How can I support python on Xilinx Vivado FPGA board? #142

Closed nagmat1 closed 3 years ago

nagmat1 commented 3 years ago

I just installed freedom-u-sdk on Xilinx Vivado FPGA board according to these steps: git clone https://github.com/mcd500/freedom-u-sdk cd freedom-u-sdk git checkout -b linux_u500vc707devkit_config origin/linux_u500vc707devkit_config git submodule update --init --recursive --force make -j4 Then I wrote a binary and a tool in python which worked on freedom-u-sdk Simulator, but when I tried it on Hardware, python was not working on it. Now my question is: How can I support python on Xilinx Vivado Hardware?

This is an old pre-upstream buildroot based system which we don't support anymore as far as I know. You should be able to modify the buildroot config to enable python support. Whether that actually builds and works, I have no idea. You would have to try it and see.

Thank for your quick response! Yeah, it works fine on my board. What are the steps to enable python support? Could you share some resource please?

You can find buildoot docs here. https://buildroot.org/downloads/manual/manual.html You want the user guide section which talks about how to configure buildroot.
