Instructions for Setting up FLEX9

|
XSA-3S1000 + XST3.0 + IDE harddrive
|
| 4 |
|
|
|
| 5 |
|
|
1. Build the bitstream by going to the rtl/System09_Xess_-3S1000 and typing
|
| 6 |
|
|
'make bit' in a cygwin shell.
|
| 7 |
|
|
|
| 8 |
|
|
2. Connect a serial cable from the XST3.0 board to the serial port on the PC.
|
| 9 |
|
|
|
| 10 |
|
|
3. Connect an IDE hard disk to the IDE connector on the XST3 board. It should be
|
| 11 |
|
|
at least 128 MB for 4 logical Flex disk drives.
|
| 12 |
|
|
|
| 13 |
|
|
4. Connect a PS/2 keyboard and VGA monitor to the XSA-3S1000 board.
|
| 14 |
|
|
|
| 15 |
|
|
5. Open Hyperterm and configure the port for 57600 8-N-1.
|
| 16 |
|
|
|
| 17 |
|
|
6. Download the bitstream to the FPGA using 'make xsload'. If you have the USB
|
| 18 |
|
|
download cable, you can build and download the bitstream by typing 'make usbxsload'.
|
| 19 |
|
|
|
| 20 |
|
|
7. Use the 'UF' command at the S-BUG prompt to format an empty drive.
|
| 21 |
|
|
|
| 22 |
|
|
8. Use the 'UX' command at the S-BUG prompt to download the FLEX9 disk image
|
| 23 |
|
|
using the XModem protocol in Hyperterm. The disk image file is FLEXESS.dsk.
|
| 24 |
|
|
Downloading takes about 11 minutes at 57.6k baud.
|
| 25 |
|
|
|
| 26 |
|
|
9. Flex9 is embedded in the bitstream to load in a block RAM on the FPGA. Once
|
| 27 |
|
|
the disk image is downloaded, start FLEX by setting the program counter to $CD00
|
| 28 |
|
|
(using ^P CD00 at the S-BUG prompt), then type 'G' at the S-BUG prompt. If things
|
| 29 |
|
|
are working correctly Flex should request the date then give the "+++" prompt.
|
| 30 |
|
|
|
| 31 |
|
|
10. Test the disk drive by typing 'DIR,0' at the flex prompt (no single quotes).
|
| 32 |
|
|
It should list the files on drive 0.
|
| 33 |
|
|
|
| 34 |
|
|
11. The UX download program writes a bootstrap loader on the disk after the disk
|
| 35 |
|
|
image is downloaded. The Flex image must be linked to to the boot strap using
|
| 36 |
|
|
the "LINK 0.FLEX9IDE.SYS" command at the FLEX prompt. Then, next time System09
|
| 37 |
|
|
is powered on, simply issue the 'D' command at the S-BUG prompt to boot FLEX.
