How to says : do not configure with impact ? #33

Open Martoni opened 4 years ago

Martoni commented 4 years ago

I integrated several armadeus boards in the blinky project. These boards are all built with spartan fpga and use ISE toolchain for synthesis. Constructing bitstream works well with fusesoc commands : 

 fusesoc run --target=opos6ul_sp fusesoc:utils:blinky

But end with impact error configurator : 

Cable connection failed.
Cable autodetection failed.
ERROR: Failed to run fusesoc:utils:blinky:1.0 : 'impact' exited with an error code

I can't configure armadeus board FPGA with impact, to configure it I have to download bitstream in uboot and launch config command on board.

Then, Is there an option to says : hey do not try to configure the FPGA ? And get no error.

Sorry, missed this one.

Yes, this has been a problem for a long time with FuseSoC. I really want to improve how FPGA programming tools are handled but haven't had time to do it. Some more info here https://github.com/olofk/fusesoc/issues/319
