ARM V2C-DAPLink for DesignStart FPGA

Overview

The ARM V2C-DAPLink for DesignStart FPGA shield can be used to provide DAPLink debug access to the ARM DesignStart FPGA reference designs implemented on the Digilent Arty.

In addition to DAPLink debug access, the V2C-DAPLink shield provides the following hardware features:

• QSPI NOR flash

• Micro-SD card slot

Programming

When using the V2C-DAPLink shield with the Cfg jumper (J2) open, the CPU will boot from ITCM and flashing can be performed automatically. The console is routed to USB connector J10 on the Digilent Arty. For example:

# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b arty_a7_arm_designstart_m1 samples/hello_world -- -DSHIELD=v2c_daplink
west flash

When using the V2C-DAPLink shield with the Cfg jumper (J2) closed, the CPU will boot from the V2C-DAPLink QSPI NOR flash. The console is routed to USB connector J1 on the V2C-DAPLink. Flashing needs to be done manually by copying the resulting zephyr/zephyr.bin file to the USB mass storage device provided by the V2C-DAPLink shield:

# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b arty_a7_arm_designstart_m1 samples/hello_world -- -DSHIELD=v2c_daplink_cfg
