MiniSpartan6:...
MiniSpartan6: added ftdi chip config to switch between UART and Async FIFO. added few WIP designs with either spwlight core, FIFO_deom IP... Libs: added SpaceWire Light IP (Works really well!) started design of ahb_ftdi_fifo -> same protocol than AHBUART but over FTDI's Async FIFO interface. This might lead to much faster transfers UP to 12MB/s.

This LEON3 design is tailored to the Scarab Hardware MiniSpartan6+ board.

Simulation and synthesis

This design tries to use as much as possible free (as in freedom) tools and at least free (as in free beer) when impossible.

Note that the simulation doesn't work as expected yet.

To build the design:

make ise

To load into FPGA RAM:

make load-ram

To load into FPGA Flash:

make load-flash

Design specifics

  • The AHB and processor is clocked from the 50 MHz clock.

  • The SDRAM is working with the sdctrl16 memory controller taken from leon3-altera-de2-ep2c35 design.

  • The UART DSU interface ie enabled and connected to interface B of ft2232H chip. Start GRMON with -uart /dev/ttyUSB1

  • Output from GRMON2 should look similar to this:
