# 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 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 (ex: `build_fpga_4c`) 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_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"
