first steps

Here I will try to document correct order to read documentation to get setup for ULX3S:

https://github.com/emard/ulx3s-bin/blob/master/README.md

udev rule

ujprog

git clone https://github.com/f32c/tools f32c-tools
cd f32c-tools/ujprog/
dpavlin@x200:/mnt/nuc/FPGA/f32c-tools/ujprog$ rm ujprog
dpavlin@x200:/mnt/nuc/FPGA/f32c-tools/ujprog$ make -f Makefile.linux
cc -Wall -D__linux__ -std=gnu99 -static ujprog.c /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libftdi.a /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libusb.a -o ujprog
dpavlin@x200:/mnt/nuc/FPGA/f32c-tools/ujprog$ sudo cp ujprog /usr/local/bin/

create udev rule

passthru to access esp32

dpavlin@x200:/mnt/nuc/FPGA/ulx3s-bin/fpga/passthru/passthru-v20-85f$ ujprog -j flash ulx3s_85f_passthru.bit

update size of your FPGA

dpavlin@x200:/mnt/nuc/FPGA/ulx3s-bin$ usb-jtag/linux-amd64/ftx_prog --product "ULX3S FPGA 85K v3.0.3"

power cycle board to get new usb id, test that it's supported by ujprog

dpavlin@x200:/mnt/nuc/FPGA/ulx3s-bin$ ujprog -r

install micropython

https://github.com/emard/esp32ecp5/

dpavlin@nuc:/nuc/FPGA$ git clone https://github.com/emard/esp32ecp5/

It's important to erase flash or micropyhton will complain about corrupt fat filesystem like:

FAT filesystem appears to be corrupted. If you had important data there, you
may want to make a flash snapshot to try to recover it. Otherwise, perform
factory reprogramming of MicroPython firmware (completely erase flash, followed
by firmware programming).

Welcome to MicroPython on the ESP32!

For generic online docs please visit http://docs.micropython.org/

For access to the hardware use the 'machine' module:

import machine
pin12 = machine.Pin(12, machine.Pin.OUT)
pin12.value(1)
pin13 = machine.Pin(13, machine.Pin.IN, machine.Pin.PULL_UP)
print(pin13.value())
i2c = machine.I2C(scl=machine.Pin(21), sda=machine.Pin(22))
i2c.scan()
i2c.writeto(addr, b'1234')
i2c.readfrom(addr, 4)

Basic WiFi configuration:

import network
sta_if = network.WLAN(network.STA_IF); sta_if.active(True)
sta_if.scan()                             # Scan for available access points
sta_if.connect("<AP_name>", "<password>") # Connect to an AP
sta_if.isconnected()                      # Check for successful connection

Control commands:
  CTRL-A        -- on a blank line, enter raw REPL mode
  CTRL-B        -- on a blank line, enter normal REPL mode
  CTRL-C        -- interrupt a running program
  CTRL-D        -- on a blank line, do a soft reset of the board
  CTRL-E        -- on a blank line, enter paste mode
