ARRadio No-OS Quick Start Guide
This quick start guide shows you how to run the No-OS (baremetal) application on the ARRadio/C5SoC Kit. This guide may appear very simple, and it is if you have the right platform which is a Linux machine. This guide does NOT use 'armcc' the ARM compiler nor the ARM-DS5 (paid license). It uses the GNU variant 'gcc' to compile the no-OS application. It builds the bsp image with u-boot and then programs the fpga and runs the application using u-boot script.
Requirements
- A host machine with all the tools installed and be available on a command line (see note below)
- ARRadio
- Cyclone-V SoC Kit
- SD-card & USB cables
It is absolutely vital that you have an environment that is capable of supporting this flow. We exclusively use Linux platforms (Ubuntu and Red Hat specifically). Our understanding of operating systems and tools are limited. So while it may be possible to run these things on a Windows machine, we do not know for sure it will. It is up to you to choose and setup your platform to run these tools. If a tool returns an error, try to google that error, most likely you will find an answer (may not be a solution) very quickly.
Download/Clone Repositories
You may need to replace 'dev' with a known release below.
[some-dir]> git clone -b dev https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/hdl [some-dir]> git clone -b dev https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/no-OS
You should now have the hdl and no-OS folders in the 'some-dir' folder.
Build HDL project
[some-dir]> make -C hdl/projects/arrado/c5soc
If built successfully you should have the 'sof' file for the Cyclone-V device.
Build No-OS project
[some-dir]> make -C no-OS/arrado/c5soc
If built successfully you should have the 'rbf' and 'bin' files for SoC kit.
Prepare a Micro SD Card for first time
The following procedure is one among many methods in achieving its goal. You may skip this section, combine multiple sections in a single flow or do something entirely different. It is all up to you to decide and follow a method. The only and important thing is that you must be comfortable in your chosen method. Do not mindlessly copy and execute these commands. If a command is missing “Google It” first, understand its function and either install it or find an alternative in your system.
In this part, you are going to overwrite a drive (if you aren't careful you will overwrite your machine's drive and loose any OS or files on it).
You need to find out your SD card device (here, mine is sdb). Also you may need to unmount it first.
The card must be partitioned in certain way (need raw and fat). The commands to do this are below, I have also included my terminal log as a reference.
[some-dir]> sudo sfdisk /dev/sdX < no-OS/arradio/c5soc/format.sfdisk
[~/github/no-OS/arradio/c5soc]> sudo sfdisk /dev/sdb < format.sfdisk Checking that no-one is using this disk right now ...

Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table. Syncing disks.
We may need to format the newly created partition.
[some-dir]> sudo mkfs -t vfat /dev/sdX1
[~/github/no-OS/arradio/c5soc]> sudo mkfs -t vfat /dev/sdb1 mkfs.fat 3.0.28 (2015-05-16)
Unmount and eject the sd-card. It is only formatted now. You don't need to format the same SD card again, simply copy the files if you have one already formatted.
[some-dir]> sudo udisksctl unmount -b /dev/sdX1 [some-dir]> sudo udisksctl power-off -b /dev/sdX
[~/github/no-OS/arradio/c5soc]> sudo udisksctl unmount -b /dev/sdb1 Unmounted /dev/sdb1. [~/github/no-OS/arradio/c5soc]> sudo udisksctl power-off -b /dev/sdb
Copy system image (U-boot & Initialization) to SD Card
Insert the formatted SD card in your PC. The u-boot binary goes into the raw partition. These steps needs to be repeated ONLY if you have modified the HPS core in HDL and/or BSP sources.
[some-dir]> sudo dd if=no-OS/arradio/c5soc/bsp/arradio_c5soc_uboot.bin of=/dev/sdX3 [some-dir]> sudo sync
[~/github/no-OS/arradio/c5soc]> sudo dd if=bsp/arradio_c5soc_uboot.bin of=/dev/sdb3 977+1 records in 977+1 records out 500468 bytes (500 kB, 489 KiB) copied, 0.0619104 s, 8.1 MB/s [~/github/no-OS/arradio/c5soc]> sudo sync
Unmount and eject the sd-card.
[some-dir]> sudo udisksctl unmount -b /dev/sdX1 [some-dir]> sudo udisksctl power-off -b /dev/sdX
[~/github/no-OS/arradio/c5soc]> sudo udisksctl unmount -b /dev/sdb1 Unmounted /dev/sdb1. [~/github/no-OS/arradio/c5soc]> sudo udisksctl power-off -b /dev/sdb
Copy FPGA, Application image, and U-boot script to SD Card
Insert the formatted SD card in your PC. The OS should mount the FAT partition automatically. The bit, elf, and script files goes to this fat partition. These steps needs to be repeated ONLY if you have modified the QSYS (or FPAG) design in HDL and/or the no-OS sources.
[some-dir]> cp no-OS/arradio/c5soc/hw/arradio_c5soc.rbf <sdX1-mount-directory> [some-dir]> cp no-OS/arradio/c5soc/sw/arradio_c5soc.bin <sdX1-mount-directory> [some-dir]> cp no-OS/arradio/c5soc/u-boot.scr <sdX1-mount-directory>
[~/github/no-OS/arradio/c5soc]> cp hw/arradio_c5soc.rbf /media/rkutty/08DA-432B/ [~/github/no-OS/arradio/c5soc]> cp sw/arradio_c5soc.bin /media/rkutty/08DA-432B/ [~/github/no-OS/arradio/c5soc]> cp u-boot.scr /media/rkutty/08DA-432B/
You may do this using make.
[~/github/no-OS/arradio/c5soc]> make sd-dir=/media/rkutty/08DA-432B/
Unmount and eject the sd-card.
[some-dir]> sudo udisksctl unmount -b /dev/sdX1 [some-dir]> sudo udisksctl power-off -b /dev/sdX
[~/github/no-OS/arradio/c5soc]> sudo udisksctl unmount -b /dev/sdb1 Unmounted /dev/sdb1. [~/github/no-OS/arradio/c5soc]> sudo udisksctl power-off -b /dev/sdb
Running the no-OS software
Insert the sd-card into the Cyclone V SoC kit and power cycle the board. You should also connect the UART. The UART log indicates u-boot loading the FPGA bit files, enabling the HPS-FPGA bridges and running the no-OS application.

The design supports both 2R2T mode (AD9361 only) and 1R1T mode (AD9361 and AD9364). The rest of the UART log will be different accordingly.
Running the no-OS software (2R2T)
The default make builds the software in 2R2T mode. You may make sure such is the case by looking at these two variables.
-DAD9361_DEVICE=1 -DAD9364_DEVICE=0
Here is the full make command.

Running the no-OS software (1R1T)
To build the design in 1R1T mode, invoke make as follows.
make DEFINE=1R1T
You may verify the mode by checking the variables.
-DAD9361_DEVICE=0 -DAD9364_DEVICE=1
Here is the full make command.

Switching between 2R2T & 1R1T mode(s)
After the first run, the build remembers (until you do a clean) your mode of choice and subsequent builds (in case you modify the sources) assume this mode as default. As a precaution, always cross check the compiler flags mentioned above with your desired mode.
[some-dir]> make -C no-OS/arrado/c5soc DEFINE=2R2T /* building in 2R2T mode */ [some-dir]> make -C no-OS/arrado/c5soc /* build assumes 2R2T mode */ [some-dir]> make -C no-OS/arrado/c5soc DEFINE=1R1T /* building in 1R1T mode */ [some-dir]> make -C no-OS/arrado/c5soc /* build assumes 1R1T mode */
