==== PMOD Support ====
 +
1. The BeagleWire has the PMOD connectors reversed from the "Standard" template.<br>
 +
The standard template is as follows:<br>
 +
<pre>
 +
3.3V | GND | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0
 +
3.3V | GND | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4

The pinout for BeagleWire PMOD:<br>

 +
4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | GND | 3.3V
 +
0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | GND | 3.3V
 +
</pre>
 +
2. So to use PMODs with BeagleWire One needs to connect the PMOD upside down or use some sort of Breakout Board. I found this Breakout made out especially for BeagleWire: [https://github.com/CapableRobot/PMOD-Adapters#cr7csz-beaglewire-to-pmod BeagleWire to PMOD]<br>
 +
3. Using this Breakout board I will be Interfacing New PMODs to BeagleWire, changes will be done in the current pcf file for GPIO position if found wrong.

I have experienced with Intel's Quartus, Xilinx's vivado, and opensource toolchains for ice40. I have also done many projects related to Cyclone2, Upduino3.0(ICE40), Sipeed Tang Primer FPGA.

About your project

  • Project name: Beaglewire Software

Description

Introduction

The BeagleWire is an FPGA development platform that has been designed for use with BeagleBone boards. BeagleWire is a cape on which there is an FPGA device (Lattice iCE40HX). The software support for BeagleWire is still in the development phase. In this project, I'm developing and testing the existing software support of Beaglewire.
The known primary issue in Beaglewire is the interface between 32MB SDRAM and ICE40HX4K. For this Solution, I'm going to try options like LiteDRAM(a small footprint and configurable DRAM core) or Advanced SDRAM controller provided by LATTICE.

Why LiteDRAM for SDRAM Control

The Core produced by LiteDRAM is
1. Fully pipelined, high performance.
2. Configurable commands depth on bankmachines.
3. Auto-Precharge.
4. Periodic refresh/ZQ short calibration (up to 8 postponed refreshes).
(;LiteDRAM is already used in commercial and open-source designs)

Testing and Improvement of Subsystem Like I2C, SPI, PWM, UART

In this project I'm going to test all the subsystems like I2C, SPI, PWM, UART in Hardware and the primary goal will be to debug the issues related to it and fix them accordingly. Along with the driver code ready to use solutions will be added in software support.

  • I2C: There are two grove Connectors on BeagleWire for I2C, I will test the current Verilog Code of I2C in hardware, and will found out if further improvements can be done or not.
  • UART: The existing code of Uart will be tested in hardware, and few examples also will be added for UART.
  • PWM: New Example will be created for testing of PWM. Servo Code will serve the purpose of testing the PWM drivers.

Others

  • There are current Issues open on BeagleWire Repository, These will be solved during this project.
  • More PMODs will be interfaced with the BeagleWire.
  • Increase the Documentation and also add getting started guide for BeagleWire.

Details of Implementation

  • First of all, I need to load a pre-prepared BBB image to beagle with existing all required drivers and scripts to start BeagleWire development.

The steps give on Quick Start Guide:

  • To generate the bitstream I'm going to first try the existing fpga-load script which leverages the FPGA manager, which is the core that exports a set of functions for programming an FPGA with an Image.

LiteDRAM

1. LiteDRAM provides a small footprint and configurable DRAM core. The configuration of LiteDRAM can be changed using yml input. The examples given the repository as follows:

#
# This file is part of LiteDRAM.
#

    "speedgrade": -1,          # FPGA speedgrade
    "memtype":    "DDR2",      # DRAM type
.
.
.

2. This configuration can be changed for this application that is memory type to SDRAM and CPU None: 

cpu=None

Testing of Subsystems

1. For this I need to synthesize the Verilog code first using IceStorm Toolchains, I will be first referring to the steps mentioned in the BeagleWire Documentation:
Synthesizing Verilog Code using Icestorm Toolchains
2. Using this I can test the driver codes in hardware and observe the waveforms on DSO if needed.

PMOD Support

1. The BeagleWire has the PMOD connectors reversed from the "Standard" template.
The standard template is as follows:

3.3V | GND | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0
3.3V | GND | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4

The pinout for BeagleWire PMOD:

4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | GND | 3.3V
0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | GND | 3.3V

2. So to use PMODs with BeagleWire One needs to connect the PMOD upside down or use some sort of Breakout Board. I found this Breakout made out especially for BeagleWire: BeagleWire to PMOD
3. Using this Breakout board I will be Interfacing New PMODs to BeagleWire, changes will be done in the current pcf file for GPIO position if found wrong.

Hardware Needed

  1. BeagleWire
  2. BeagleBone Black / BeagleBone Black Wireless
  3. Various PMODs
  4. PMOD Breakout Board
