More Information of HapsTrak 3 to FMC adapter #12

Open BarryWang2017 opened 5 years ago

BarryWang2017 commented 5 years ago

I learned from the ARC HSDK user manual that this development board can be connected to other FPGA boards via "HapsTrak 3 to FMC adapter". But I didn't find any more specific information, such as where to get the adapter and how to use it. I would be very grateful if someone could give me some information.

Thank you! Barry

Hi Barry,

I am sorry, there must be old info in our documentation - "HapsTrak 3 to FMC adapter" option is not available. We will fix it (the document).

The only working option now is to connect HSDK to HAPS-70, HAPS-80 or HAPS-DX. For other boards such HapsTrak 3 bridging adapter should be developed separately.

Regards,s Igor.

Hi Igor, Thank you for your reply. In addition, I learned from the user manual that the ARC HSDK has the Vivante GC7000 NanoUltra3T GPU Processing Unit @ 400Mhz. How should I configure and use the GPU? Is there a document or tutorial?

Sincerely yours, Barry

I don't think we may share documents for Vivante GPU but this GPU is supported very well by recent upstream Linux kernel via reverse engineered Etnaviv driver so you're free to use that as a good source of knowledge, see https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/gpu/drm/etnaviv
