.. _install-from-source: Installing ARTIQ from source ============================ .. note:: This method is only recommended for developers and advanced users. An easier way to install ARTIQ is via the Anaconda packages (see :ref:`Installing ARTIQ `). Preparing the build environment for the core device --------------------------------------------------- These steps are required to generate code that can run on the core device. They are necessary both for building the MiSoC BIOS and the ARTIQ kernels. * Install required host packages: :: $ sudo apt-get install python3.5 pip3 build-essential cmake cargo * Create a development directory: :: $ mkdir ~/artiq-dev * Clone ARTIQ repository: :: $ cd ~/artiq-dev $ git clone --recursive https://github.com/m-labs/artiq * Install OpenRISC binutils (or1k-linux-...): :: $ cd ~/artiq-dev $ wget https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/binutils/binutils-2.27.tar.bz2 $ tar xvf binutils-2.27.tar.bz2 $ cd binutils-2.27 $ curl -L 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/m-labs/conda-recipes/ece4cefbcce5548c5bd7fd4740d71ecd6930065e/conda/binutils-or1k-linux/fix-R_OR1K_GOTOFF-relocations.patch' | patch -p1 $ mkdir build $ cd build $ ../configure --target=or1k-linux --prefix=/usr/local $ make -j4 $ sudo make install .. note:: We're using an ``or1k-linux`` target because it is necessary to enable shared library support in ``ld``, not because Linux is involved. * Install LLVM and Clang: :: $ cd ~/artiq-dev $ git clone -b artiq-3.9 https://github.com/m-labs/llvm-or1k $ cd llvm-or1k $ git clone -b artiq-3.9 https://github.com/m-labs/clang-or1k tools/clang $ mkdir build $ cd build $ cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/llvm-or1k -DLLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD="OR1K;X86" -DLLVM_ENABLE_ASSERTIONS=ON -DLLVM_INSTALL_UTILS=ON $ make -j4 $ sudo make install * Install Rust: :: $ cd ~/artiq-dev $ git clone -b artiq-1.16.0 https://github.com/m-labs/rust $ cd rust $ git submodule update --init $ mkdir build $ cd build $ ../configure --prefix=/usr/local/rust-or1k --llvm-root=/usr/local/llvm-or1k --disable-manage-submodules $ sudo make install -j4 $ libs="libcore liballoc libstd_unicode libcollections liblibc_mini libunwind" $ rustc="/usr/local/rust-or1k/bin/rustc --target or1k-unknown-none -g -C target-feature=+mul,+div,+ffl1,+cmov,+addc -C opt-level=s -L ." $ destdir="/usr/local/rust-or1k/lib/rustlib/or1k-unknown-none/lib/" $ mkdir ../build-or1k $ cd ../build-or1k $ for lib in ${libs}; do ${rustc} ../src/${lib}/lib.rs; done $ ${rustc} -Cpanic=abort ../src/libpanic_abort/lib.rs $ ${rustc} -Cpanic=unwind ../src/libpanic_unwind/lib.rs --cfg llvm_libunwind $ sudo mkdir -p ${destdir} $ sudo cp *.rlib ${destdir} .. note:: Compilation of LLVM can take more than 30 min on some machines. Compilation of Rust can take more than two hours. Preparing the core device FPGA board ------------------------------------ These steps are required to generate gateware bitstream (``.bit``) files, build the MiSoC BIOS and ARTIQ runtime, and flash FPGA boards. If the board is already flashed, you may skip those steps and go directly to `Installing the host-side software`. * Install the FPGA vendor tools (i.e. Xilinx ISE and/or Vivado): * Get Xilinx tools from http://www.xilinx.com/support/download/index.htm. ISE can build gateware bitstreams both for boards using the Spartan-6 (Pipistrello) and 7-series devices (KC705), while Vivado supports only boards using 7-series devices. * The Pipistrello is supported by Webpack, the KC705 is not. * During the Xilinx toolchain installation, uncheck ``Install cable drivers`` (they are not required as we use better and open source alternatives). * Install Migen: :: $ cd ~/artiq-dev $ git clone https://github.com/m-labs/migen $ cd migen $ python3 setup.py develop --user .. note:: The options ``develop`` and ``--user`` are for setup.py to install Migen in ``~/.local/lib/python3.5``. * Install the required flash proxy gateware bitstreams: The purpose of the flash proxy gateware bitstream is to give