Arty FPGA Dev Kit

Contents

Hardware

Platform :ref:`platform_sifive`: SiFive brings the power of open source and software automation to the semiconductor industry, making it possible to develop new hardware faster and more affordably than ever before.

Microcontroller FE310
Frequency 450MHz
Flash 16MB
RAM 256MB
Vendor Xilinx

Configuration

Please use e310-arty ID for :ref:`projectconf_env_board` option in :ref:`projectconf`:

[env:e310-arty]
platform = sifive
board = e310-arty

You can override default Arty FPGA Dev Kit settings per build environment using board_*** option, where *** is a JSON object path from board manifest e310-arty.json. For example, board_build.mcu, board_build.f_cpu, etc.

[env:e310-arty]
platform = sifive
board = e310-arty

; change microcontroller
board_build.mcu = fe310

; change MCU frequency
board_build.f_cpu = 450000000L

Uploading

Arty FPGA Dev Kit supports the following uploading protocols:

  • ftdi
  • jlink
  • minimodule
  • olimex-arm-usb-ocd
  • olimex-arm-usb-ocd-h
  • olimex-arm-usb-tiny-h
  • olimex-jtag-tiny
  • tumpa

Default protocol is ftdi

You can change upload protocol using :ref:`projectconf_upload_protocol` option:

[env:e310-arty]
platform = sifive
board = e310-arty

upload_protocol = ftdi

Debugging

:ref:`piodebug` - "1-click" solution for debugging with a zero configuration.

Warning

You will need to install debug tool drivers depending on your system. Please click on compatible debug tool below for the further instructions and configuration information.

You can switch between debugging :ref:`debugging_tools` using :ref:`projectconf_debug_tool` option in :ref:`projectconf`.

Arty FPGA Dev Kit has on-board debug probe and IS READY for debugging. You don't need to use/buy external debug probe.
