Cloning the repository

The first step is to clone this repository. IOb-SoC-Versat uses git sub-module trees and GitHub will ask for your password for each downloaded module if you clone it by https. To avoid this, setup GitHub access with ssh and type:

git clone --recursive [email protected]:IObundle/iob-soc-versat.git
cd iob-soc-versat

Alternatively, you can still clone this repository using https if you cache your credentials before cloning the repository using:

git config --global credential.helper 'cache --timeout <time_in_seconds>'

Running tests

After cloning the repository and assuming you have all the dependencies installed, a test case can be tested by running the following commands:

make clean pc-emul-run TEST="TestName"
make clean sim-run TEST="TestName"
make clean fpga-run TEST="TestName"

TestName is the test's name. The firmware of the tests is contained inside the software/src/Tests folder, and the dataflow graphs they use are described in the file ./versatSpec.txt.

Requirements

IOb-SoC-Versat is a system on chip based on IOb-SoC, which uses IOb-Versat as a peripheral for testing the latter. Refer to the IOb-SoC and IOb-Versat to install all the required dependencies.
