Several demos showing how to use the icestorm
toolchain with the
Upduino (ice40 UltraPlus 5k) FPGA dev board.
Demo | Description |
---|---|
blink |
Flash the RED LED in a pulse-pulse, pulse-pulse pattern |
pulse |
Smoothly ramp the RGB LED through a color change pattern |
serial |
Print a repeating message on the serial port at 3 Mbs |
seral-echo |
Read from the serial port, echo it back at 3 Mbs |
spram-demo |
Read from the serial port, buffer in SPRAM, echo it slowly |
To flash them, run sudo make blink.flash
.
You will probably need to be root to flash the board and restore the
/dev/ttyUSB0
device driver after iceprog
switches it into SIO mode.
Schematics for the upduino: https://github.com/gtjennings1/UPDuino_v2_0
Note that the upduino_v2.pcf
file disagrees with the serial port in
the pinout and schematic. The pins were determined through experimentation
and seem to work (and the ones in the pinout do not).
