2 years ago Hi guys. Appreciate all the work on this. It is hard, really hard, to make install work flawlessly (I’m not sure it is possible). You might want to talk to Anthony about this. I believe he has concluded that he needs to start with a fresh VM so that he is sure there is no reliance on unacknowledged packages. And of course there is always the problem of which systems do you validate? Ubuntu 18, unbuntu20, ubuntu22, Windows, WSL with …?
BTW, I believe antmicro has some package that reads the readme file (presumably it must be structured in some agreed way) and uses that to generate and test the install process. Not for now, obviously, but perhaps some day we should look into that.

-It is expected that the majority of cli-test users will want to run it from an Integrated Development Environment.
-The remainder of this document will get you set up with the Eclipse-IDE.
+Core-v-mcu-cli-test is a stand-alone program that runs on the CORE-V MCU under FreeRTOS and is controlled from a terminal.
+At the time of this writing (2022-03-09) "cli-test" runs under Verilator or in emulation on a Digilent Nexys A7-100T evaluation kit.
+Setup instructions for the Nexys A7 and a terminal emulator to run cli-test can be found in the CORE-V-MCU Quick Start Guide.

Yikes. I was worried about this. I have not tested the bitmap on downloads.openhwgroup.org, but thought you had. Keeping bitmaps in sync with cli_test will be a challenge. For now, I will indicate that the bitmap on the repo should be used and the download page is "coming soon".

Hi @rickoco and @gmartin102. This is the updated set of instructions for using Eclipse to load cli_test on the Nexys A7. I've tried to make it as bullet proof as possible. Feedback welcome.
