I think that this is a super easy question.
I have a Mojo v3, Im using linx and every this is working great with the IDE (Alchitry Labs V1.2.7)
but I wanted to try and use the ISE to program my mojo board. 

I'm stuck on the step where I install the .bit file to the board.  Is there a command line tool to install the program?  Maybe avrdude will do the trick?

I'm trying to get the Quad SPI flash to work with the Microblaze IP. (based on https://www.fpgadeveloper.com/2017/11/ar...ject.html/)

Vivado complains about a pin not being connected namely 'qspi_flash_sck_io'. This pin is connected to E8 but I can not select E8 in the package pin.
All the other qpsi_flash pins (J13, J14, K15, K16, L12) are available but not for the qspi_flash_sck_io...
I assume this has something to do with the fact that all the other pins are of IO/TYPE - HR, while the E8 is of IO/TYPE CONFIG (https://www.xilinx.com/content/dam/xilin...256pkg.txt)

Notice that I'm using the board files provided by seware74 (https://forum.alchitry.com/thread-69.html)

How can I correctly configure the Quad SPI flash?

A question from an FPGA newbie：
I recently bought Alchitry Au broed , I finish the code and also produce the .bin_file in Vivado next I work the alchitry-loader 1.2.7 and alchitry-loader 1.2.5. The bad news is here . I can't detect an Alchitry Au .So who can give me some idea.
Computer version：Win 11

I have been following the Lucid and Verilog tutorials for the AU+ board that I recently bought.

I ran into a bit of an issue with the AU+ and using Vivado. It turns out that the base project that is provided on the website is still set up for compilation for the old Au board which caused me a bit of pain since I didn't notice the difference in the devices in the beginning. Since it seems that AU+ pretty much supersedes the AU, would it be better to update the device within the base project from xc7a35tftg256-1 to xc7a100tftg256-1?

I have changed the device manually and now the code seems to work well. However, I wonder if there are other things I should change within the project to accommodate the device change?

Hi, I am working with getting some UART code running on the Alchitry AU and realized I had a question. Which of the two /dev/ttyUSB? ports is which. In the schematic JTAG seems to be port A and UART on port B, but would that necessarily give the expected result of /dev/ttyUSB0 is the JTAG and /dev/ttyUSB1?

PySerial just labels them both "Alchitry - Au"

Hey all, 
Just picked up a CU, and having some trouble with setup. 


OS: Windows 10
Alchitry Labs Version: 1.27
IceCube2 Version: 2020.12

Steps I have taken: 
-Obtained License file using my only enabled physical mac address. 
-Set Windows environment variable LM_LICENSE_FILE to the location of my licence.dat file
-Installed IceCube2.

-Installed Alchitry Labs, and pointed the settings IceCube2 and IceCube2 license to their respective folders. 

When trying to build the LED to Button project for the CU, I get this error:

Quote:Starting iceCube2...

Bin file (C:\Files\Alchitry\Testing2\work\alchitry_imp\sbt\outputs\bitmap\cu_top_0_bitmap.bin) could not be found! The build probably failed.

Hello

I am new to Lucid programming and i am testing different codes. (even though the build takes time)

I took the alchitry example with serial communication. One letter in and some code to send back the feed to the serial monitor.

In my example, the feedback is in the Always block. So here is the code i wrote in the always block.

always {
    reset_cond.in = ~rst_n; // input raw inverted reset signal
    rst = reset_cond.out;   // conditioned reset
 
    rx.rx = usb_rx;         // connect rx input
    usb_tx = tx.tx;         // connect tx output
 
    tx.new_data = rx.new_data;
    tx.data = rx.data + 1;
    tx.data = rx.data;         
    tx.block = 0;


What i am trying to do is "just" to send back 2 letters to the serial monitor, the original one (the user input) and one with the letter plus one. But i understood that the last line take preference in the always bloc, so the second line gets returned. The question how do i do that, so 2 letters is returned on input - move it out of the always block, but how?.

Next additional question would be the notion of a module, can that in other programming languages be considered as a procedure/function?

Thanks

Henrik

Hi all,

A question from an FPGA newbie: I bought a Cu, installed Alchitry Labs & IceCube2,and configured Labs so it knows where IceCube2 and the license file are located. Plugging in the Cu gives me a short flash of the 'Done' LED; voltage on the test points is 4.7V)

I can building sample projects (HelloWorld, Led to Button) without any errors, same for flashing the Cu, but: no happ flashing LEDs of any kind...

Any hints/tips/...? Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance for any info!

When I try and built the board with Alchirty Lab, I get
alchitry_imp\sbt\outputs\bitmap\cu_top_0_bitmap.bin) could not be found! The build probably failed.

I can go into the directly and run the build command and generate the bin files.  Alchirty still says it cant find them.  I can use the Alchirty Loader to flash it.

Hi admin,
I just wanted to let you know I noticed a typo error in an URL from the Tutorials (Backgrounds) section.
When clicking on 'Addition' you are directed to: https://alchitry.com/additoin... it has to be: https://alchitry.com/addition (the latter works )


Cheers, Jeroen
