Building AIDA-2020 TLU firmware

These instructions assume that the FPGA carrier board being used is an Enclustra AX3 mounted on a PM3 carrier.

Prerequisites:

• Xilinx Vivado ( 2016.4 , 2017.4 , 2018.1 , 2018.2 , 2018.3 tested )
• Linux installation ( tested on CentOS 7 )
  • Including Python 2.7 and python-virtualenv ( needed for ipbb )

To build firmware:

• Download build script:

 wget https://ohwr.org/project/fmc-mtlu-gw/raw/1e000020/AIDA_tlu/scripts/build_tlu_firmware.sh?inline=false -O build_tlu_firmware.sh

(replace 1e000020 with the tag you want to build , or master if you want to build the master branch )

• Execute build script:

 sh ./build_tlu_firmware.sh 

• The result should be a Gzipped Tar archive ( .tgz file ) containing the bit FPGA configuration file (*.bit) and a copy of the IPBus XML address table
