Configuration
Please use swervolf_nexys ID for board option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File):
[env:swervolf_nexys]
platform = chipsalliance
board = swervolf_nexys
You can override default RVfpga: Digilent Nexys A7 settings per build environment using
board_*** option, where *** is a JSON object path from
board manifest swervolf_nexys.json. For example,
board_build.mcu, board_build.f_cpu, etc.
[env:swervolf_nexys]
platform = chipsalliance
board = swervolf_nexys
; change microcontroller
board_build.mcu =
; change MCU frequency
board_build.f_cpu = 320000000L
Debugging
Debugging - “1-click” solution for debugging with a zero configuration.
Warning
You will need to install debug tool drivers depending on your system. Please click on compatible debug tool below for the further instructions and configuration information.
You can switch between debugging Tools & Debug Probes using debug_tool option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File).
RVfpga: Digilent Nexys A7 has on-board debug probe and IS READY for debugging. You don’t need to use/buy external debug probe.
