Artix-7 35T Arty FPGA Evaluation Kit¶

Hardware¶

Platform Shakti: Shakti is an open-source initiative by the RISE group at IIT-Madras, which is not only building open source, production grade processors, but also associated components like interconnect fabrics, verification tools, storage controllers, peripheral IPs and SOC tools.

Configuration¶

Please use artix7_35t ID for board option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File):

[env:artix7_35t]
platform = shakti
board = artix7_35t

You can override default Artix-7 35T Arty FPGA Evaluation Kit settings per build environment using board_*** option, where *** is a JSON object path from board manifest artix7_35t.json. For example, board_build.mcu, board_build.f_cpu, etc.

[env:artix7_35t]
platform = shakti
board = artix7_35t

; change microcontroller
board_build.mcu = E-Class

; change MCU frequency
board_build.f_cpu = 50000000L

Uploading¶

Artix-7 35T Arty FPGA Evaluation Kit supports the next uploading protocols:

• ftdi

• ftdi

• jlink

• jlink

Default protocol is ftdi

You can change upload protocol using upload_protocol option:

[env:artix7_35t]
platform = shakti
board = artix7_35t

upload_protocol = ftdi

Debugging¶

PIO Unified Debugger - “1-click” solution for debugging with a zero configuration.

You can switch between debugging Tools & Debug Probes using debug_tool option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File).

Artix-7 35T Arty FPGA Evaluation Kit has on-board debug probe and IS READY for debugging. You don’t need to use/buy external debug probe.
