Installing from source

You can skip this if you already installed from conda.
You can skip the first two steps if you already installed from conda.
Preparing the core device FPGA board
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Preparing the build environment for the core device
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
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).
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
* 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/python3.4``.
* Install OpenRISC binutils (or1k-linux-...): ::
