Building complete Papilio SOC for LogicStart MegaWing

[Jack Gassett]

Ok,

 

So I reworked the Papilio SOC library so we could build an entire SOC for the LogicStart MegaWing. I ran into a roadblock with getting GPIO to work with modified ucf files, it was really cumbersome and put a lot of burden on someone who is just starting out with FPGA's. I thought about it a couple days and came up with a way where you can just swap out a symbol for whatever type of hardware you have connected to the Papilio. Here is a video of the reworked system in action!

 

 

I think this is all coming together nicely and the next steps are to come up with an appropriate name and start writing Arduino libraries and writing an ebook. I'm thinking I will start the ebook and work on one chapter at a time, each chapter will correspond to a peripheral core and I will work on the library for that core as I write the chapter.

 

I can use some feedback for what to call this. Initially I thought it would be Papilio SOC but I worry that casual users, who are the target for this system, won't be familiar with the term System on Chip. So I'm thinking along the lines of:

• DrawDuino
• Draw-a-duino
• DrawADuino

 

Any thoughts or better names?

 

 

The code for the system as it stands is on github.

I would guess casual users who use papilio and this tool could use to learn the term SoC, isn't it quite a normal term for this today?

[Felix]

i was thinking Papilio Blocks or something similar. 

[hamster]

Stick with the butterfly metaphor / brand. It works.

 

Papilio Chrysalis

-----------------------------------

Engineer your own custom CPU

 

Or something equally dramatic :-)

[mubase]

"Papilio-Schematica-duino" ?

Schematicart-duino" ?

 

Papilio Scheme n sculpt (lol)

 

.....

[Rob]

SketchDuino!

 

 

OTOH, I might be delirious still, that flu was rough!

[brianv]

+1 for Papilio blocks.

 

This name actually tells you something about the function of the tool, rather than tacking the "duino" moniker on yet another product.  

[Jack Gassett]

Thank you all for the feedback on the name. Will keep mulling it over.

 

Jack.

I have downloaded the SoC project, was able to modify the schematic and add uart to wb slot 5.  Created a bit file loaded it to the Papilio One(500).

 

Using Zpuino Arduino 0100-Z-windows created simple blink test sketch. Select the correct com port, Board=ZPUnio on Papilio One(500), click on upload.

 

Get initial message: Binary sketch size: 732 bytes (of a 27648 byte maximum). And Hangs.... let it sit there for 15 minutes. 

 

So I take a step back and started to replicate the example here and I pull the header files from github and I get these errors when verifying the sketch

Any thoughts?

 

[Jack Gassett]

Ah, sorry, this is a work in progress. It looks like the VGAZX libraries are not included with the ZPUino IDE release. Here is a zip file for the entire sketch including the libraries.

Jack,

No worries, that compiled... I have tried several things here, and I ultimately think this is a problem with the zpuino ide... I downloaded the zpuino bit file and loaded it to the board, and tried uploading a blink test and same issue the ide just hangs. Reading some other posts I even tried arduino-0102-windows same issue. 

 

this is all that happens

 

The settings I have:

Board=ZPUino on PapilioOne(500)

Com=Com7(USB Serial Converter A)

[Jack Gassett]

Ah, this is an indication that the ZPUino is not responding properly.

 

Have you loaded the ZPUino bit file you created to SPI Flash? That is the most likely culprit here...

 

If that does not do the trick then start with a known good bit file. Attached is one that I had in my folder for the base Papilio SOC system.

Jack, 

I did write to SPI Flash. So I downloaded your bit file, loaded it and tried to load the sketch and still the same result.

[Jack Gassett]

Ahhhhh, I should have noticed this before, you are using the first serial port which is used for JTAG programming of the FPGA:

Com=Com7(USB Serial Converter A)

 

The ZPUino uses the second serial port in order to upload its code. So change to the second com port:

Com=Com8(USB Serial Converter B )

 

I think that will solve your problem.

 

Jack.
