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>`.
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
NIST users on Linux need to pay close attention to their ``umask``.
|
|
The sledgehammer called ``secureconfig`` leaves you (and root) with umask 027 and files created by root (for example through ``sudo make install``) inaccessible to you.
|
|
The usual umask is 022.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installing using conda
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
Conda packages are supported for Linux (64-bit) and Windows (32- and 64-bit).
|
|
Users of other operating systems (32-bit Linux, BSD, OSX ...) should and can :ref:`install from source <install-from-sources>`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
After installing either Anaconda or Miniconda, open a new terminal (also known as command line, console, or shell and denoted here as lines starting with ``$``) and verify the following command works::
|
|
|
|
$ conda
|
|
|
|
Executing just ``conda`` should print the help of the ``conda`` command [1]_.
|
|
|
|
Installing the ARTIQ packages
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Add the M-Labs ``main`` Anaconda package repository containing stable releases and release candidates to your conda configuration::
|
|
|
|
$ conda config --add channels http://conda.anaconda.org/m-labs/label/main
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
To use the development versions of ARTIQ, also add the ``dev`` label (http://conda.anaconda.org/m-labs/label/dev).
|
|
Development versions are built for every change and contain more features, but are not as well-tested and are more likely to contain more bugs or inconsistencies than the releases in the ``main`` label.
|
|
|
|
Then prepare to create a new conda environment with the ARTIQ package and the matching binaries for your hardware:
|
|
choose a suitable name for the environment, for example ``artiq-main`` if you intend to track the main label or ``artiq-2016-04-01`` if you consider the environment a snapshot of ARTIQ on 2016-04-01.
|
|
Choose the package containing the binaries for your hardware:
|
|
|
|
* ``artiq-pipistrello-nist_qc1`` for the `Pipistrello <http://pipistrello.saanlima.com/>`_ board with the NIST adapter to SCSI cables and AD9858 DDS chips.
|
|
* ``artiq-kc705-nist_qc1`` for the `KC705 <http://www.xilinx.com/products/boards-and-kits/ek-k7-kc705-g.html>`_ board with the NIST adapter to SCSI cables and AD9858 DDS chips.
|
|
* ``artiq-kc705-nist_clock`` for the KC705 board with the NIST "clock" FMC backplane and AD9914 DDS chips.
|
|
* ``artiq-kc7005-nist_qc2`` for the KC705 board with the NIST QC2 FMC backplane and AD9914 DDS chips.
|
|
|
|
Conda will create the environment, automatically resolve, download, and install the necessary dependencies and install the packages you select::
|
|
|
|
$ conda create -n artiq-main artiq-pipistrello-nist_qc1
|
|
|
|
After the installation, activate the newly created environment by name.
|
|
On Unix::
|
|
|
|
$ source activate artiq-main
|
|
|
|
On Windows::
|
|
|
|
$ activate artiq-main
|
|
|
|
This activation has to be performed in every new shell you open to make the ARTIQ tools from that environment available.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
[Linux] The ``qt5`` package requires libraries not packaged under the ``m-labs`` conda labels.
|
|
Those need to be installed through the Linux distribution's mechanism.
|
|
If GUI programs do not start because they ``could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "xcb"``, install the various ``libxcb-*`` packages through your distribution's preferred mechanism.
|
|
The names of the libraries missing can be obtained from the output of a command like ``ldd [path-to-conda-installation]/envs/artiq-main/lib/qt5/plugins/platform/libqxcb.so``.
|
|
|
|
Upgrading ARTIQ
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
When upgrading ARTIQ or when testing different versions it is recommended that new environments are created instead of upgrading the packages in existing environments.
|
|
Keep previous environments around until you are certain that they are not needed anymore and a new environment is known to work correctly.
|
|
You can create a new conda environment specifically to test a certain version of ARTIQ::
|
|
|
|
$ conda create -n artiq-test-1.0rc2 artiq-pipistrello-nist_qc1=1.0rc2
|
|
|
|
Switching between conda environments using ``$ source deactivate artiq-1.0rc2`` and ``$ source activate artiq-1.0rc1`` is the recommended way to roll back to previous versions of ARTIQ.
|
|
You can list the environments you have created using::
|
|
|
|
$ conda env list
|
|
|
|
See also the `conda documentation <http://conda.pydata.org/docs/using/envs.html>`_ for managing environments.
|
|
|
|
Preparing the core device FPGA board
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
You now need to write three binary images onto the FPGA board:
|
|
|
|
1. The FPGA gateware bitstream
|
|
2. The BIOS
|
|
3. The ARTIQ runtime
|
|
|
|
They are all shipped in the conda packages, along with the required flash proxy gateware bitstreams.
|
|
|
|
.. _install-openocd:
|
|
|
|
Installing OpenOCD
|
|
..................
|
|
|
|
There are several tools that can be used to write the thee binaries into the core device FPGA board's flash memory.
|
|
Xilinx ISE (impact) or Vivado work, as does xc3sprog sometimes.
|
|
OpenOCD is the recommended and most reliable method.
|
|
It is however not currently packaged as a conda package nor has it been tested on Windows.
