# cycloader
Utility for programming Intel/Altera Cyclone and Xilinx Serie 7
Current support:
* Trenz cyc1000 Cyclone 10 LP 10CL025 (memory and spi flash)
* Digilent arty 35T (memory)
## compile and install
This application uses **libftdi1**, so this library must be installed (and,
depending of the distribution, headers too)
```bash
apt-get install libftdi1-2 libftdi1-dev libftdipp1-3 libftdipp1-dev
```
and if not already done, install **pkg-config**, **make** and **g++**.
To build the app:
```bash
$ make
```
To install
```bash
$ sudo make install
```
Currently, the install path is hardcoded to /usr/local
## Usage
```bash
cycloader --help
Usage: cycloader [OPTION...] BIT_FILE
cycloader -- a program to flash cyclone10 LP FPGA
-b, --board=BOARD board name, may be used instead of cable
-c, --cable=CABLE jtag interface
-d, --display display FPGA and EEPROM model
-o, --offset=OFFSET start offset in EEPROM
-r, --reset reset FPGA after operations
-v, --verbose Produce verbose output
-?, --help Give this help list
--usage Give a short usage message
-V, --version Print program version
```

### CYC1000
#### loading in memory:
sof to svf generation:
```bash
quartus_cpf -c -q -g 3.3 -n 12.0MHz p project_name.sof project_name.svf
```
file load:
```bash
cycloader -b cyc1000 project_name.svf
```
#### SPI flash:
sof to rpd:
```bash
quartus_cpf -o auto_create_rpd=on -c -d EPCQ16A -s 10CL025YU256C8G project_name.svf project_name.jic
```
file load:
```bash
cycloader -b cyc1000 -r project_name_auto.rpd
```
**Note about SPI flash:
svf file used to write in flash is just a bridge between FT2232 interfaceB
configured in SPI mode and sfl primitive used to access EPCQ SPI flash.**
