Notes : Basic Design Steps Add/ Remove project specific description reference design or Demo? Board config file?

The reference design The Webserver demo design is available as a prebuild zip archive, which contains a Libero hardware project folder, a SoftConsole Workspace with the 2 variants of the demo and the board configuration file "microsemi-smartfusion2-smartberry-ddr.cfg". It was created and tested in windows environment.Move the board configuratiion file to ... .

Board configuration file

Copy the board file:
board-file = configuration file "microsemi-smartfusion2-smartberry-ddr.cfg" along the following default installation path inside you Microsemi / SoftConsole installation into the folder board:

C:\Microsemi\SoftConsole_v5v6.12\openocd\share\openocd\scripts\board\board-file

Connecting

UPDATE HW-Design path / NAME - Disk:\Path-to-the-Demo_archive\Smartberry_Webserver_Libero-12.4\ CHECK SW-Design path / NAME - Disk:\Path-to-the-Demo_archive\Softconsole-6.2-Workspace\

Running this demonstration requires a USB and a Ethernet connection to the module. Programming the demo into the module is a three fold process, programming the FPGA Design, establishing a COM-port terminal connection to the module and programming the web server program code into the modules FPGA's embedded flash or it's external DDR memory.

Connecting

Connect the modules micro USB connector to your host pc.USB and Ethernet

Connect the boards Ethernet port to either your demo host computer, via it's second Ethernet port or a USB to Ethernet bridge, or to a free router port inside your local network. The demo is configured to establish a network connection via the DHCP protocol, therefore, if a a free router / network port can be used.A direct port to port connection between the demo host computer and the board is also possible but requires to reconfigure the software projectport is used, no further port setup is required.
If a "direct connection" via bridge or host pc port is used, the ports IP of pc and module must match, more about this is explained further down in this chapter.

Driver check

Connect When the board module is connected via USB cable to your demo host computer. Check , in the Windows Device Manager appear the appearance of the following tree board driver related devices:

...

Open Libero 12.4, in the to left corner, open the demo Webserver Demo hardware project inside the extracted ZIP download via   "Project > Open Project" and point the file dialogue to the demo archives hardware project:

Disk:\Path_-to_-the_-Demo_archive\Smartberry_Webserver_Libero-12.4\

, double left mouse click onto the project file "Smartberry_Webserver.prjx" to open it.

...

Warnings should not affect the demoWebserver Demo.

The hardware design is volatile and therefore lost when powering down the board.

UART connection

Before flashing the demoWebserver Demo server application to the module, open a comport terminal to the boards comport, so that its it's messages about the used IP Address and executed Demo-Variant can be captured.

...

Programming Software project

Open SoftConsole 6.2 and press "Browse..." to point the "Workspace: " to the folder "SmartberrySoftconsolefolder "Softconsole-6.2-Workspace" inside the demo folder.

Disk:\Path-to-the-Demo_archive\Softconsole-6.2" inside the demo folder.-Workspace\

Subsequently the program opens .

The demo is offered in two variants:

• Smartberry_Webserver_

...

• 6.2

...

• - Application code is stored to the FPGA's embedded non-volatile memory (eNVM)

...

• Smartberry_Webserver_DDR_6.2 - Application code is stored to the FPGA's external volatile memory (DDR3/L SDRAM) and lost during power down

...

Before flashing the demo, open a comport terminal to the boards comport, so that its messages about the used IP Address and executed Demo-Variant can be captured.

To simply run the demo press the triangle right to the button marked with a "R" in the picture above and select a variant of the demo.
