PlutoSDR_FPGA_FW_settings

Introduction

This is a repo for me to record how to update the firmware and adjust the IP for PlutoSDR

Tools and software lists

Hardware

- Lenovo P1 gen 2 with Linux Ubuntu 22.04.03
- ADALM-PLUTO Rev.C 

Software

- Vivado: Version 2021.1
- Matlab: Version 2021a
- Buildroot
- Linaro Binary Toolchain: Version 7.3-2018.05 7.3.1

Preparation

1. Install the GCC tools that is compatible to Buildroot. Linaro GCC Version: 7.3-2018.05 7.3.1 will be used, which can download via Link here.
2. Download gcc-linaro-7.3.1-2018.05-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz and put it into this directory: /opt/
3. uncompress the gcc file with:

    tar -xvJf gcc-linaro-7.3.1-2018.05-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz

4. Jump to the root and set the environment

    cd 
    vim ~/.bashrc

5. add the Path and then source the bashrc file

    export PATH=/opt/gcc-linaro-7.3.1-2018.05-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin:$PATH

6. Build the needed tools for fw update

    sudo apt-get install git build-essential fakeroot libncurses5-dev libssl-dev ccache
    sudo apt-get install dfu-util u-boot-tools device-tree-compiler mtools
    sudo apt install -y git build-essential wget cpio unzip rsync bc libncurses5-dev screen
    sudo apt-get install libmpc-dev
    wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl1.1_1.1.0g-2ubuntu4_amd64.deb
    sudo dpkg -i libssl1.1_1.1.0g-2ubuntu4_amd64.deb

7. Clone the plutosdr-fw repo and set the environment to the Vivado version

    git clone --recursive https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/plutosdr-fw.git
    cd plutosdr-fw
    export VIVADO_SETTINGS=/opt/Xilinx/Vivado/2021.2/settings64.sh

8. Design and integrate the HDL (Optional)
9. Build the project

    make
