A library for JTAG-programming and subsequently interacting with an FPGA over USB using a microcontroller (primarily the Cypress FX2LP). It allows you to: * Load and save Cypress FX2LP firmware * Communicate with the FPGA using HiSpeed USB (~25Mbyte/s) * Reprogram the FPGA using JTAG over USB * Bootstrap an FPGA design standalone using minimal components See http://bit.ly/fpgalnk-api for the API docs. To build, first you need to install the MakeStuff Build Environment (http://bit.ly/makestuff) for your platform, then do: chris@wotan$ cd makestuff/libs chris@wotan$ ../common/msget.sh libfpgalink # or msgit.sh if you want a local git repo chris@wotan$ cd libfpgalink chris@wotan$ make deps *** WINDOWS PREREQUISITES *** * Visual Studio Express 2010 or 2008 * SDCC 2.9.0 (http://bit.ly/k7wyYn) * Xilinx ISE WebPACK (http://bit.ly/bRf82e) *** LINUX PREREQUISITES *** * sudo apt-get install g++ * sudo apt-get install libusb-dev * sudo apt-get install sdcc * Xilinx ISE WebPACK (http://bit.ly/bRf82e) *** MACOS PREREQUISITES *** * XCode (http://bit.ly/apple-connect) * LibUSB (http://bit.ly/libusb-macos) * Wget (http://bit.ly/wget-macos)
