Install of Vivado

Download Vivado from Xilinx Downloads

make the installer executable, and run it as following example

cd ~/Downloads
chmod +x Xilinx_Vivado_SDK_Web_2018.2_0614_1954_Lin64.bin
sudo ./Xilinx_Vivado_SDK_Web_2018.2_0614_1954_Lin64.bin

When installation is completed, add the following to the ~ /.bachrc file.

Download of template of constraint file of FPGA.

We need a constraint file that define mapping our configuration of FPGA circuite to the port of FPGA chip. We can get the template of it from GitHub of Digilent. Download Nexys-4-DDR-Master.xdc file.

Creating project for Chisel

There is a starter template for Chisel programing on GitHub. We clone and modify.

mkdir ~/ChiselProjects
cd ~/ChiselProjects
git clone https://github.com/ucb-bar/chisel-template.git LightLED
cd LightLED
