LatticeMico32 System encompasses three tools: the Mico System Builder (MSB), the C/C++ Software Project Environment (C/C++ SPE), and the Debugger. Together, they enable you to build an embedded microprocessor system on a single FPGA device and to write and debug the software that drives it. Such a microprocessor lowers cost by saving board space and increases performance by reducing the number of external wires. The LatticeMico32 System interface is based on the Eclipse environment, which is an open-source development and application framework for building software. Although you can install LatticeMico32 System as a stand-alone tool, this tutorial assumes that you have installed ispLEVER before installing LatticeMico32 System. After you have created a project in ispLEVER, the tutorial shows you how to use MSB to choose a Lattice Semiconductor 32-bit microprocessor, attach components to it, and generate a top-level design, including the microprocessor and the chosen components. Next you will use ispLEVER to synthesize, map, place, and route the design and generate a bitstream for it. You will then download this bitstream to the FPGA on the board. The tutorial then changes to the Lattice Software Project Environment (C/C++ SPE) and shows how to use C/C++ SPE to write and compile the software application code that exercises the microprocessor and components. Finally, it shows how to download and debug the code on the board and deploy it in the parallel flash chips on the LatticeMico32/DSP development board. LatticeMico32 Tutorial 1 LatticeMico32 Tutorial Introduction This tutorial is intended for a new or infrequent user of the LatticeMico32 System software and covers only the basic aspects of it. The tutorial assumes that you have reviewed the LatticeMico32 Development Kit User’s Guide for LatticeECP2 to familiarize yourself with the product and to set up your board correctly. For more detailed information on the LatticeMico32 System software, see the sources listed in “Recommended References” on page 89. Learning Objectives When you have completed this tutorial, you should be able to do the following: Use MSB to configure a Lattice Semiconductor 32-bit microprocessor for your design, select the desired components, and connect the selected components to the microprocessor with a shared-bus arbitration scheme, which is the default. Use The Lattice Software Project Environment to create the C/C++ software application code that drives the microprocessor and components. Import the Verilog or Verilog/VHDL files generated by MSB in Windows or the EDIF file generated by a synthesis tool in Linux. Import an .lpf file containing the pinout. Synthesize, map, place, and route the design. Generate a bitstream of the microprocessor and download it to an FPGA on the board. Compile, download, and debug the software application code on the LatticeMico32/DSP development board. Program the Common Flash Interface (CFI) parallel flash memory with the software application code. Debug the hardware and software on the board. Time to Complete This Tutorial The time to complete this tutorial is about two hours. System Requirements You can run this tutorial on Windows or Linux. Windows If you will be running this tutorial on Windows on a PC, your system must meet the following minimum system requirements: Pentium II PC running at 400 MHz or faster ® ®Microsoft Windows 2000 , Windows XP Professional, or Windows ®Vista USB port for use with the LatticeMico32/DSP development board LatticeMico32 Tutorial 2 LatticeMico32 Tutorial Introduction The following software is required to complete the tutorial: ispLEVER 8.0 software with device support for the device used with your build of the LatticeMico32/DSP development board LatticeMico32 System version 8.0 ispVM System software version 17.0 or later, which is included in the ispLEVER software See the ispLEVER Installation Notice for the current release for information on installing software on the Windows platform. Linux If you will be running this tutorial on Linux on a PC, your system must meet the following minimum system requirements: Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system Version 4.0 or 5.0 ispLEVER version 8.0 ® ®For mixed Verilog/VHDL support: Synopsys Synplify Pro 8.9 or Synplify Pro 8.9.1 for Linux Linux system with USB port ispVM System Linux version 17.2 or later. You must install ispVM System separately. You can download it from the following Lattice Semiconductor Web site: http://www.latticesemi.com/products/designsoftware/ispvmsystem/ index.cfm See the ispLEVER Installation Guide for the current release for information on installing software on the Linux platform. Hardware This tutorial requires the following hardware: A LatticeMico32/DSP development board for LatticeECP2 USB cable AC adapter cord Note If you want to perform functional simulation for the mixed Verilog/VHDL flow, you must have access to a simulator that supports mixed-mode Verilog and VHDL simulation.
