I finally managed to get this working with Mistery's very patient assistance. Thank you. I will be writing up the process as soon as I have time. It was actually fairly simple in truth. I am struggling with the pin out though - the implementation constraints file used for the arduino does not appear to be entirely correct.
I've written up a blog post on how to control the Mimas V2 via the Arduino IDE - All possible thanks to Mistery and the people who are involved in the FPGArduino project! http://langster1980.blogspot.co.uk/2015/11/arduino-soft-processor-on-mimas-v2-fpga.html Hope people find it useful!
hello friend need some help from you if possibly can you modiffy mimas v2 ucf files and generate bit file for mimas v1 board ? the v1 board have same design like v2 just without some additionall peripherals - same pic microcontroller for reprogramm spi flash , same spi flash just it have on board XC6SLX9-TQG144 so it have diffrent pinout than XC6SLX9 CSG324 from v2 version and 100mhz generator is connected to another line then the pinout of UCF file need to be replaced too heres the UCF file for mimas v1: http://phpstack-776178-2640993.clou...uctdata/assets/downloads/fpga/mimas/Mimas.ucf and heres the link mimas v1: http://numato.com/mimas-spartan-6-fpga-development-board/ i dont know how to modiffy these files and recompille the project if you can do it will be great thanks
Sorry for long waiting, but I did not have build envirement ready, now I can compile your version, but it would be great if you find ucf with more pins, on this one you only have leds and switches...
Today Alexander and me manage to get HDMI from numato on numato sample and finally on FPGArduino it was my mistake because I have generate bad clock, and we found one error on numato git for HDMI module, I already made pull request, Blue color is switched with red. We tested numato sample and FPGArduino on two two boards, and now having HDMI output ... Now that clock is fixed FM/RDS seams to work to, but for now you need to hold your finger on R46 433Mhz should work but not tested DCF77 time information via arduino pin should work to Some new console text is working but stops when it should show some color palette https://yadi.sk/i/7Q_NOB4nqhvwo
Hopefully nobody minds that I'm reviving this thread after so long. I am trying to get FPGArduino running on my Mimas V2 but I am getting a 404 when I click the link for Mimas V2 on your website: http://www.nxlab.fer.hr/fpgarduino/numato-mimas-v2.html. So I decided to check out the code from https://github.com/f32c/f32c and try to build myself. I opened the project in rtl/proj/xilinx/numato. I tried mimas_v2_ddr2 both mimas_v2_bram. When I try to open the project, I get missing files for all the VHDL. I was able to find almost all of them, but the following are not anywhere in the git repo that I checked out. s6_numato_mimas_v2_toplevel_bram.vhd clk_100MHz_25MHz_250MHz.vhd hdmi_out.vhd dvid_out.vhd boot_block_pack.vhd Any suggestions?
Hi, I cloned the git repo a while back and I have the files you appear to be missing. I have shared the files here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7fA8ZgAyKMlQ1NxX1J5V1EtUnM Hopefully that should help. Let me know if anything still does not work. Cheers Alex
Alex, Thanks for uploading that, but in the end I didn't need it. I had also filed a bug on the f32c project here: https://github.com/f32c/f32c/issues/62, and they fixed the project so it would build with the Makefile. Apparently the project files have changed quite a bit and the Mimas V2 project was not kept up to date. The project still wouldn't build in ISE, and the Makefile doesn't work on Windows, so I looked at the Makefile to figure out what files were necessary to build the current project and then added and removed files from ISE until I got it working. I made a pull request to get this fixed in the main f32c repo here: https://github.com/f32c/f32c/pull/63. Thanks, J.B.
Hi. Any news related to the Numato Mimas V1 bit file? The .ufc sent by fb59f can be found at: http://numato.com/mimas-spartan-6-fpga-development-board/ but the only pins shown there are leds and switches. I'll try to make a new one. For now I'll be following Alexander Lang's tutorial, trying to run it on my Mimas V1. I'll edit my progress later. Edit -- I've sent an e-mail to Numato Labs asking for a improved user constraints file, waiting for response. I'll be running the tutorial now. Later on I'll start doing an improved .ucf by myself.
