Firmware
for building firmware use: /opt/intelFPGA/20.1/nios2eds/nios2_command_shell.sh
git clone git@bitbucket.org:ttriumfdaq/vmeio.git cd vmeio /opt/intelFPGA/20.1/nios2eds/nios2_command_shell.sh make make jic make load_jic
for jtag access, use /daq/quartus/13.1.3.178/quartus/bin/jtagconfig
daq01:intelFPGA$ /daq/quartus/13.1.3.178/quartus/bin/jtagconfig 1) USB-Blaster [1-8] 02B030DD 5CGTFD7(B5|C5|D5)/5CGXBC7B6/..
Firmware update procedure
- obtain and build the VME programmer (srunner_vme) and IO32 test program (test_VMENIMIO32):
- mkdir $HOME/packages
- cd $HOME/packages
- git clone https://bitbucket.org/ttriumfdaq/vme # get the repository, done once
- cd vme
- git pull # get latest version
- make -k srunner_vme.exe srunner_vme_gef.exe test_VMENIMIO32.exe test_VMENIMIO32_gef.exe
- read the firmware revision from VME register 0:
- ./test_VMENIMIO32_gef.exe --addr 0x800000 --read 0
- write FPGA firmware into the flash memory using the VME programmer:
- ./srunner_vme_gef.exe -program -256 vmeio.pof 0x800020
- reboot the FPGA into the new firmware:
- ./test_VMENIMIO32_gef.exe --addr 0x800000 --reboot
Firmware registers
vmeio register set is a mix of IO32 registers and chronobox registers.
