EIE4-FYP/demo

Bare Metal Demo App

This directory provides a basic bare metal demo app that demonstrates how to communicate / drive the custom logic in this project.

Build and Load over LiteX-Term

The project is built with: make -C demo

The project board does not provide extra interfaces to connect to the board, so serial is used here: $ litex_term --kernel demo/demo.bin /dev/ttyACMX (ACM due to the use of usb_acm UART)

You should see the demo app running and should be able to interact with it:

$ litex_term --kernel demo/demo.bin /dev/ttyACM0

     /____/_/\__/\__/_/|_|
   Build your hardware, easily!
