[> Intro

The LiteX-Acorn-Baseboard is a baseboard developed around the SQRL’s Acorn board (or Nite/LiteFury) expanding their possibilities with:

  • A PCIe X1 connector.
  • A SFP connector.
  • A M2 SATA slot.
  • An EPC5 FPGA (connected to the Acorn through a SerDes link) and providing:
  • A JTAG/UART port.
  • A 1Gbps Ethernet port (RGMII).
  • A HDMI Out port.
  • A SDCard slot.
  • 4 PMODs.
  • 2 Buttons.
  • A LCD.
  • 2 SATA connectors (connected to the ECP5’s SerDeses).

The board is mainly intended to be used as a development board for LiteX: From regression testing to development of new features; but can also
be a nice and cheap FPGA development board for developers willing to play with PCIe, SFP, SATA, etc… or wanting to create an standalone and
open source Linux platforms.

[> Prerequisites

  • Python3, Vivado.
  • Either a Vivado-compatible JTAG cable (native or XVCD), or OpenOCD.

[> Installing LiteX

$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/enjoy-digital/litex/master/litex_setup.py
$ chmod +x litex_setup.py
$ sudo ./litex_setup.py init install

… or follow the installation instructions if the LiteX Wiki: https://github.com/enjoy-digital/litex/wiki/Installation
