QuickLogic-FASM

This repository contains tools, scripts and resources for generating a bitstream from the FASM files for the QuickLogic FPGAs.

Installation

To install quicklogic_fasm run:

pip3 install git+https://github.com/antmicro/quicklogic-fasm.git

Generating bitstream for QuickLogic from FASM

To generate a bitstream from FASM file, you need to run:

qlfasm <input.fasm> <output.bin>

Generating FASM from QuickLogic bitstream

To generate a FASM file from bitstream file, you need to run:

qlfasm -d <input.bin> <output.fasm>

Generating JLink script for Quicklogic bitstream

To create a JLink file that can be used to flash the FPGA (i.e. for Chandalar board), you need to run:

python -m quicklogic_fasm.bitstream_to_jlink <input.bin> <output.jlink>

Generating OpenOCD script for Quicklogic bitstream

To create an OpenOCD file that can be used to flash the FPGA, you need to run:

python -m quicklogic_fasm.bitstream_to_openocd <input.bin> <output.cfg>

Generating Symbiflow Database (db) files from device CSV files

To generate a new FASM database, you should clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/antmicro/quicklogic-fasm.git
cd quicklogic-fasm

After this, you can use gen_database.sh script that will run convert_csv_to_db.py script for all CSV files from selected device submodule:

./gen_database.sh -d <device-type> -o <output-db-dir>

DB files from quicklogic_fasm/ql732b and quicklogic_fasm/ql725a are the results of this script.