|
|
|
|
Use these commands to download, build, and install ``openocd`` from source on Debian or Ubuntu systems::
|
|
|
|
$ cd ~/artiq-dev
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/ntfreak/openocd.git
|
|
$ cd openocd
|
|
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential libtool libusb-1.0-0-dev libftdi-dev automake
|
|
$ ./bootstrap
|
|
$ ./configure
|
|
$ make
|
|
$ sudo make install
|
|
$ sudo cp contrib/99-openocd.rules /etc/udev/rules.d
|
|
$ sudo adduser $USER plugdev
|
|
|
|
Then, you can flash the board:
|
|
|
|
* For the Pipistrello board::
|
|
|
|
$ artiq_flash -t pipistrello -m qc1
|
|
|
|
* For the KC705 board (selecting the appropriate hardware peripheral)::
|
|
|
|
$ artiq_flash -t kc705 -m [qc1/clock/qc2]
|
|
|
|
For the KC705, the next step is to flash the MAC and IP addresses to the board. See :ref:`those instructions <flash-mac-ip-addr>`.
|
|
|
|
.. _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-2.26.tar.bz2
|
|
$ tar xvf binutils-2.26.tar.bz2
|
|
$ rm binutils-2.26.tar.bz2
|
|
|
|
$ 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_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/llvm-or1k -DLLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD="OR1K;X86" -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 gateware 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 (i.e. Xilinx ISE and/or Vivado):
|
|
|
|
* Get Xilinx tools from http://www.xilinx.com/support/download/index.htm. ISE can build gateware 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
|
|
$ python3.5 setup.py develop --user
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
The options ``develop`` and ``--user`` are for setup.py to install Migen in ``~/.local/lib/python3.5``.
|
|
|
|
.. _install-flash-proxy:
|
|
|
|
* Install the required flash proxy gateware bitstreams:
|
|
|
|
The purpose of the flash proxy gateware bitstream is to give programming software fast JTAG access to the flash connected to the FPGA.
|
|
|
|
* Pipistrello and KC705:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
$ cd ~/artiq-dev
|
|
$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jordens/bscan_spi_bitstreams/master/bscan_spi_xc7k325t.bit
|
|
$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jordens/bscan_spi_bitstreams/master/bscan_spi_xc6slx45.bit
|
|
|
|
Then move both files ``~/artiq-dev/bscan_spi_xc6slx45.bit`` and ``~/artiq-dev/bscan_spi_xc7k325t.bit`` to ``~/.migen``, ``/usr/local/share/migen``, or ``/usr/share/migen``.
|
|
|
|
* :ref:`Download and install OpenOCD <install-openocd>`.
|
|
|
|
* Download and install MiSoC: ::
|
|
|
|
$ cd ~/artiq-dev
|
|
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/m-labs/misoc
|
|
$ cd misoc
|
|
$ python3.5 setup.py develop --user
|
|
|
|
* Download and install ARTIQ: ::
|
|
|
|
$ cd ~/artiq-dev
|
|
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/m-labs/artiq
|
|
$ cd artiq
|
|
$ python3.5 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 gateware 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::
|
|
|
|
$ python3.5 -m artiq.gateware.targets.pipistrello
|
|
|
|
* For KC705::
|
|
|
|
$ python3.5 -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 -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 gateware bitstream that was newly written into the flash): ::
|
|
|
|
$ flterm /dev/ttyUSB1
|
|
MiSoC BIOS http://m-labs.hk
|
|
[...]
|
|
Booting from flash...
|
|
Loading xxxxx bytes from flash...
|
|
Executing booted program.
|
|
ARTIQ runtime built <date/time>
|
|
|
|
.. note:: flterm is part of MiSoC. If you installed MiSoC with ``setup.py develop --user``, the flterm launcher is in ``~/.local/bin``.
|
|
|
|
The communication parameters are 115200 8-N-1. Ensure that your user has access
|
|
to the serial device (``sudo adduser $USER dialout`` assuming standard setup).

Installing the host-side software
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
* Install the llvmlite Python bindings: ::
|
|
|
|
$ cd ~/artiq-dev
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/m-labs/llvmlite
|
|
$ cd llvmlite
|
|
$ git checkout artiq
|
|
$ LLVM_CONFIG=/usr/local/llvm-or1k/bin/llvm-config python3.5 setup.py install --user
|
|
|
|
* Install ARTIQ: ::
|
|
|
|
$ cd ~/artiq-dev
|
|
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/m-labs/artiq # if not already done
|
|
$ cd artiq
|
|
$ python3.5 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::
|
|
|
|
$ python3.5 `which pip3` install --user pygit2==0.19.1
|
|
|
|
On Ubuntu 14.10::
|
|
|
|
$ python3.5 `which pip3` install --user pygit2==0.20.3
|
|
|
|
On Ubuntu 15.04 and 15.10::
|
|
|
|
$ python3.5 `which pip3` 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_flash -f flash_storage.img proxy storage start
|
|
|
|
* 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...
|
|
|
|

|
|
Press 't' to enter test mode...
|
|
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 write -f idle_kernel idle.elf
|
|
|
|
.. note:: You can find more information about how to use the ``artiq_coreconfig`` utility on the :ref:`Utilities <core-device-configuration-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_coreconfig``.
|
|
|
|
* (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_coreconfig write -s startup_clock i # internal clock (default)
|
|
$ artiq_coreconfig write -s startup_clock e # external clock
|
|
