Digilent Nexys A7¶

Hardware¶

Platform OpenHW Group: OpenHW Group is a not-for-profit, global organization that provides an infrastructure for hosting high quality open-source HW developments in line with industry best practices. The OpenHW CV32E40P RISC-V core is the first open-source core for high-volume chips verified with the state-of-the-art process required for high-integrity, commercial SoCs.

Configuration¶

Please use nexys_a7 ID for board option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File):

[env:nexys_a7]
platform = openhw
board = nexys_a7

You can override default Digilent Nexys A7 settings per build environment using board_*** option, where *** is a JSON object path from board manifest nexys_a7.json. For example, board_build.mcu, board_build.f_cpu, etc.

[env:nexys_a7]
platform = openhw
board = nexys_a7

; change microcontroller
board_build.mcu =

; change MCU frequency
board_build.f_cpu = 320000000L

Debugging¶

Debugging - “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).

Digilent Nexys A7 has on-board debug probe and IS READY for debugging. You don’t need to use/buy external debug probe.
