[yocto] [meta-raspberry] HDL tools for Raspberry PI 2 B

[Edward Vidal]

Hi all,
I need recipes for the GTKWAVE, Iverilog, and (Yosys, arachne-pnr, and icebox). The missing packages are compiled on target  P2 B.   Plus the recipes that I already have working below.
These were built on a custom image for the Raspberry Pi 2 B with Yocto.
The following are the recipes that I have  created
#    meta/recipes-devtools/python/PyPubSub_3.1.3.bb
#    meta/recipes-devtools/python/intelhex_1.5.bb
#    meta/recipes-devtools/python/python-bitstring_3.1.3.bb
#    meta/recipes-devtools/python/pyusb_1.0.0a3.bb
#    meta/recipes-devtools/python/rhea_0.1.0.bb
#    meta/recipes-devtools/python/xsconnect_0.1.3.bb
#    meta/recipes-devtools/python/xstools_0.1.30.bb
Most are the depends are for XSTOOLS.  This supports the XuLA2-LX9 & XuLA2-LX25 with StickIt-MB.
http://www.xess.com/  This would be a great addition to the Yocto tools.  What are the steps to add recipes to the Yocto Project?  I am using a Fido branch of Yocto that fetch on 07/20/15.The image is created in 4hrs. on 6 core AMD running Ubuntu 12.04.
I just completed  building the tools (Yosys, arachne-pnr, and icebox)  for the Lattice ICE-40.   The complete image fits on a 4GB SD card.

With the board that XESS is making this will be a standalone HDL development system with GTKWave, XSTOOLs, MyDHDl, Iverilog, arachne-pnr(place and route), Yosys (Yosys is a framework for Verilog RTL synthesis), icebox(this will not be needed since XESS is going to push the bit file with GPIO instead of USB), and MyHDL.  These  fit on a 4GB SD card.

Dave Vandenbout completed the layout of the ICE-40 board a few days ago.

    Lattice iCE40-HX8K FPGA in 256-pin BGA.
    32 MByte SDRAM (16M x 16).
    Serial configuration flash (at least 2 Mbit).
    Three Grove connectors.
    Two PMOD connectors.
    One 20x2 header with 3.3V, ground and 18 FPGA I/Os.
    Two SATA headers (for differential signals; don't know if they would work with SATA HDDs.)
    DIP switch with four SPST switches.
    Two momentary pushbuttons.
    Four LEDs.
    32 KByte HAT EEPROM.
    40-pin RPi GPIO header.

Chris Felton provided MyHDL code to take python generates a verilog or VHDL and the synthesis, 
place and route and creates a bin file.
Below are the bench marks for Pi 2B and 2 systems running Ubuntu 12.04.

Yocto Pi 2B    
    
real    0m20.943s
user    0m12.210s
sys    0m0.500s
    
Ubuntu 2 core    
real    0m5.310s
user    0m1.865s
sys    0m0.197s
    
Ubuntu 6 core    
    
real    0m3.956s
user    0m1.093s
sys    0m0.120s

These were built on a custom image for the Raspberry Pi 2 B with Yocto. 

These tools would apply to other boards such a Zynq 7000.

I am also running openCV with 2 C920 cameras.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
