plutosdr-dev

This repository allows you to modify the ADALM-PLUTO firmware without changing the submodules of the Analog Devices plutosdr-fw repository. The build script is completely rewritten and made faster with the following features:

• The FPGA code can be modified and built in the plutosdr-dev directory.
• The linux, buildroot, hdl and u-boot are built in the plutosdr-fw directory.
• All build artifacts are stored in a build directory.
• The FPGA project can be modified and compiled with the Vivado GUI.
• You can run make linux-menuconfig or make buildroot-menuconfig to configure your environment.

Usage

git clone https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/plutosdr-fw.git --recurse-submodules
git clone https://github.com/mmaroti/plutosdr-dev.git
cd plutosdr-dev
export PLUTOSDR_FW=../plutosdr-fw
source /opt/Xilinx/Vivado/2019.1/settings64.sh
make

The code is released under its original license. It was tested on plutosdr-fw version v0.33 (8af5c0ad) with Vivado 2019.1.

Issues

• If you encounter the WARNING: [Vivado 12-508] No pins matched 'get_pins -hierarchical -filter {NAME =~ *i_rx_data_iddr/C || NAME =~ *i_rx_data_iddr/D}', then you have probably deleted the untracked git file plutosrd-fw/hdl/library/axi_ad9361/bd/bd.tcl making the repository dirty. This file is generated and should have been listed in their .gitignore. Just clean the axi_ad9361 library with make clean in that folder and it will be regenerated.

• Currently only the pluto.dfu is generated and the bootloaders are not. You do not need to touch the bootloaders, or just use the original repository. I am not responsible for the use of this library if you damage your Pluto. I recommend to program your Pluto with the make dfu-ram command. Just unplug it afterwards and it will be restored to its original firmware.

• The rootfs.cpio.gz is always rebuilt if you create a new commit. This is intended, as the git versions are embedded in the firmware. After logging in, you can view all git versions with cat /opt/VERSIONS.
