Installing ARTIQ
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
Preparing the core device FPGA board
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
These steps are required to generate 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 (e.g. Xilinx ISE and/or Vivado):
|
|
|
|
* Get Xilinx tools from http://www.xilinx.com/support/download/index.htm. ISE can build 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).
|
|
|
|
* Create a development directory: ::
|
|
|
|
$ mkdir ~/artiq-dev
|
|
|
|
* Install Migen: ::
|
|
|
|
$ cd ~/artiq-dev
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/m-labs/migen
|
|
$ cd ~/artiq-dev/migen
|
|
$ python3 setup.py develop --user
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
The options ``develop`` and ``--user`` are for setup.py to install Migen in ``~/.local/lib/python3.4``.
|
|
|
|
* Install OpenRISC GCC/binutils toolchain (or1k-elf-...): ::
|
|
|
|
$ mkdir ~/artiq-dev
|
|
$ cd ~/artiq-dev
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/openrisc/or1k-src
|
|
$ mkdir ~/artiq-dev/or1k-src/build
|
|
$ cd ~/artiq-dev/or1k-src/build
|
|
$ ../configure --target=or1k-elf --enable-shared --disable-itcl \
|
|
--disable-tk --disable-tcl --disable-winsup \
|
|
--disable-gdbtk --disable-libgui --disable-rda \
|
|
--disable-sid --disable-sim --disable-gdb \
|
|
--disable-newlib --disable-libgloss --disable-werror
|
|
$ make -j4
|
|
$ sudo make install
|
|
|
|
$ cd ~/artiq-dev
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/openrisc/or1k-gcc
|
|
$ mkdir ~/artiq-dev/or1k-gcc/build
|
|
$ cd ~/artiq-dev/or1k-gcc/build
|
|
$ ../configure --target=or1k-elf --enable-languages=c \
|
|
--disable-shared --disable-libssp
|
|
$ make -j4
|
|
$ sudo make install
|
|
|
|
* Install JTAG tools needed to program the Pipistrello and KC705:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
$ cd ~/artiq-dev
|
|
$ svn co https://xc3sprog.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xc3sprog/trunk xc3sprog
|
|
$ cd ~/artiq-dev/xc3sprog
|
|
$ cmake . && make
|
|
$ sudo make install
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
It is safe to ignore the message "Could NOT find LIBFTD2XX" (libftd2xx is different from libftdi, and is not required).
|
|
|
|
* Install the required flash proxy bitstreams:
|
|
|
|
The purpose of the flash proxy bitstream is to give programming software fast JTAG access to the flash connected to the FPGA.
|
|
|
|
* Pipistrello:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
$ cd ~/artiq-dev
|
|
$ wget http://www.phys.ethz.ch/~robertjo/bscan_spi_lx45_csg324.bit
|
|
|
|
Then copy ``~/artiq-dev/bscan_spi_lx45_csg324.bit`` to ``~/.migen``, ``/usr/local/share/migen`` or ``/usr/share/migen``.
|
|
|
|
* KC705:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
$ cd ~/artiq-dev
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/m-labs/bscan_spi_kc705
|
|
|
|
Build the bitstream and copy it to one of the folders above.
|
|
|
|
* Download MiSoC: ::
|
|
|
|
$ cd ~/artiq-dev
|
|
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/m-labs/misoc
|
|
$ export MSCDIR=~/artiq-dev/misoc # append this line to .bashrc
|
|
|
|
* Download and install ARTIQ: ::
|
|
|
|
$ cd ~/artiq-dev
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/m-labs/artiq
|
|
$ python3 setup.py develop --user
|
|
|
|
* Build and flash the bitstream and BIOS by running `from the MiSoC top-level directory`: ::
|
|
|
|
$ cd ~/artiq-dev/misoc
|
|
$ ./make.py -X ~/artiq-dev/artiq/soc -t artiq_ppro all
|
|
|
|
* Then, build and flash the ARTIQ runtime: ::
|
|
|
|
$ cd ~/artiq-dev/artiq/soc/runtime && make runtime.fbi
|
|
$ ~/artiq-dev/artiq/artiq/frontend/artiq_flash.sh -t pipistrello -d $PWD -r
|
|
|
|
.. 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 bitstream that was newly written into the flash): ::
|
|
|
|
$ make -C ~/artiq-dev/misoc/tools # do only once
|
|
$ ~/artiq-dev/misoc/tools/flterm --port /dev/ttyUSB1
|
|
MiSoC BIOS http://m-labs.hk
|
|
[...]

