I would like to have the first session of the workshop at Revspace, an Saturday 13th of April. There will be space for at most 8 people.
Prerequisites:
- Installed Icestorm toolchain, that supports the Lattice ICE40UP5K FPGA. For instructions [1]
- A micro usb cable
- A working laptop that can run the Icestorm toolchain (Linux or OSX should be fine, for Windows I don't know)
- 4 hours of your time, an Saturday the 13th (There will be some breaks)
- Some basic knowledge about programming
Appreciated:
- Feedback
Provided: (Per person)
- A UPDuino V2 FPGA development board [[2]]
- Breadboard to install the UPDuino on
- DS18B20 temperature sensor
- some dupont wire
- 2x 12k 1x4.7k resistor
Topics: (If I can fit them all in)
- Basic IO
- Modules
- Constraint files
- The clock
- Using simulation
- Module parameters
- Wires registers and variables
- Arrays
- Verilog tasks, functions, if statements, and for loops.
- Building a simple state machine using case statements
Please install the toolchain before showing up
Because the toolchain is pretty big the compiling takes a long time on my core I5 40 minutes, so having a working toolchain installed saves you a lot of frustratingly long waiting.
If the toolchain is already installed, and you would like to know if your toolchain will work with the development UPDuino V2, do the following:
$ arachne-pnr -h
This results in the help being printed, containing a list of the supported devices:
-d <device>, --device <device> Target device <device>. Supported devices: 384 - Lattice Semiconductor iCE40LP384 1k - Lattice Semiconductor iCE40LP/HX1K 5k - Lattice Semiconductor iCE40UP5K lm4k - Lattice Semiconductor iCE40LM4K 8k - Lattice Semiconductor iCE40LP/HX8K Default: 1k
Notice the line '5k - Lattice Semiconductor iCE40UP5K', this tells you that the toolchain is good to go. If not try to find a newer version and install it before the workshop.
