<h1>Project IceStorm – Notes for Installing on OSX</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The toolchain should be easy to install on OSX platforms. Below are a few troubleshooting items found on Mountain Lion (10.8.2).
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
See <a href="https://github.com/ddm/icetools">https://github.com/ddm/icetools</a> for a set of shell scripts to build IceStorm on OSX (using brew for dependencies).

<h2>Installing FTDI Library</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The libftdi package (.so lib binary and the ftdi.h header) has been renamed to libftdi0, so either do:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><p><tt>port install libftdi0</tt><br/>
|
|
(note that ports installs the tool to /opt instead of /usr, see next note)</p></li>
|
|
<li><p><tt>brew install libftdi0</tt></p></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h2>iceprog make error on "ftdi.h not found"</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Note that Mac Ports installs to /opt instead of /usr, so change the first two lines in <tt>iceprog/Makefile</tt> to:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre style="padding-left: 3em">
|
|
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/
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Basically you are indicating where to find the lib with <tt>-L/opt/local/lib</tt> and where to find the .h with <tt>-I/opt/local/include/</tt>.

<h2>yosys make error on "<tuple> not found"</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
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):
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre style="padding-left: 3em">
|
|
#CONFIG := clang
|
|
CONFIG := gcc
|
|
</pre>

<h2>error "Can't find iCE FTDI USB device (vedor_id 0x0403, device_id 0x6010)." while uploading code to FPGA (e.g., "iceprog example.bin")</h2>
|

<p>
|
|
You need to unload the FTDI driver. (notes below are from Mountain Lion, 10.8.2).
|
|
First check if it is running:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre style="padding-left: 3em">
|
|
kextstat | grep FTDIUSBSerialDriver
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you see if on the kextstat, we need to unload it:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre style="padding-left: 3em">
|
|
sudo kextunload -b com.FTDI.driver.FTDIUSBSerialDriver`
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Repeat the <tt>kextstat</tt> command and check that the driver was successfully unloaded.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Try running <tt>iceprog example.bin</tt> again. It should be working now.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Note: On newer OSes perhaps you need to also kextunload the <tt>com.apple.driver.AppleUSBFTDI</tt> driver.
