The apollo
command line utility
The cynthion
distribution provides the apollo
command-line utility,
that can be used to perform various simple functions useful in development;
including simple JTAG operations, SVF playback, manipulating the board’s flash,
and debug communications.
$ apollo
usage: apollo [-h] command ...
Apollo FPGA Configuration / Debug tool
positional arguments:
command
info Print device info.
jtag-scan Prints information about devices on the onboard JTAG chain.
flash-info Prints information about the FPGA's attached configuration
flash.
flash-erase Erases the contents of the FPGA's flash memory.
flash-program Programs the target bitstream onto the FPGA's configuration
flash.
flash-fast Programs a bitstream onto the FPGA's configuration flash using
a SPI bridge.
flash-read Reads the contents of the attached FPGA's configuration flash.
svf Plays a given SVF file over JTAG.
configure Uploads a bitstream to the device's FPGA over JTAG.
reconfigure Requests the attached ECP5 reconfigure itself from its SPI flash.
force-offline Forces the board's FPGA offline.
spi Sends the given list of bytes over debug-SPI, and returns the
response.
spi-inv Sends the given list of bytes over SPI with inverted CS.
spi-reg Reads or writes to a provided register over the debug-SPI.
jtag-spi Sends the given list of bytes over SPI-over-JTAG, and returns the
response.
jtag-reg Reads or writes to a provided register of JTAG-tunneled debug SPI.
leds Sets the specified pattern for the Debug LEDs.
optional arguments:
