Building firmware and FPGA images

------------------------------------------------------------------------

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

FPGA Image

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Xilinx ISE 10.1 and up is required to build the FPGA image for the USRP2.

The build requires that you have a unix-like environment with make.

Make sure that xtclsh from the Xilinx ISE bin directory is in your $PATH.

Run the following commands:

::

    cd <uhd-repo-path>/fpga/usrp2/top/u2_rev3

    make -f Makefile.udp bin

*The image file will be ./build/u2_rev3.bin*

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Firmware Image

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The Microblaze GCC compiler from the Xilinx EDK is required to build the firmware.

The build requires that you have a unix-like environment with autotools and make.

Make sure that mb-gcc from the Xilinx EDK/microblaze directory is in your $PATH.

Run the following commands:

::

    cd <uhd-repo-path>/firmware/microblaze

    ./boostrap

    ./configure --host=mb

    make

*The image file will be ./usrp2/usrp2_txrx_uhd.bin*
