THe desktop image is mainly to demonstrate how responsive the kwin/lxqt desktop is, and show off that Axis runs fine on the de10-Nano(with the de10_Nano_fb_Cramps bitfile), to put to a wider audience that local display is a TRUE option ... :-)
This readme will get your display up and running if you follow the steps: readme_hdmi-desktop_image.md https://drive.google.com/open?id=1rLFGJgvm_q9CqeKDvfdKwD5T9ZRUgJaY 1. The frame-buffer core needs to be programmed into the fpga before the kernel starts (from u boot). 2. You cannot reprogram the fpga while linux is running (the screen will go black). Hence the no_firmware load config example. 3. ... see below--> On Sunday, 15 April 2018 00:10:22 UTC+2, mugginsac wrote: > > > Michael, > > I just wrote a uSD of the desktop image with Etcher.

(ie Quartus project) The framebuffer core i initially only added to the Cramps flavor de10_nano quartus project this emulates a 5i25, the GPIO_0 pinout is here: Cramps2Nano.pdf <https://github.com/the-snowwhite/socfpga-kicad/blob/master/Cramps2nano-soc/Cramps2Nano.pdf> And here: PIN_3x24.vhd <https://github.com/machinekit/mksocfpga/blob/master/HW/hm2/config/DE10_Nano_FB_Cramps/PIN_3x24.vhd> If you are using the db25 adaptor board: With some persuasion it would be a reasonably small amount of work to add the de10 nano board with framebuffer somewhere around here: DE0_Nano_SoC_DB25 <https://github.com/machinekit/mksocfpga/tree/master/HW/QuartusProjects/DE0_Nano_SoC_DB25> > Thanks, > Alan > > > On Friday, April 13, 2018 at 6:10:21 AM UTC-7, Michael Brown wrote: >> >> @Schooner and others >> >> OK I have now replaced the desktop image, with an enhanced version with >> less initial setup and updated the read me file accordingly. >> >> This new image uses the fw_setenv / fw_printenv functionality so the u >> boot variables can be set from linux (also in chroot, with some fuss...) >> >> Best wishes >> Michael B. >> >> On Monday, 9 April 2018 12:39:55 UTC+2, Schooner wrote: >>> >>> Well done Michael, >>> >>> Just tested it and works fine on a DE0-NANO too. >>> >>> If you have no objections I will add them to the images at >>> http://deb.machinekit.io/uploads/de0-nano/ >>> >>> Notes for anyone looking to test. >>> >>> Instructions are in the file readme-console-image.md >>> DO use bmaptool to write to SD card. dd does not seem to cope too well, >>> but bmap works fine. >>> >>> I used the console image and once the ethaddr etc was set etc. just >>> needed to log in; >>> $ sudo apt update >>> $ sudo apt install machinekit-rt-preempt machinekit socfpga-rbf >>> and I was up and running the socfpga-stepper sim, easy as that! >>> >>> >>> >>> On 07/04/18 00:56, Michael Brown wrote: >>> >>> Just a FYI that I have released 2 new stretch based images that are much >>> more stable than the previous Jessie ones. >>> >>> U-boot 2018.01, 4.9.76-ltsi-rt kernel >>> >>> Also one is a desktop image running LXQT with kwin and even though there >>> is some latency in loading, I find the windows to be much more responsive >>> with instantainios drag around etc. >>> And axis seems to run quite well with preview (see video demo). >>> >>> >>> https://github.com/the-snowwhite/soc-image-buildscripts/releases/tag/Release_2.0 >>> >>> >>> On Tuesday, 29 August 2017 15:05:32 UTC+2, Michael Brown wrote: >>>> >>>> Michael Brown has invited you to *contribute to* the following shared >>>> folder: >>>> DE10-DE0-Nano >>>> <https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BwyLvgyVIdi8ZG1vYTFzc01EOXc?usp=sharing_eil&ts=59a5669b> >>>> [image: Sender's profile photo]DE10-SoC Machinekit demo image with >>>> framebuffer >>>> This image also works with the Atlas (DE0-Nano-Soc) board(tested) >>>> Open >>>> <https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BwyLvgyVIdi8ZG1vYTFzc01EOXc?usp=sharing_eip&ts=59a5669b> >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> Google Drive: Have all your files within reach from any device. >>>> Google Inc. 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA >>>> [image: >>>> Logo for Google Drive] <https://drive.google.com> >>>> >>> -- >>> website: http://www.machinekit.io blog: http://blog.machinekit.io >>> github: https://github.com/machinekit >>> --- >>> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google >>> Groups "Machinekit" group. >>> To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send >>> an email to [email protected]. >>> Visit this group at https://groups.google.com/group/machinekit. >>> For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. >>> >>> >>> -- website: http://www.machinekit.io blog: http://blog.machinekit.io github: https://github.com/machinekit --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Machinekit" group.
