Dockerized FPGA toolchain experiments

Special thanks to the author of the Dockerized FPGA toolchains blog post.

Lattice Diamond

Basic dockerization scripts for Lattice Diamond 3.13 can be found in lattice-diamond/.

Initial setup

1. Run docker build -t diamond .
2. Download and copy these files into the work folder:
   • diamond_3_13-base-56-2-x86_64-linux.rpm
3. Copy your license.dat to the work folder
4. Run ./install.sh

This should build a docker image containing a working Lattice Diamond installation set up for your current user.

Usage

Run ./run.sh to start Lattice Diamond. The script sets up X11 forwarding, mounts a persistent volume at /home/youruser, mounts your host-side home directory as a writable volume at /home/youruser/home.

Debugging Lattice Diamond problems

Run ./root.sh to start a root bash shell.

Lattice iCEcube2

Basic dockerization scripts for Lattice iCEcube2 2020.12 can be found in lattice-icecube2/.

Initial setup

1. Run docker build -t icecube2 .
2. Download and copy these files into the work folder:
   • iCEcube2setup_Dec_10_2020_2012 (not the zip file you can download but the installer file inside it!)
3. Copy your license.dat to the work folder
4. Run ./install.sh
5. Install iCEcube2 to /opt/docker-fpga/icecube2 when prompted. Ignore the warning about the directory already existing, skip the license file selection, and uncheck the box "Launch iCEcube2 now".

This should build a docker image containing a working Lattice iCEcube2 installation set up for your current user.

Usage

Run ./run.sh to start Lattice iCEcube2. The script sets up X11 forwarding, mounts a persistent volume at /home/youruser, mounts your host-side home directory as a writable volume at /home/youruser/home.

Debugging Lattice iCEcube2 problems

Run ./root.sh to start a root bash shell.