programming software fast JTAG access to the flash connected to the FPGA. * Pipistrello and KC705: :: $ cd ~/artiq-dev $ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jordens/bscan_spi_bitstreams/master/bscan_spi_xc7k325t.bit $ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jordens/bscan_spi_bitstreams/master/bscan_spi_xc6slx45.bit Then move both files ``~/artiq-dev/bscan_spi_xc6slx45.bit`` and ``~/artiq-dev/bscan_spi_xc7k325t.bit`` to ``~/.migen``, ``/usr/local/share/migen``, or ``/usr/share/migen``. * :ref:`Download and install OpenOCD `. * Download and install ``asyncserial``: :: $ cd ~/artiq-dev $ git clone https://www.github.com/m-labs/asyncserial $ cd asyncserial $ python3 setup.py develop --user * Download and install MiSoC: :: $ cd ~/artiq-dev $ git clone --recursive https://github.com/m-labs/misoc $ cd misoc $ python3 setup.py develop --user * Download and install ``pythonparser``: :: $ cd ~/artiq-dev $ git clone https://www.github.com/m-labs/pythonparser $ cd pythonparser $ python3 setup.py develop --user * Download and install ARTIQ: :: $ cd ~/artiq-dev $ git clone --recursive https://github.com/m-labs/artiq $ cd artiq $ python3 setup.py develop --user .. note:: If you have any trouble during ARTIQ setup about ``pygit2`` installation, refer to the section dealing with :ref:`installing the host-side software `. * Build the gateware bitstream, BIOS and runtime by running: :: $ cd ~/artiq-dev $ export PATH=/usr/local/llvm-or1k/bin:$PATH .. note:: Make sure that ``/usr/local/llvm-or1k/bin`` is first in your ``PATH``, so that the ``clang`` command you just built is found instead of the system one, if any. * For Pipistrello:: $ python3 -m artiq.gateware.targets.pipistrello * For KC705:: $ python3 -m artiq.gateware.targets.kc705_dds -H nist_clock # or nist_qc2 .. note:: Add ``--toolchain ise`` if you wish to use ISE instead of Vivado. * Then, gather the binaries and flash them: :: $ mkdir binaries $ cp misoc_nist_qcX_/gateware/top.bit binaries $ cp misoc_nist_qcX_/software/bios/bios.bin binaries $ cp misoc_nist_qcX_/software/runtime/runtime.fbi binaries $ cd binaries $ artiq_flash -d . -t .. note:: The `-t` option specifies the board your are targeting. Available options are ``kc705`` and ``pipistrello``. * Check that the board boots by running a serial terminal program (you may need to press its FPGA reconfiguration button or power-cycle it to load the gateware bitstream that was newly written into the flash): :: $ flterm /dev/ttyUSB1 MiSoC BIOS http://m-labs.hk [...] Booting from flash... Loading xxxxx bytes from flash... Executing booted program. ARTIQ runtime built .. note:: flterm is part of MiSoC. If you installed MiSoC with ``setup.py develop --user``, the flterm launcher is in ``~/.local/bin``. The communication parameters are 115200 8-N-1. Ensure that your user has access to the serial device (``sudo adduser $USER dialout`` assuming standard setup). .. _installing-the-host-side-software: Installing the host-side software --------------------------------- * Install the llvmlite Python bindings: :: $ cd ~/artiq-dev $ git clone https://github.com/m-labs/llvmlite $ cd llvmlite $ git checkout artiq-3.9 $ LLVM_CONFIG=/usr/local/llvm-or1k/bin/llvm-config python3 setup.py install --user * Install ARTIQ: :: $ cd ~/artiq-dev $ git clone --recursive https://github.com/m-labs/artiq # if not already done $ cd artiq $ python3 setup.py develop --user .. note:: If you have any trouble during ARTIQ setup about ``pygit2`` installation, you can install it by using ``pip``: On Ubuntu 14.04:: $ python3 `which pip3` install --user pygit2==0.19.1 On Ubuntu 14.10:: $ python3 `which pip3` install --user pygit2==0.20.3 On Ubuntu 15.04 and 15.10:: $ python3 `which pip3` install --user pygit2==0.22.1 On Ubuntu 16.04:: $ python3 `which pip3` install --user pygit2==0.24.1 The rationale behind this is that pygit2 and libgit2 must have the same major.minor version numbers. See http://www.pygit2.org/install.html#version-numbers * Build the documentation: :: $ cd ~/artiq-dev/artiq/doc/manual $ make html
