Linux Kernel Driver for Lattice MachXO2 programming/debugging
From apertus wiki
1 Project Summary
My task was to make a Linux Kernel Driver to program/debug Lattice MachXO2 FPGAs (used as routing fabrics) in AXIOM Beta Main Board.
Two main goals of this project were:
- To implement an ”upload“ interface to program MachXO2 FPGAs
- To implement a debug interface for OpenOCD
I have yet successfully implemented an upload interface which enables us to upload a compressed bitstream (produced by Lattice Diamond tools) into MachXO2's SRAM. This allows a quick and easy way to upload new configurations while testing.
Google Summer of Code 2020 project.
