Welcome to the Hermes-Lite wiki!

Bringing up Steve's board using Ubuntu 14.04:

  • Download and install Quartus II Web addition.
  • Set up the ByteBlaster USB permissions as described here.
  • In the terminal do $ sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
  • Go to the quartus/bin/ directory and start quartus with $ ./quartus
  • Go to the Tools-> Programmer menu and start the programmer.
  • Select the Hardware button, and the USB ByteBlaster in the window that pops up.
  • Select the AutoDetect button and then you should be able to select the EP4CE22F17.

If you have difficulty in that you can't scan the bus try $ ./jtagconfig -d to see what the issue might be.

  • Open the project in the rtl folder of Steve's rtl code.
  • Compile the project. (It takes a few minutes.)
  • Go to Tools-> Programmer and hit Start with the Hermes_Lite.sof file highlighted to program and configure the BeMicro SDK.
