plutosdr-fw

PlutoSDR Firmware for the ADALM-PLUTO Active Learning Module

Latest binary Release : GitHub release

Instructions from the Wiki: Building the image

  • Build Instructions
 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 libssl1.0-dev mtools
 sudo apt-get install bc python cpio zip unzip rsync file wget
 git clone --recursive https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/plutosdr-fw.git
 cd plutosdr-fw
 export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf-
 export PATH=$PATH:/opt/Xilinx/SDK/2018.2/gnu/aarch32/lin/gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi/bin
 export VIVADO_SETTINGS=/opt/Xilinx/Vivado/2018.2/settings64.sh
 make

The project may build also using Vivado 2017.4, 2017.2, 2016.4 or 2016.2. However 2018.2 is the current tested FPGA systhesis toolchain. In the v0.30 release we swithched to the arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc hard-float toolchain.

If you want to use the former arm-xilinx-linux-gnueabi-gcc soft-float toolchain included in SDK 2017.2. Following variables should be exported:

<<<<<<< HEAD
     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 libssl1.0-dev mtools
     git clone --recursive https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/plutosdr-fw.git
     cd plutosdr-fw
     . ./prep.sh
     make

=======
export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-xilinx-linux-gnueabi-
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/Xilinx/SDK/2017.2/gnu/arm/lin/bin
export VIVADO_SETTINGS=/opt/Xilinx/Vivado/2017.4/settings64.sh
>>>>>>> upstream/master

And you need to revert this patch: https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/buildroot/commit/fea212afc7dc0ee530762a1921d9ae8180778ffa

If you receive an error similar to the following:

Starting SDK. This could take few seconds... timeout while establishing a connection with SDK
   while executing
"error "timeout while establishing a connection with SDK""
   (procedure "getsdkchan" line 108)
   invoked from within
"getsdkchan"
   (procedure "createhw" line 26)
   invoked from within
"createhw {*}$args"
   (procedure "::sdk::create_hw_project" line 3)
   invoked from within
"sdk create_hw_project -name hw_0 -hwspec build/system_top.hdf"
   (file "scripts/create_fsbl_project.tcl" line 5)

you may be able to work around it by preventing eclipse from using GTK3 for the Standard Widget Toolkit (SWT). Prior to running make, also set the following environment variable:

export SWT_GTK3=0

This problem seems to affect Ubuntu 16.04LTS only.
