The Basys Chronicles Episode 3: Flashing the Quad SPI
Summary
In Episode 2 of the Basys Chronicles, I configured (programmed) the Artix-7 FPGA with a simple Binary-to-Decimal calculator application, through the USB-JTAG port. I haven’t upgraded to the latest release yet (yes, I will get to it eventually), and for some reason the Vivado environment has to be set up and then executed via the Command line. Note: I found the GitHub easier to navigate than the Digilent site: the tutorials are on the Diligent website, but they are harder to find. So, back to the Abacus (binary to decimal calculator) project: everything is as it was in Episode 1; I just need to build the .bin file targeted to the Macronix flash. It’s on the bottom of the board, and here’s a magnified picture of it: We see that it’s an MX25L3233F part, so we need to select that in the Add Configuration Memory Device screen: Click OK, and that programs the flash successfully.
