Never fooled with jtag, so I don't know.

But if you have a linux pc with a working epp parport, mesaflash can put 
the firmware into the fpga using the pc and a parport cable. The right 
firmware converts the parport 26 pin header on the 7i90 into an spi 
interface, so without a reset procedure described in the docs you will 
not be able read it back out on the pc.

Then you need to stop the raspbian spi driver forever, then make from a 
board link I've sent, the adapter that connects to the header on the pi, 
and gives you the 26 pin socket for a jumper cable that plugs into the 
header socket the adapter puts on the pi. Very short jumper, mine might 
be an inch long. That means the jumper isn't long enough to twist so the 
pi is mounted on tall standoffs, upside down, with an old video card fan 
under it, running on the 5 volts running the pi. your hal file should 
loadrt the rpspi.so driver.

Ping me again when you have done that. ISTR I had to add a 10 pf cap on 
one of the spi lines on thebottom of the pi3, if needed I can send a 
pix. But lets do this in sequence.

Re: [Emc-users] Rpi4B_7i90

2021-03-09 Thread Ralph Stirling 
Dave, I see a discussion on openocd and rpi4 on
the raspberrypi forum:

https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=252551

There seems to be a couple of different problems being
addressed, but some claims of success.  I'm sorry I can't
test any of the solutions with a 7i90, since I don't have
a working pi 4 available at present.

Hi all,
I'm trying to get an Rpi4b -> 7i90 going.

Ralph Stirling made an interface board for the pi that allows one to
flash the spi.

The following is copy of the procedure:


On Rpi:

$ git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/openocd/code openocd
$ cd openocd
$ ./bootstrap
$ ./configure --enable-maintainer-mode --enable-bcm2835gpio
--enable-sysfsgpio
$ make -j4
$ sudo make install

Go into Raspbian Setup from the application menu, and turn off SPI
device driver.  Openocd has a builtin driver.

Use the openocd_rpi.sh script to load bitstreams via jtag
into the FPGA itself. This is not permanent, so you need
to follow this with mesaflash to put it in the EEPROM.

$openocd_rpi.sh whatever_spi_bitstream.bit

Now go back in to Raspbian Setup and turn on the SPI driver. You can now
use mesaflash to flash the EEPROM.

$ sudo mesaflash --device 7i90 --addr /dev/spidev0.0 --spi --write
whatever_spi_bitstream.bit

I don't recall whether SPI needs to be enabled or disabled
after this for hostmot2 to run in linuxcnc, but it is easy
enough to try each way.

Ha! Not quite.

Google gives hits but none of them go deep enough to fix my problems.

Clearly this is set up for bcm2835 eg. Rpi3b however just editing the
bcm numbers to Rpi4b 2711 doesn't work.
Deeper changes are clearly needed.
Can anyone supply the relevant files for bcm2711?

Comments and guidance appreciated.
