Installing ARTIQ
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
The preferred way of installing ARTIQ is through the use of the conda package manager.
|
|
The conda package contains pre-built binaries that you can directly flash to your board.
|
|
But you can also :ref:`install from sources <install-from-sources>`.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: Only the linux-64 and linux-32 conda packages contain the FPGA/BIOS/runtime pre-built binaries.
|
|
|
|
Installing using conda
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Installing Anaconda or Miniconda
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
* You can either install Anaconda (choose Python 3.5) from https://store.continuum.io/cshop/anaconda/
|
|
|
|
* Or install the more minimalistic Miniconda (choose Python 3.5) from http://conda.pydata.org/miniconda.html
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
If you are installing on Windows, choose the Windows 32-bit version regardless of whether you have
|
|
a 32-bit or 64-bit Windows.
|
|
|
|
After installing either Anaconda or Miniconda, open a new terminal and make sure the following command works::
|
|
|
|
$ conda
|
|
|
|
If it prints the help of the ``conda`` command, your install is OK.
|
|
If not, then make sure your ``$PATH`` environment variable contains the path to anaconda3/bin (or miniconda3/bin)::
|
|
|
|
$ echo $PATH
|
|
/home/.../miniconda3/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
|
|
|
|
If your ``$PATH`` misses reference the miniconda3/bin or anaconda3/bin you can fix this by typing::
|
|
|
|
$ export PATH=$HOME/miniconda3:$PATH
|
|
|
|
Installing the host side software
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
For this, you need to add our Anaconda repository to your conda configuration::
|
|
|
|
$ conda config --add channels http://conda.anaconda.org/m-labs/channel/main
|
|
$ conda config --add channels http://conda.anaconda.org/m-labs/channel/dev
|
|
|
|
Then you can install the ARTIQ package, it will pull all the necessary dependencies.
|
|
|
|
* For the Pipistrello board::
|
|
|
|
$ ENV=$(date +artiq-%Y-%m-%d); conda create -n $ENV artiq-pipistrello-nist_qc1; \
|
|
echo "Created environment $ENV for ARTIQ"
|
|
|
|
* For the KC705 board with SCSI cables and AD9858 DDS chips::
|
|
|
|
$ ENV=$(date +artiq-%Y-%m-%d); conda create -n $ENV artiq-kc705-nist_qc1; \
|
|
echo "Created environment $ENV for ARTIQ"
|
|
|
|
* For the KC705 board with the FMC backplane and AD9914 DDS chips::
|
|
|
|
$ ENV=$(date +artiq-%Y-%m-%d); conda create -n $ENV artiq-kc705-nist_qc2; \
|
|
echo "Created environment $ENV for ARTIQ"
|
|
|
|
This creates a new Conda "environment" (i.e. an isolated installation) and prints its name.
|
|
If you ever need to upgrade ARTIQ, it is advised to install it again
|
|
in a new environment so that you can roll back to a version that is known to
|
|
work correctly.
|
|
|
|
After this, add the newly created environment to your ``$PATH``. This can be easily
|
|
done using the following command::
|
|
|
|
$ source activate artiq-[date]
|
|
|
|
You will need to invoke this command in every new shell. When in doubt, you can list
|
|
the existing environments using::
|
|
|
|
$ conda env list
|
|
|
|
Preparing the core device FPGA board
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
You now need to flash 3 things on the FPGA board:
|
|
|
|
1. The FPGA bitstream
|
|
2. The BIOS
|
|
3. The ARTIQ runtime
|
|
|
|
First you need to :ref:`install xc3sprog <install-xc3sprog>`. Then, you can flash the board:
|
|
|
|
* For the Pipistrello board::
|
|
|
|
$ artiq_flash.sh -t pipistrello
|
|
|
|
* For the KC705 board::
|
|
|
|
$ artiq_flash.sh
|
|
|
|
Next step (for KC705) is to flash MAC and IP addresses to the board:
|
|
|
|
* See :ref:`those instructions <flash-mac-ip-addr>` to flash MAC and IP addresses.
