Noob building a TF534

Post by Lynxman »

I just finished soldering up my TF534. I could never design it myself but I love building stuff. I haven't received my sockets and CPU yet and am also waiting for a Xilinx programmer. A little confused about the software because it seens excessive to install 20 GB of software to program a CPLD. :)

I installed a 33 MHz oscillator for now and will try 50 if it works with 33.

That all looks rather nice, well done and good luck on it working first time.

Programming the CPLD's are probably best done with a raspberry pi if you only need to do the one.
You can probably wire, compile and flash with the pi faster than you can download the ISE software, let alone install it and get it working :)

Good luck with that for sure :)

I bought programmer, and reverted back to RPi very quickly.

I've got an unused Rpi. Is there a guide on how to do that?

I found it: https://github.com/terriblefire/tf530/w ... spberry-Pi

Can i program them without a CPU installed? I haven't received my CPU and sockets (two sockets, will probably build the next version as well).

Almost done with the Rpi.

What a bloody chore linux is. How do I install lsb-release and where can I get a compiled version of xc3prog? I don't have wifi on the Rpi.

EDIT:
Found an ethernet cable and was able to install lsb-release. xc3prog no longer recognized sysfsgpio though. after failing to run "sudo xc3sprog -c sysfsgpio" It lists the known cables but sysfsgpio isn't there.

Yes. But you need everything powered up on the board

There are pre-canned images with everything you need on this forum. If you are struggling maybe @supaduper can link you them.

Honestly find Linux to be the simplest OS ever. Apt get grabs everything you need mostly.

Thanks. I searched and found his preinstalled pie image and will try that.

I also tried sysfsgpio_creator, which is in the cablelist.txt, but that's not working either.
