Start MaxIDE

Yannick Goumaz edited this page Jan 27, 2022 · 12 revisions

MaxIDE is the Maxeler development environment. It is based on the Eclipse platform. It allows to easily program DFE applications, build and run them.

To start MaxIDE and build DFE applications, a few modules are necessary:

  • GCC
  • vivado/2017.4
  • maxcompiler/2018.3.1
  • maxide/2.0

They can be loaded using the following command: module load GCC vivado/2017.4 maxcompiler/2018.3.1 maxide/2.0 on the jumax machine. These are essential modules so it is recommended to load them at the start of a session by adding the following line to the ~/.bash_profile file: module load GCC vivado/2017.4 maxcompiler/2018.3.1 maxide/2.0.
WARNING: GCC module loading may have already been added at step 6 of the following tutorial: Compile Webots on Jumax

Finally to launch MaxIDE, execute maxide on the jumax machine.

For more information on how a DFE application should be programmed, see the following page: Basics of DFE Applications
For more information on how to build and run an accelerated application using MaxCompiler on MaxIDE, see the following page: Run DFE Applications With MaxIDE
