Overview


The Microchip M2GL025 board is an IGLOO2 FPGA based development board. The Mi-V RISC-V soft CPU can be deployed on the MGL025 board. More information can be found on Microchip's website <https://www.microchip.com/en-us/products/fpgas-and-plds/fpga-and-soc-design-tools/mi-v>_.

Building

Applications for the m2gl025_miv board configuration can be built as usual (see :ref:build_an_application):

.. zephyr-app-commands:: :board: m2gl025_miv :goals: build

Flashing

In order to upload the application to the device, you'll need OpenOCD and GDB with RISC-V support. You can get them as a part of SoftConsole SDK. Download and installation instructions can be found on Microchip's SoftConsole website <https://www.microchip.com/en-us/products/fpgas-and-plds/fpga-and-soc-design-tools/soc-fpga/softconsole>_.

With the necessary tools installed, you can connect to the board using OpenOCD. To establish an OpenOCD connection run:

.. code-block:: bash

sudo LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<softconsole_path>/openocd/bin
<softconsole_path>/openocd/bin/openocd --file
<softconsole_path>/openocd/share/openocd/scripts/board/microsemi-riscv.cfg

Leave it running, and in a different terminal, use GDB to upload the binary to the board. You can use the RISC-V GDB from a toolchain delivered with SoftConsole SDK.

Here is the GDB terminal command to connect to the device and load the binary:

.. code-block:: console

<softconsole_path>/riscv-unknown-elf-gcc/bin/riscv64-unknown-elf-gdb
-ex "target extended-remote localhost:3333"
-ex "set mem inaccessible-by-default off"
-ex "set arch riscv:rv32"
-ex "set riscv use_compressed_breakpoints no"
-ex "load" <path_to_executable>
