Building Blocks & Tools for FPGA Design with Python & Amaranth HDL. Mostly a place to experiment and figure out how to build things. Also the incubator for the future AXIOM Beta camera gateware & the home of the current AXIOM micro gateware.
This repo contains:
- Prototypes of the upcoming Amaranth data types
PackedStruct
andInterface
(here calledBundle
) (insrc/lib/data_structure/
) - A stream Abstraction with various building Blocks: (in
src/lib/stream/
)- FIFOs
- A gearbox for changing the width
- Helpers for building other Stream cores
- Miscellaneous Debug and Inspection tools
- various Amaranth cores (in
src/lib/
) for:- AXI and AXI Lite including a Buffer reader and Writer
- A CSR bank that can be wired to an AXI bus
- HDMI (currently the DVI subset; derived from Litevideo)
- A HISPI reciever (for the use with aptina / onsemi image sensors)
- A core for streaming data over USB3 using the ft601
- Some utility video processing (like debayering)
- …
- tools for gluing together SOCs (currently supports the Xilinx Zynq and JTAG based plattoforms) in
src/soc/
- Making heavy use of Amaranth HDL Platform abstractions (wrapping existing plattforms)
- Provides a bus agnostic way to describe (low speed) peripherals
- Emits Python code that can be used to access the designs CSRs (“pydriver”)
- Generate devicetree overlays for loading linux device drivers
- pack “fatbitstreams” that bundle setup logic, drivers and the bitstream
- there is a Poster about the naps soc infrastructure.
- platform definitions for both the AXIOM Beta and the AXIOM Micro in
src/devices/
- a variety of other smaller half-working experiments in
src/experiments/
- linux framebuffer HDMI output
- USB3 Plugin module gateware (wip)
- AXIOM micro camera gateware (wip)
- test gateware to test connectors for their ability to transmit high speed data (via a loopback test)
- test gateware for the axi writer & reader
