• User cannot build the firmware on RedHawk machine because Vivado doesn't support the RedHawk machine distro.
• User can just build it on Ubuntu then use the python script to program the generated .MCS file. To do that pleaseAD follow following steps:
  • Step 1: Go to Ubuntu server and build the firmware. For more information on how to build the firmware of your project please follow the link given in Related articles.
  • Step 2: Once the FPGA programming files are ready. Copy those files to RedHawk machine by using following command.
    • scp -r /cds/home/a/adave/mount-point rdsrv310.slac.stanford.edu:/u/gu/adave/Project/snl-dave/firmware/targets/SnlBesKcu1500/images
      
    • Here the FPGA image files from rdsrv310 are being copied and pasted on RedHawk machine's mount-point dir.

How to reprogram the PCIe firmware via Rogue software

• Step 1: To setup the rogue environment please follow the following command.

  • pskube-minion03 ~$ bash
    bash-4.2$ source ~ruckman/anaconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh
    bash-4.2$ conda activate rogue_v5.15.3
    (rogue_v5.15.3) bash-4.2$

  • This will activate the conda rogue enviroment
• Step 2: Go to software folder by typing following command.

  • cd user_project/software
    

• Step 3: Run the PCIe firmware update script

  • $ python scripts/updatePcieFpga.py --path <PATH_TO_IMAGE_DIR>

    where <PATH_TO_IMAGE_DIR> is path to image directory (example: ../firmware/targets/SnlBesKcu1500/images/)

    Select image number when following message is shown:

• Step 4:  Reboot the RedHawk machineReboot the RedHawk machine by typing following command

  • sudo reboot

• Step 5: ssh to RedHawk from "pslogin": "ssh psstuart"
• Step 6: Reload the driver by following stes:

  • $ sudo /u1/aes-stream-drivers/data_dev/driver/load
    $ cat /proc/datadev_0
