New ContributorI'm very interested to learn from your example but there is a problem during download because i received this:
– 1 attachment contains a virus or blocked file. Downloading this attachment is disabled.
Is there another way I can get your exaple.
ContributorWhich file did you try to download. I downloaded the project zip file in opera without any error. May be you can try it with different browser.
New ContributorThank you jozephka99 for your response.
I tried to download "manual_rsu (with console and for 10m08).zip" with microsoft Edge browser, which is the only browser I'm allowed to use. After I received the above mentioned message I used my iphone and succeeded to download the file. Then I tried to send the unzipped files to the my work PC and found out that the problem was the VHD files. I changed the type of files to TXT and finally succeded to send all the files to my work.
I have already opened the project in quartus and I'm ready for the next phase.
I have no idea how to communicate with the module from my PC. What should I see on the display and what commands should I enter in order to start the configuration process.
Can you, please, assist me on the process of configuration.
Thank you very much for your time.
ContributorFirst what fpga module do you use?
You should set your fpga's 2 pins as rx/tx pins of uart (in pin planner) which they are named in project as uart_tx/uart_rx.
Then I don't know which OS do you use in your PC but you have to install a serial communication program like realterm.
Then you should be connect the fpga to PC with a "USB to UART TTL Serial Converter" over these 2 uart pins at baud rate 57600 (you can change it from code).
When fpga starts you should see the messages coming from the device. It says "UFM CONTROLLER
write(0), read(1), erase(2), burst read(3), burst write(4): ".
Then you choose your operation and push the enter key. Then it requests some information like the address you want, etc. then it does what you said to device's UFM/CFM sectors.
But here, although it doesnt mention the operation code of 5 and 6, the operation code 6 is the RSU operation. When you select 6 it says: "enter cfm num for rsu (0-1):" and after your selection it says "send rsu data (non ASCII):" and waits for incoming .rpd file.
Here you have to send the rpd file over your serial terminal's file sending section (non ASCII of course).
After the coming of rpd file the fpga will be restarted and runs from new config.
New Contributorwow, this was fast. Thanks.
We are using windows 10.
I don't understand the need for "USB to UART TTL Serial Converter". I understand that all I need is some console to send and receive ASCII messages over the UART lines? this for the first stage of the process.
Then, I understand that I need to send the rpd file in non ASCII mode.
How can I confirm that the file has been transferred successfully?
