Use ARTIQ via the Nix Package Manager
|
|
=====================================
|
|
|
|
These instructions provide an alternative route to install ARTIQ for people who do not wish to use conda.
|
|
|
|
This sets up an environment suitable for using ARTIQ, including the ARTIQ-Python compiler, device drivers, and the graphical user interfaces. This works correctly on Linux, and partially works (but not to a level that we would consider usable) with WSL introduced in Windows 10.
|
|
|
|
* Install the Nix package manager
|
|
|
|
* many Linux distros already have a package for the `Nix package manager <http://nixos.org/nix/>`_
|
|
|
|
* for example: ``$ apt-get install nix``
|
|
|
|
* if you would like to install via sh
|
|
|
|
* ``$ wget https://nixos.org/nix/install``
|
|
|
|
* ``$ sh install``
|
|
|
|
* ``$ source ~/.nix-profile/etc/profile.d/nix.sh``
|
|
|
|
* ``$ nix-channel --add https://nixbld.m-labs.hk/project/artiq/channel/latest m-labs``
|
|
* ``$ nix-channel --update``
|
|
* create the file ``~/.config/nix/nix.conf`` with the following content: ::
|
|
substituters = https://cache.nixos.org https://nixbld.m-labs.hk
|
|
trusted-public-keys = cache.nixos.org-1:6NCHdD59X431o0gWypbMrAURkbJ16ZPMQFGspcDShjY= nixbld.m-labs.hk-1:5aSRVA5b320xbNvu30tqxVPXpld73bhtOeH6uAjRyHc=\
|
|
|
|
* ``$ nix-env -i python3.6-artiq``
|
|
|
|
ARTIQ development environment with Nix
|
|
======================================
|
|
|
|
Run ``nix-shell shell-dev.nix`` to obtain an environment containing Migen, MiSoC, Microscope, jesd204b, Clang, Rust, Cargo, and OpenOCD in addition to the user environment above.
|
|
|
|
This creates a FHS chroot environment in order to simplify the installation and patching of Xilinx Vivado (it needs to be installed manually e.g. in your home folder).
|
|
|
|
You can then build the firmware and gateware with a command such as ``python -m artiq.gateware.targets.kasli --gateware-toolchain-path ~/Xilinx/Vivado``.