|
|
|
|
.. _install-from-sources:
|
|
|
|
Installing from source
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
* 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-2.25.1.tar.bz2
|
|
$ tar xvf binutils-2.25.1.tar.bz2
|
|
$ rm binutils-2.25.1.tar.bz2
|
|
|
|
$ cd binutils-2.25.1
|
|
$ patch -p1 <~/artiq-dev/misc/binutils-2.25.1-or1k-R_PCREL-pcrel_offset.patch
|
|
|
|
$ 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 https://github.com/openrisc/llvm-or1k
|
|
$ cd llvm-or1k/tools
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/openrisc/clang-or1k clang
|
|
$ cd ..
|
|
|
|
$ mkdir build
|
|
$ cd build
|
|
$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/llvm-or1k -DLLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD="OR1K;X86" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Rel -DLLVM_ENABLE_ASSERTIONS=ON
|
|
$ make -j4
|
|
$ sudo make install
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
Compilation of LLVM can take more than 30 min on some machines.
|
|
|
|
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).
|
|
|
|
* 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-xc3sprog:
|
|
|
|
* Install JTAG tools needed to program the Pipistrello and KC705:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
$ cd ~/artiq-dev
|
|
$ svn co http://svn.code.sf.net/p/xc3sprog/code/trunk xc3sprog
|
|
$ cd 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-flash-proxy:
|
|
|
|
* 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 https://people.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
|
|
$ cd bscan_spi_kc705
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
Then copy the generated ``bscan_spi_kc705.bit`` to ``~/.migen``, ``/usr/local/share/migen`` or ``/usr/share/migen``.
|
|
|
|
* 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 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 <installing-the-host-side-software>`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Build the 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 -H qc1 # or qc2
|
|
|
|
* Then, gather the binaries and flash them: ::
|
|
|
|
$ mkdir binaries
|
|
$ cp misoc_nist_qcX_<board>/gateware/top.bit binaries
|
|
$ cp misoc_nist_qcX_<board>/software/bios/bios.bin binaries
|
|
$ cp misoc_nist_qcX_<board>/software/runtime/runtime.fbi binaries
|
|
$ cd binaries
|
|
$ artiq_flash.sh -d . -t <board>
|
|
|
|
.. 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
|
|

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
* Install the llvmlite Python bindings: ::
|
|
|
|
$ cd ~/artiq-dev
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/m-labs/llvmlite
|
|
$ git checkout artiq
|
|
$ cd llvmlite
|
|
$ 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::
|
|
|
|
$ pip install --user pygit2==0.19.1
|
|
|
|
On Ubuntu 14.10::
|
|
|
|
$ pip install --user pygit2==0.20.3
|
|
|
|
On Ubuntu 15.04 and 15.10::
|
|
|
|
$ pip install --user pygit2==0.22.1
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
Configuring the core device
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
This should be done after either installation method (conda or source).
|
|
|
|
.. _flash-mac-ip-addr:
|
|
|
|
* 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: ::
|
|
|
|
$ ./tools/flterm --port /dev/ttyUSB1
|
|
[FLTERM] Starting...
|
|
|

|
|
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_coretool cfg-write -f idle_kernel idle.elf
|
|
|
|
.. note:: You can find more information about how to use the ``artiq_coretool`` utility on the :ref:`Utilities <core-device-access-tool>` page.
|
|
|
|
* (optional) Flash the startup kernel
|
|
|
|
The startup kernel is executed once when the core device powers up. It should initialize DDSes, set up TTL directions, etc. Proceed as with the idle kernel, but using the ``startup_kernel`` key in ``artiq_coretool``.
|
|
|
|
* (optional) Select the startup clock
|
|
|
|
The core device may use either an external clock signal or its internal clock. This clock can be switched dynamically after the PC is connected using the ``external_clock`` parameter of the core device driver; however, one may want to select the clock at power-up so that it is used for the startup and idle kernels. Use one of these commands: ::
|
|
|
|
$ artiq_coretool cfg-write -s startup_clock i # internal clock (default)
|
|
$ artiq_coretool cfg-write -s startup_clock e # external clock
|
|
|
|
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-dev python3-pip texinfo flex bison libmpc-dev python3-serial python3-dateutil python3-prettytable python3-setuptools python3-numpy python3-scipy python3-sphinx python3-h5py python3-dev python-dev subversion cmake libusb-dev libftdi-dev pkg-config libffi-dev libgit2-dev
|
|
|
|
Note that ARTIQ requires Python 3.5.0 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
|
