4 1. Contents of the reference project Synaptic Labs' Boot from On-chip Flash Reference design projects includes the following files and directories: The root folder of the reference project contains the Quartus Prime and Qsys project files for the first reference project. The ip folder contains S/Labs HBMC encrypted IP and License Key. The software folder is used as the workspace folder for Eclipse The source folder contains sample code that can replace the simple hello_world.c application found. Note: Synaptic Labs' Tiny System Cache (CMS-T003) IP can ONLY be simulated with Altera's Modelsim Simulator. Please contact Synaptic Labs for a simulation model if required. page 4
5 2. Open the reference Quartus Project In the menu bar of Quartus Prime, select File Open Project Select the file NIOS_example.qpf in the project directory Click the [ Open ] button. 3. Open the reference Qsys project In the menu bar of Quartus Prime, select Tools Platform Designer Select the file hypernios.qsys in the project directory Click the [ Open ] button. page 5
6 4. Explore and configuring the reference Qsys project Components employed in the reference project The reference Qsys project in this tutorial employs a NiosII/f processor, Synaptic Labs' Tiny System (CMS-T003) IP, Intel s On-chip Memory module to store data in on chip SRAM, Intel s User Flash Memory Controller and various peripherals such as Altera s JTAG UART and timer modules as illustrated below. All these Qsys components are connected together. page 6
7 2 4.2 Nios II/f processor configuration In this example, the Nios II/f Reset Vector is mapped to the MAX 10 On-chip Flash memory. The Nios II/F Exception vectors is mapped to the on-chip_memory as illustrated below. This means that the Nios II/f processor will look for the boot code in the On-chip Flash memory while the exception handling / interrupt code in the on-chip_memory module. As illustrated below, the instruction cache of the Nios II/f core is set to 4Kbytes in size while the data cache have been set to 2Kbytes in size to accelerate software performance. The instruction and data caches have both been configured with their burstcount signal disabled to reduce resource usage. page 7
8 3 4.3 Configuring S/Labs Tiny System Cache Synaptic Labs' Tiny System Cache has been pre-configured in this reference project. In the Port and Conduit configuration tab : Set the Enable read-only code target port [x] (this will generate a read only Avalon port iavs_code to be connected t Nios II instruction master) Set the Enable read-write data target port [x] (this will generate a read-write Avalon port iavs_data to be connected t Nios II data master) In the Arbitration Scheme configuration tab : Set the Arbitration mode to [True artbitration mode] (Use the Nios II/e arbitration only with the Nios II/e processor. For the Nios II/f processor, use the True Arbitration mode). In the Cache configuration tab, the main cache parameters are configured as : Total cache line storage capacity is set to 1 kilobytes. (This is the size of the cache) Storage partition scheme is set to Unified code and data partition. (This is the partition mode of the cache. Depending on the application, different parameters might offer better software acceleration.) Cache associativity is set to Direct Mapped. (The other option is to select a set associative cache). page 8
9 Cache line width in words is set to 8 (this will set the number of words to be fetched from memory for every cache miss occurance). This has to match the maximum burst size selected in Intel on-chip flash memory controller. No other parameters needs to be changed. More info about how to configure S/Labs Tiny System Cache can be found in document SynapticLabs-TinySystemCache-CA-CMS-T003-tutorial.pdf. This document can be found in the ip bundle. page 9
10 4 4.4 Configuration of Altera s On-Chip Memory In this reference project, Altera's On-Chip Memory is configured as a 40 Kilobyte single port RAM. There is no need to setup this memory to be initialized by the Nios II SBT for Eclipse Please ensure that: [ ] Initialize memory content is UnTicked [ ] Enable non-default initialization file is UnTicked [] User created initialization file is left empty page 10
11 5 4.5 Configuration of Altera s On-chip Flash Memory (UFM) controller. In Altera On-chip Flash IP parameter editor, set the Data Interface to Parallel set the Read Burst Mode to Incrementing. set the Read Burst Count to 8 set the Configuration Mode to Single Uncompressed Image. Make sure the Initialize flash content option is left unchecked. Initializing the on-chip flash during device programming feature is currently not supported. page 11
12 5. Generating the Qsys Design Once the Qsys project has been correctly configured, press the [ Generate HDL ] button on the bottom right hand side of the Qsys window. In the Synthesis section, set the Create HDL design files for synthesis field to Verilog. In the Simulation section, set the Create simulation model field to None. Then click on the [ Generate ] button. You may see a Save System window. Click the [ Close ] button to close the save window. Generating the.qsys project updates the.sopc file which will be used by the Nios II Software Build Tools (SBT) environment. Click the [ Close ] button to close the generate window. You may want to close the Qsys window. page 12
