The Hardware and Software Reference / Demo -Designs Projects are available as a prebuild zip archive. The archive contains a Libero Hardware Project and a SoftConsole Workspace folder, they were created and tested in windows environment.
This SoftConsole Workspace contains the Software Projects Webserver, Hello World and SoC erase flash. The board configuration file "microsemi-smartfusion2-smartberry-ddr.cfg" which is required for the usage of the Software projects via the IDE SoftConsole.
Launch
Page properties | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
Note:
|
Executing a Reference / Demo Design on a module requires the powering of it and a JTAG or UART Connection for Programming and Communication. Often the programming is a two fold process, where the first programming configures the FPGA and the second programming flashes Software code to be executed inside the FPGA / ARM processor.
Connecting
Connect the carriers micro USB connector to your host pc and power it via barrel connector (5 V, plus pole inside), this powers the module and a simultaneous JTAG and UART connection is possible.
Only necessary for running the Demo Webserver:
The demo is configured to establish a network connection via the DHCP protocol, therefore, if a a free router port is used, no further port setup is required.
If a "direct Ethernet Connection" between Host PC and module is used, the user must know how to setup this connection type. Further down in this chapter is explained how to setup the Demo Webserver and recompile it, so that it uses a static IP.
Driver check
When the module is connected via USB cable to your demo host computer, in the Windows Device Manager appear the following tree board driver related devices:
In section Ports (COM & LPT):
- FlashPro5 Port (ComX)
In section Universal Serial Bus controllers:
- USB FP5 Serial Converter A
- USB FP5 Serial Converter B
The Device Manager is accessible via "Right mouse click context menu" from the Windows Start Menu Button. When these devices are not visible, the driver installation through libero could be faulty.
Programming the Hardware design
Via Libero
Programming of the Hardware reference Design requires to open the FPGA Design IDE Libero.
Scroll Title | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
The Hardware Reference Design can be opened via "Project > Open Project" in the top right corner of Libero (picture above - upper green rectangle). A file dialogue opens, point the dialogue along the extracted download to the folder containing the Hardware Reference Design.
Disk :\ Path-to-the-demo-archive \ Extracted ZIP-archive \ Libero-RefDesign_vXY\
Double left mouse click onto the project file "Referenz-Design_XY .prjx" to open it. The board is automatically selected and setup to be flashed by Libero.
In the upper left section of Libero, select the tab "Design Flow" (picture above - lover green rectangle) and flash it to the board via "Program Design > and double left mouse click onto "Run PROGRAM Action" (picture above - row with blue background).
Warnings should not affect the functionality of a Reference / Demo -Design.
Via FlashPro Express
Open "FlashPro Express", to the left, in section "Job Project", click on "Open..." .
In the appearing file dialogue, point to the projects "Programming job file (.pro-file)" and confirm.
The programm windows changes through opening the file. Now click "Refresh/Rescan Programmers", wait untill the scan is finished.
Click "RUN" to programm the module.
When the programming is done, you can close FlashPro Express.
UART connection
Before flashing any Software Project to the module, open a comport terminal to the boards comport, so that it's messages can be captured.
Programming a Software project
Open SoftConsole and press "Browse..." near the right edge. A file dialogue opens, point the dialogue along the extracted download to the folder containing the SoftConsole Workspace.
Disk :\ Path-to-the-demo-archive \ Extracted ZIP-archive \ SC-Workspace \
Confirm your selection by pressing "Ok" , the dialogue closes, and open The SoftConsole by pressing "Launch"
Scroll Title | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
Subsequently the program opens and shows the software project's which are contained inside the workspace. The projects and their files can be accessed in the section "Project Explorer".
Scroll Title | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
To simply run a Project, press the triangle right to the button marked with a "R" in the picture above and select a demo.
Pressing the triangle next to the button marked with "D" let you select which variant to be executed in debug mode.

Applications
Webserver
The demo projects "Webserver_DHCP" and "Webserver_DDR_STATIC" are identical variants of the demo, they only differ in their memory location:
- Webserver_DHCP - Application code is stored to the FPGA's embedded non-volatile memory (eNVM)
- Webserver_DDR_STATIC - Application code is stored to the FPGA's external volatile memory (DDR3 RAM) and lost during power down or reset

Static IP configuration
To change IP and Gateway Address of the project Webserver_DDR_STATIC, open the project in SoftConsole. Open the file main_WebServer_DDR_Static and scroll to line 253. Change the addresses to your needs.

Disengage the DHCP service
To disengaging the DHCP mode one has to setup up an IP and Gateway Address in the code, this is discribed in the chapter above. Alternativly, the demo hosts IP Address can be changed.
Furthermore the corresponding compiler flag needs to be deleted in the project setting. To do so, in the "Project Explorer" tab, right mouse click onto the project and select Properties in the appearing menu.
Scroll Title | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
In the left section of the properties window select "C/C++ Build > Settings" in the right section select the tab "Tool Settings > GNU ARM Cross C Compiler > Preprocessor" under "Defined symbols (-D)" delete the compiler flag "NET_USE_DHCP" and press "Apply". Confirm the following dialogue and press "Cancel".
Lastly, the project needs to be recompiled. In the top menu of the SoftConsole select "Project > Build ALL / Build Project".
Warnings should not affect the demo and can be ignored.
HelloWorld
Hello World example as endless loop. Each loop contains the updated current loop and RTC/system time.
The user LED's are continuously blinking. The user buttons responds with a message at any time.