|
|
ARTIQ runtime built <date/time>
|
|
|
|
The communication parameters are 115200 8-N-1.
|
|
|
|
* Set the MAC and IP address in the :ref:`core device configuration flash storage <core-device-flash-storage>`:
|
|
|
|
* You can either set it by generating a flash storage image and then flash it: ::
|
|
|
|
$ artiq_mkfs flash_storage.img -s mac xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx -s ip xx.xx.xx.xx
|
|
$ ~/artiq-dev/artiq/frontend/artiq_flash.sh -f flash_storage.img
|
|
|
|
* Or you can set it via the runtime test mode command line
|
|
|
|
* Boot the board.
|
|
|
|
* Quickly run flterm (in ``path/to/misoc/tools``) to access the serial console.
|
|
|
|
* If you weren't quick enough to see anything in the serial console, press the reset button.
|
|
|
|
* Wait for "Press 't' to enter test mode..." to appear and hit the ``t`` key.
|
|
|
|
* Enter the following commands (which will erase the flash storage content).
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
test> fserase
|
|
test> fswrite ip xx.xx.xx.xx
|
|
test> fswrite mac xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
|
|
|
|
* Then reboot.
|
|
|
|
You should see something like this in the serial console: ::
|
|
|
|
~/dev/misoc$ ./tools/flterm --port /dev/ttyUSB1
|
|

|
|
Entering test mode.
|
|
test> fserase
|
|
test> fswrite ip 192.168.10.2
|
|
test> fswrite mac 11:22:33:44:55:66
|
|
|
|
.. note:: The reset button of the KC705 board is the "CPU_RST" labeled button.
|
|
.. warning:: Both those instructions will result in the flash storage being wiped out. However you can use the test mode to change the IP/MAC without erasing everything if you skip the "fserase" command.
|
|
|
|
* (optional) Flash the ``idle`` kernel
|
|
|
|
The ``idle`` kernel is the kernel (some piece of code running on the core device) which the core device runs whenever it is not connected to a PC via ethernet.
|
|
This kernel is therefore stored in the :ref:`core device configuration flash storage <core-device-flash-storage>`.
|
|
To flash the ``idle`` kernel:
|
|
|
|
* Compile the ``idle`` experiment:
|
|
The ``idle`` experiment's ``run()`` method must be a kernel: it must be decorated with the ``@kernel`` decorator (see :ref:`next topic <connecting-to-the-core-device>` for more information about kernels).
|
|
|
|
Since the core device is not connected to the PC, RPCs (calling Python code running on the PC from the kernel) are forbidden in the ``idle`` experiment.
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
$ artiq_compile idle.py
|
|
|
|
* Write it into the core device configuration flash storage: ::
|
|
|
|
$ artiq_coreconfig -f idle_kernel idle.elf
|
|
|
|
.. note:: You can find more information about how to use the ``artiq_coreconfig`` tool on the :ref:`Utilities <core-device-configuration-tool>` page.
|
|
|
|
Installing the host-side software
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
* Install LLVM and the llvmlite Python bindings: ::
|
|
|
|
$ cd ~/artiq-dev
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/openrisc/llvm-or1k
|
|
$ cd ~/artiq-dev/llvm-or1k/tools
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/openrisc/clang-or1k clang
|
|
|
|
$ cd ~/artiq-dev/llvm-or1k
|
|
$ mkdir build
|
|
$ cd ~/artiq-dev/llvm-or1k/build
|
|
$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/llvm-or1k -DLLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD=OR1K -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON
|
|
$ make -j4
|
|
$ sudo make install
|
|
|
|
$ cd ~/artiq-dev
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/numba/llvmlite
|
|
$ cd ~/artiq-dev/llvmlite
|
|
$ patch -p1 < ~/artiq-dev/artiq/misc/llvmlite-add-all-targets.patch
|
|
$ PATH=/usr/local/llvm-or1k/bin:$PATH sudo -E python3 setup.py install
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
llvmlite is in development and its API is not stable yet. Commit ID ``11a8303d02e3d6dd2d1e0e9065701795cd8a979f`` is known to work.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
Compilation of LLVM can take more than 30 min on some machines.
|
|
|
|
* Install ARTIQ: ::
|
|
|
|
$ cd ~/artiq-dev
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/m-labs/artiq # if not already done
|
|
$ cd artiq
|
|
$ python3 setup.py develop --user
|
|
|
|
* Build the documentation: ::
|
|
|
|
$ cd ~/artiq-dev/artiq/doc/manual
|
|
$ make html
|
|
|
|
Ubuntu 14.04 specific instructions
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This command installs all the required packages: ::
|
|
|
|
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential autotools-dev file git patch perl xutils-devs python3-pip texinfo flex bison libmpc-dev python3-serial python3-dateutil python3-prettytable python3-setuptools python3-numpy python3-scipy python3-sphinx python3-h5py python3-gi python3-dev python-dev subversion cmake libusb-dev libftdi-dev pkg-config
|
|
|
|
Note that ARTIQ requires Python 3.4 or above.
|
|
|
|
To set user permissions on the JTAG and serial ports of the Pipistrello, create a ``/etc/udev/rules.d/30-usb-papilio.rules`` file containing the following: ::
|
|
|
|
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6010", GROUP="dialout"
|
|
|
|
Then reload ``udev``, add your user to the ``dialout`` group, and log out and log in again: ::
|
|
|
|
$ sudo invoke-rc.d udev reload
|
|
$ sudo adduser <your username> dialout
|
|
$ logout
|
