    • Basic Design Steps

    • Add/ Remove project specific description


    Note

    Reference Design is available with and without prebuilt files. It's recommended to use TE prebuilt files for first launch.

    Trenz Electronic provides a tcl based built environment based on Quartus Design Flow.

    See also:


    The Trenz Electronic FPGA Reference Designs are TCL-script based projects. To create a project, open a project or program a device execute "create_project_win.cmd" on Windows OS and "create_project_linux.sh" on Linux OS.

    TE Scripts are only needed to generate the quartus project, all other additional steps are optional and can also executed by Intel Quartus/SDK GUI. For currently Scripts limitations on Win OS and Linux OS see: Project Delivery - Intel devices → Currently limitations of functionality

    1. Open create_project_win.cmd/create_project_linux.sh:
    2. Select Board in "Board selection"
    3. Click on "Create project" button to create project
      1. (optional for manual changes) Select correct quartus installation path in "<project folder>/settings/design_basic_settings.tcl"

    Note

    Reference Design is also available with prebuilt files. It's recommended to use TE prebuilt files for first launch.

    1. Run create_project_win.cmd/create_project_linux.sh
    2. Select Module in 'Board selection'
    3. Click on 'Export prebuilt files' button
      1. Folder <project folder>/_binaries_<Article Name> with subfolder boot_linux will be generated and opened

    Configuration Flash

    1. Connect the Module to USB-Port
    2. Open create_project_win.cmd/create_project_linux.sh
    3. Select correct board in "Board selection"
    4. Click on "Program device" button
      1. if prebuilt files are available: select "Program prebuilt file"
      2. using own generated programming file: select "Program other file" and click on "Browse ..." to open own generated programming file
      3. (optional) click on "Open programmer GUI" to program device with Quartus programmer GUI
    5. Click on "Start program device" button

    JTAG

    Not used on this example.

    Usage

    1. Prepare Hardware like described on section Programming
    2. Connect UART USB (most cases same as JTAG)

    UART

    1. Open Serial Console (e.g. PuTTY)
      1. select COM Port

        Info

        Win OS: see device manager

        Linux OS: see  dmesg | grep tty  Linux OS: see ls -l dev/serial/by-id  (UART is *USB1)


      2. Speed: 115200
    2. Press reset button
    3. Console output depends on used Software project, see Software Design - SDK#Application
