WARNING... This project is currently incompatible with the official XRT drivers. You must unload the XRT drivers before programming the device, otherwise, your system may hang.

# blacklist kernel modules
sudo sh -c "echo 'blacklist xclmgmt\nblacklist xocl' > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-xrt.conf"
# remove currently loaded modules

Blinky Build Instructions (Linux)

We must first set up the environment.

source /tools/Xilinx/Vivado/2021.2/settings64.sh

Set up the repository.

git clone https://github.com/Quarky93/warpshell.git
cd warpshell
mkdir build
cd build

Build blinky.

vivado -mode batch -source ../hw/scripts/varium_c1100_blinky.tcl

A bitstream file is generated:

blinky.bit

Program the device using Vivado hardware manager.

Shell Build Instructions

Same as blinky, find the relevant script in:

warpshell/hw/scripts

We must also build and install the XDMA drivers: Follow the instructions here.

Currently all shell versions are in active development and is not generally usable.

Customize the Shell

Generate a Vivado project:

cd build
vivado -mode batch -source ../hw/scripts/varium_c1100_xdma_gen4_x1_custom.tcl

A project will be generated in the build directory, open this with Vivado.
