Installing ARTIQ
================
Preparing the core device FPGA board

You may skip those steps if the board is already flashed.
You will need:
* FPGA vendor tools (e.g. Xilinx ISE or Vivado)
* OpenRISC GCC/binutils toolchain (or1k-elf-...)
2014-09-29 14:50:29 +08:00
* Python 3.3+
2014-09-28 23:25:32 +08:00
* Migen and MiSoC (http://m-labs.hk/gateware.html)
After these components are installed, build and flash the bitstream and BIOS by running `from the MiSoC top-level directory`: ::
$ ./make.py -X /path_to/ARTIQ/soc -t artiq all
Then, build and flash the ARTIQ runtime: ::
$ cd /path_to/ARTIQ/soc/runtime
$ make flash
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): ::
$ flterm --port /dev/ttyUSB1
MiSoC BIOS http://m-labs.hk

The main dependency of ARTIQ is LLVM and its Python bindings (http://llvmpy.org). Currently, this installation is tedious because of the OpenRISC support not being merged upstream LLVM and because of incompatibilities between the versions of LLVM that support OpenRISC and the versions of LLVM that support the Python bindings. ::

.. note::
``python`` refers to Python 3. You may need to use the ``python3`` command instead of ``python`` on some distributions.
2014-09-29 09:43:12 +08:00
You may want to use ``checkinstall`` instead of ``make install`` (to register the installation with your package manager) and ``pip3 install --user .`` instead of ``sudo -E python setup.py install``.
2014-09-28 23:25:32 +08:00
You can then install ARTIQ itself: ::
cd /path_to/ARTIQ
sudo python setup.py
Alternatively, you can simply add the ARTIQ directory to your ``PYTHONPATH`` environment variable. The advantage of this technique is that you will not need to reinstall ARTIQ when modifying or upgrading it, which is useful during development.
