Notes for Installing on OSX
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
The toolchain should be easy to install on OSX platforms. Below are a
|
|
few troubleshooting items found on Mountain Lion (10.8.2).
|
|
|
|
See https://github.com/ddm/icetools for a set of shell scripts to build
|
|
IceStorm on OSX (using brew for dependencies).
|
|
|
|
Installing FTDI Library
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
The libftdi package (.so lib binary and the ftdi.h header) has been
|
|
renamed to libftdi0, so either do:
|
|
|
|
| ``port install libftdi0``
|
|
| (note that ports installs the tool to /opt instead of /usr, see
|
|
next note)
|
|
|
|
``brew install libftdi0``
|
|
|
|
iceprog make error on "ftdi.h not found"
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Note that Mac Ports installs to /opt instead of /usr, so change the
|
|
first two lines in ``iceprog/Makefile`` to:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
LDLIBS = -L/usr/local/lib -L/opt/local/lib -lftdi -lm
|
|
CFLAGS = -MD -O0 -ggdb -Wall -std=c99 -I/usr/local/include -I/opt/local/include/
|
|
|
|
Basically you are indicating where to find the lib with
|
|
``-L/opt/local/lib`` and where to find the .h with
|
|
``-I/opt/local/include/``.
|
|
|
|
yosys make error on "<tuple> not found"
|
|
---------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This is a compiler issue, i.e., you are probably running on clang and
|
|
you can circumvent this error by compiling against another compiler.
|
|
Edit the Makefile of yosys and replace the two first lines for this,
|
|
i.e., comment the first line (clang) and uncomment the second (gcc):
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
#CONFIG := clang
|
|
CONFIG := gcc
|
|
|
|
error "Can't find iCE FTDI USB device (vendor_id 0x0403, device_id 0x6010)." while uploading code to FPGA (e.g., "iceprog example.bin")
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
You need to unload the FTDI driver (notes below are from Mountain Lion,
|
|
10.8.2). First check if it is running:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
kextstat | grep FTDIUSBSerialDriver
|
|
|
|
If you see it on the kextstat, we need to unload it:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
sudo kextunload -b com.FTDI.driver.FTDIUSBSerialDriver
|
|
|
|
Repeat the ``kextstat`` command and check that the driver was
|
|
successfully unloaded.
|
|
|
|
Try running ``iceprog example.bin`` again. It should be working now.
|
|
|
|
Note: On newer OSes perhaps you need to also kextunload the
|
|
``com.apple.driver.AppleUSBFTDI`` driver.
