LinuxCNC-RIO - RealtimeIO for LinuxCNC based on FPGA (ICE40 / ECP5)

Ups, I have just seen the correct IO standard can be configured /edit in the plugin of the blink module in the riocore software. Hence, it is not necessary to do it manually in the pins.cst file.

i have removed the IO_TYPE from the cst pinfile generation,
you need to checkout the newest dev branch and generate the files new

Now, after the first start of the generator, a file is created:

riocore/toolchains.json

there you can enter the paths to your toolchains, these are then transferred to the makefile.

under windows please note that backslashes must be double

 

so you do not need to add the toolchains to your enviroment variables
 

I pulled the dev branch.
It creates the toolchains.json file and I added:

{
"gowin": "C:\\Gowin\\Gowin_V1.9.10.03_Education_x64\\IDE",
"diamond": "",
"vivado": "",
"quartus": "",
"icestorm": "",
"ise": ""
}

However, it does not compile. It gives me following error:

Der Befehl "make" ist entweder falsch geschrieben oder
konnte nicht gefunden werden.

Furthermore, the graphic in the tab Overview is completely gone.

As I have no hardware yet, I am wondering if it is good decision to remove IO_TYPE completely.

It was just my mistake because I have not realized that it can be set within your tool.

The IDE shows me in the Pin Report that all pins are on LVCMOS18 now.