13 6. Synthesize and assemble the Design Go to the Quartus Prime window. In Quartus II software, click on Assignment -> Device -> Device and Pin Options -> Configuration. Set Configuration mode: to Single Uncompressed Image. In the menu bar, select: Processing Start Compilation The assembler step will create the SRAM FPGA Bitstream file (.SOF). page 13
14 7. Preparing the firmware Open the NIOS II Software Built Tools for Eclipse In Quartus Prime, go to the menu bar and select Tools NIOS II Software Built Tools for Eclipse. MAX10_HyperNios_Project/software HyperNios_EPCQ_Project_C10LP/software Boot_from_onchipFlash_Project/software Click the [Browse ] button. A new file selector window will open. In this tutorial we are going to select the software folder located inside the project folder as the workspace and then click the [ OK ] button. Be sure to leave the [ ] Use this as the default field unticked. Click the [ OK ] button. page 14
15 2 7.2 Create a simple application and BSP The software folder in the reference project is empty. This is because problems can be experienced when moving the Eclipse Workshop folder between Windows and Linux Systems. We need to create a Nios II application, and Nios II board support package for that Nios II application: In the Eclipse window, go the menu bar and select: File New NIOS II Application and BSP from Template A new window will pop up: (most of the fields below will initially be empty) page 15
16 In the Target hardware information, click on the [ ] button A file browser window will open. Locate and select the hypernios.sopcinfo file generated by Qsys and stored in the project directory. Click [Open]. hypernios.sopcinfo It may take around 30 seconds for the Eclipse application to parse the.sopcinfo file. Select a Project name. In this example, we are using HelloWorld as the project name. Ensure that: [x] Use default location is ticked. We now need to select a template from the Project Template list. In this example, select the Hello World template. Press the [ Finish ] button to complete the current step. The Nios II SBT will now generate: a HelloWorld application folder that contains the hello_world.c file. We will replace that hello_world.c file with a custom program that later in this tutorial. a HelloWorld_bsp folder that contains the Nios II Board Support Package (BSP) hardware abstraction layer (HAL). page 16
17 3 7.3 Configure the Board Support Package (BSP) The Nios II BSP must be configured before we can compile the source code. In the Project Explorer tab, right click on: HelloWorld_bsp Nios II -> BSP Editor... page 17
18 In the Main Tab of the BSP editor, in the panel on the left hand side, select: Settings Common Set the sys_clk_timer field to timer_0 This is used to generate a recurring system clock interrupt for the hardware abstraction layer. Set the timestamp_timer field to interval_timer This field is used to enable the hardware abstraction layer to perform fine precision timing. The Newlib ANSI C standard library can be configured as small or normal Generally, when mapping code and data to on-chip memory: Tick the [x] Enable small C library field to reduce the size of the executable code generated by the hardware abstraction layer (HAL). Ticking this option also reduces the functionality and performance of the HAL. Please note that the inbuilt memset() and memcpy() routines will be very slow. Generally, when mapping code to On-chip Flash: Untick the [ ] Enable small C library field to increase the functionality and performance of the executable code generated by the hardware abstraction layer (HAL). The inbuilt memset() and memcpy() routines will achieve good performance. However, the executable code will be considerably larger. We recommend UnTick the [ ] Enable small C library for this specific tutorial. page 18
19 In the Main Tab of the BSP editor, in the panel on the left hand side, select: Settings Advanced hal.linker For the purpose of this tutorial, the following configuration will generally work: Tick [x] allow_code_at_reset Tick [x] enable_alt_load Tick [x] enable_alt_load_copy_rodata Tick [x] enable_alt_load_copy_rwdata Tick [x] enable_alt_load_copy_exception UnTick [ ] enable_exception_stack However, this specific configuration may not be the best configuration for your project s needs. Please refer to Altera s documentation for detailed information on how to setup the hal.linker fields: Generic Nios II Booting Methods User Guide, UG-20001, page 19
