GateMate pre-packaged downloader does not work with Olimex board #7

Open chili-chips-ba opened 3 weeks ago

chili-chips-ba commented 3 weeks ago

openFPGAloader that's packaged with GateMate toolsuite (see https://www.colognechip.com/docs/ug1002-toolchain-install-latest.pdf) does not work for Olimex. We had to alter the published procedure and download it from other repo.

@goran-mahovlic and @aimamovic6 can provide additional details...

Which version are you referring to? openFPGALoader has had support for the Olimex board for some time, see here:

The current pre-packed version is v.0.12.1 and therefore contains all the necessary support. Of course, you must specify the correct board (-b olimex_gatemateevb) in the Makefile. What exactly went wrong?

@pu-cc Tnx Patric, you are right there version is up to date.

I am also using openFPGALoader v0.12.1 without problems.

Problem we had is that your build is not working on our systems.

It is working once we compile from source.
