## Synthesis on Xilinx FPGAs using Vivado
|
||||
|
||||
- Install Vivado (I'm using the free 2019.1 webpack edition).
|
||||
|
||||
- Setup Vivado paths:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
source /opt/Xilinx/Vivado/2019.1/settings64.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- Install FuseSoC:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
pip3 install --user -U fusesoc
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- Create a working directory and point FuseSoC at microwatt:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
mkdir microwatt-fusesoc
|
||||
cd microwatt-fusesoc
|
||||
fusesoc library add microwatt /path/to/microwatt/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- Build using FuseSoC. For hello world (Replace nexys_video with your FPGA board):
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
fusesoc run --target=nexys_video microwatt --memory_size=8192 --ram_init_file=/path/to/microwatt/fpga/hello_world.hex
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- To build micropython (currently requires 1MB of BRAM eg an Artix-7 A200):
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
fusesoc run --target=nexys_video microwatt
|
||||
```
