# Flubber FPGA Startup and Configuration Guide
OPAE Environment Setup
----------------------
$ source /opt/inteldevstack/init_env_user.sh
$ export OPAE_HOME=/opt/opae/1.1.2
$ export PATH=$OPAE_HOME/bin:$PATH
$ export C_INCLUDE_PATH=$OPAE_HOME/include:$C_INCLUDE_PATH
$ export LIBRARY_PATH=$OPAE_HOME/lib:$LIBRARY_PATH
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$OPAE_HOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
$ export RISCV_TOOLCHAIN_PATH=/opt/riscv-gnu-toolchain
$ export PATH=:/opt/verilator/bin:$PATH
$ export VERILATOR_ROOT=/opt/verilator
OPAE Build Configuration
------------------------
Within the /hw/syn/opae directory, there are source text files for each core-option for the fpga build (the 32 and 64 core options are not currently implemented) which have the following parameters that can be configured:
- NUM_CORES: the number of cores per cluster
- NUM_CLUSTERS: the number of clusters alotted to the processor
- L3_ENABLE: enable the use of the L3 cache
- PERF_ENABLE: enable the use of all profile counters
To enable L3 cache and profile counters for a build, simply uncomment the definition within the respective source file.
OPAE Build
------------------
The Flubber FPGA has to following configuration options:
- 1 core fpga (fpga-1c)
- 2 cores fpga (fpga-2c)
- 4 cores fpga (fpga-4c)
- 8 cores fpga (fpga-8c)
- 16 cores fpga (fpga-16c)
$ cd hw/syn/opae
$ make fpga-*# of cores*c
Example: `make fpga-4c`
A new folder `build_fpga_*# of cores*c` will be created and the build will start and take ~30-45 min to complete.
OPAE Build Progress
-------------------
You could check the last 10 lines in the build log for possible errors until build completion.
$ tail -n 10 ./build_fpga_*# of cores*c/build.log
Example: `tail -n 10 ./build_fpga_4c/build.log`
Check if the build is still running by looking for quartus_sh, quartus_syn, or quartus_fit programs.
$ ps -u `username`
If the build fails and you need to restart it, clean up the build folder using the following command:
$ make clean-fpga-*# of cores*c
Example: `make clean-fpga-4c`
The file `vortex_afu.gbs` should exist when the build is done:
$ ls -lsa ./build_fpga_*# of cores*c/vortex_afu.gbs
Signing the bitstream and Programming the FPGA
----------------------------------------------
$ cd ./build_fpga_`# of cores`c/
$ PACSign PR -t UPDATE -H openssl_manager -i vortex_afu.gbs -o vortex_afu_unsigned_ssl.gbs
$ fpgasupdate vortex_afu_unsigned_ssl.gbs
FPGA sample test running OpenCL sgemm kernel
--------------------------------------------
Run the following from the Vortex root directory
$ ./ci/blackbox.sh --driver=fpga --app=sgemm --args="-n64"
