  • How to access GPIO from HPS?
    4 projects | /r/FPGA | 2 Jun 2023
    All signals are by default internal in qsys if you don't explicitly export them. So, if you want something out of the FPGA e.g. GPIO/LED you must export them. The column named export in qsys makes the signals appear in input/output ports of the module instance so that you can put them in top module i/o and assign pin locations using assignment editor. Partially explained here: https://github.com/zangman/de10-nano/blob/eef52965cba1386c441b738010e149589b8a0ed5/docs/Simple-Hardware-Adder_-Wiring-the-components.md

    If you follow the simple adder tutorial in the link you will find answers to most of your questions. PIO is explained here: https://github.com/zangman/de10-nano/blob/eef52965cba1386c441b738010e149589b8a0ed5/docs/Simple-Hardware-Adder_-Custom-Avalon-MM-Components.md But, I insist that you should start from the beginning. That tutorial includes how to write a linux drivers for your leds.

    what kind of help do you need? Given the wording, I guess you are talking about intel FPGAs. In that case, this is a nice guide even if you don't have that specific board: https://github.com/zangman/de10-nano/wiki

    Anyways, feel free to just download and use the debian and archlinux images, perhaps you may still find them useful :).

    Congratulations on the de10-nano and that's very cool of terasic! Just a shameless plug that if you are interested in exploring more on the fpga side, I maintain a beginners guide to de10-nano here: https://github.com/zangman/de10-nano/wiki

    Btw - just noticed you're using the de10-nano. In case you want to learn more about the SoC side of things, I have an absolute beginner's guide here - https://github.com/zangman/de10-nano/wiki. It walks you through the steps to building your own linux OS and writing your first HPS to FPGA project.
