Introduction
On APF6_SP PCI express bus is used to configure the FPGA (cycloneV). This article describe how to do that.
Generate files
Quartus configuration
Your design must include the PCIe and CvP components. Once the project synthesized, open the menu:
File -> Convert Programming Files ...
- In Output programming file select the programming file type: Raw Binary File (.rbf).
- In Input files to convert clic on Add Files... and add your binary.sof file.
- In Output programming file check the option Create CvP files (Generate binary.periph.rbf and binary.core.rbf)
- Click on Generate
You will get two files:
- binary.periph.rbf: peripheral config file to be loaded via serial config bus with U-Boot
- binary.core.rbf: core config file to be loaded via PCIe bus with Linux.
Linux configuration
All drivers are already selected by default in APF6's Buildroot configuration.
Configure the FPGA
Peripheral configuration in uboot
PCIe must be activated before Linux boot. To do that, just load the peripheral bitstream with uboot :
BIOS> tftpboot ${loadaddr} 192.168.0.117:binary.periph.rbf BIOS> fpga load 0 ${loadaddr} ${filesize}
Then boot Linux:
BIOS> boot
Core configuration in Linux
The PCIe device must be seen in lspci command in Linux :
# lspci 00:00.0 PCI bridge: Device 16c3:abcd (rev 01) 01:00.0 Unclassified device [0013]: Altera Corporation Device e001 (rev 01)
You can then download the core (192.168.0.2 should be replaced with your Host PC IP address):
$ tftp -g -r binary.core.rbf 192.168.0.2 $ load_fpga output_file.core.rbf Altera CvP 0000:01:00.0: Now starting CvP... Altera CvP 0000:01:00.0: CvP successful, application layer now ready
