Description
With the increasing adoption of SoC-based systems in CERN Accelerator and Technology sector (ATS), new initiatives have been put in place to ensure that systems of similar form share as many components (hardware, gateware and software) as possible. These initiatives are grouped by the ATS SoC Framework Project, now under development. The first part of this talk gives an overview of some of the common challenges users face when using a SoC in the accelerator complex and it describes the tools the framework will provide to speed up and standardise the development of SoC-based applications.
The second part of the talk focuses on one of these initiatives, the DI/OT framework new standardized build system, which has been developed to generate boot images for these platforms. This build system is modular, expandable and designed to streamline the HDL synthesis and compilation of Xilinx SoC-based projects, with strong emphasis on re-usability and standardization. It is also CI-friendly, aligning with CERN IT's new CI4FPGA developments for CI runners and Docker images.
