fpga config over uart

FILES: fpga-config-mcu

Parameters

• -p <serialPort> : Specifiy the serial port to use
• -n <bitFileNum> : Specifiy the position the bitfile should be saved
• -b <binFile> : Path to the bitfile
• -s <bitFileNum> : Start config of the specified bitfile
• -r : Read the bitfile headers stored in flash
• -v : Verbose mode, i.e. display all information
• -l : List the available serial ports
• -h : Display this help

Examples

• Write the bit file "test-compressed.rbf" to position 1:
  Mac: python fpga-config-over-uart.py -p /dev/cu.usbserial-A800JCSE -n 1 -b test-compressed.rbf
  Windows: python fpga-config-over-uart.py -p COM3 -n 1 -b test-compressed.rbf

• Write the bit file "test-uncompressed.rbf" to position 2:
  Mac: python fpga-config-over-uart.py -p /dev/cu.usbserial-A800JCSE -n 2 -b test-uncompressed.rbf
  Windows: python fpga-config-over-uart.py -p COM3 -n 2 -b test-uncompressed.rbf

• Start configuration using bit file at position 1:
  Mac: python fpga-config-over-uart.py -p /dev/cu.usbserial-A800JCSE -s 1
  Windows: python fpga-config-over-uart.py -p COM3 -s 1

• Start configuration using bit file at position 2:
  Mac: python fpga-config-over-uart.py -p /dev/cu.usbserial-A800JCSE -s 2
  Windows: python fpga-config-over-uart.py -p COM3 -s 2

• Read the bitfile headers:
  Mac: python fpga-config-over-uart.py -p /dev/cu.usbserial-A800JCSE -r
  Windows: python fpga-config-over-uart.py -p COM3 -r

• List available serial ports:
  Mac/Windows: python fpga-config-over-uart.py -l

• Display the help:
  Mac/Windows: python fpga-config-over-uart.py -h