20 Select the Linker Script Tab of the BSP editor. For this tutorial example, we are going to: Map the reset vector (.reset) to the On-chip Flash memory (onchip_flash_0_data). This is generated by Qsys and depends on the location of the Nios II reset vector. Map the exception vector (.exceptions) to the on-chip memory (onchip_memory2_0). This is generated by Qsys and depends on the location of the Nios II exception vector. Map the instruction code (.text) in the On-chip Flash memory (onchip_flash_0_data) Map all other data regions (.bss,.heap,.rodata,.rwdata,.stack) to the on-chip memory (onchip_memory2_0) ) This will map all memory regions generated by the GCC tools to the respective memory regions. For more information see: Nios II Gen2 Software Developer's Handbook, NII5V2Gen2, Section 5, Nios II Software Build Tools Now: Click on the [ Exit ] button on the bottom right hand corner of the BSP Editor window. Then click on the [Yes, Save] button on the Save Changes window to save the BSP settings. page 20
21 4 7.4 Generate the BSP and clean the project The software developer must re-generate the BSP every time the Qsys project is regenerated. This ensures that the device drivers and addresses of peripherals are reflected correctly in the hardware abstract library. To (re)generate the BSP: Go to the Nios II eclipse window. Right click on HelloWorld_bsp project then select Nios II then select Generate BSP. Right click on the HelloWorld_bsp project then select Clean Project to delete any intermediate files generated by the gcc compiler for this application library. Right click on the HelloWorld project then select Clean Project to delete any intermediate files generated by the gcc compiler for this application folder Build the Nios II Application We now want to run the compiler and linker: Go to the Nios II eclipse window. Go to the menu bar and select: Project ->Build All If the project produces warning / error messages, you may need to build the project twice. The HelloWorld executable firmware (.ELF) is now generated. However, the.elf file cannot be programmed directly into the On-chip Flash memory. To do that, we need to convert the.elf file into one or more memory initialization files. page 21
22 6 7.7 Generate memory initialization files If we want to embed the firmware into the EPCQ memory, we need to generate memory initialisation.hex files from the.elf file. In the Project Explorer tab, right click on: HelloWorld -> Make Targets Build A Make Targets window will open. Select mem_init_generate and click on the Build button. New hex files will be generated. These files will be located in Project_dir Software HelloWorld mem_init The file onchip_flash_0.hex can be programmed into the On-chip Flash memory as described in the next section. page 22
23 8. Program the firmware into the On-chip Flash memory device Now we need to convert the hex file generated by the Eclipse toolkit into a format that can be used by the Quartus programmer Generating.pof Programming Files in the Quartus II Software In Quartus Prime, open the Convert Programming files utility. Quartus Prime File Convert Programming files. A new window will open. The following parameters need to be set: Programming File type to pof Mode to Internal Configuration File name to onchip_flash_helloworld.pof page 23
24 Click on Options/Boot info..., the MAX 10 Device Options dialog box appears. Choose Load memory file for UFM source: option. Browse to the generated Altera On-chip Flash HEX file (onchip_flash_0.hex) in the File path:. Click OK. page 24
25 In the Input files to convert section, Select the SOF Data and click on the Add File Tab (a new window will open). Select the.sof file Hello_example.sof previously generated by Quartus. This is located in Project_dir/output directory. Press the generate button. A new file (onchip_flash_helloworld.pof) will be generated. page 25
26 8.2 Programming the FPGA Bitstream and Firmware on the On-chip Flash using the Quartus II Programmer and.pof Files To program the on-chip flash configuration devices with.pof file, you must perform the following steps: 1. When the.pof file conversion is complete, add the.pof file to the Quartus II programmer window Connect the MAX 10 Evaluation kit to the USB port of your computer In the Tools menu, choose Programmer The Chain1.cdf dialog box appears. If any programming file has been automatically loaded, use the Delete button to remove it. Make sure there is no programming file present inside the dialog box. Click Add File In the Select Programming File dialog box, browse to the.pof file. Click Open page 26
27 Program the on-chip flsh device by turning on the corresponding Program/Configure box, click Start The firmware is now programmed to the On-chip Flash memory Close the Programmer page 27
28 10. Run the nios2-terminal application Once programmed, the software firmware will start executing on power up. To see any messages from the JTAG uart, follow these steps : In Linux: Open a Linux command shell / terminal In Windows: Run the Nios II Command Shell application from the Windows start menu. Run the nios2-terminal command from the terminal. Messages similar to the one below should be displayed in the command shell. page 28
