Building the firmware

This firmware is using the Hog framework as a build system:

Hog allows for multiple projects to happily coexist within a single repository, allowing sharing of source code between OH + GEM backend + CSC FED, as well as managing the deployment to the numerous hardware platforms that are supported.

In general, the process to build firmware from a fresh checkout consists of:

# shortcut to initialize git submodules
make init
# creates a Vivado / ISE project
make create_<project_name>
# Launch synthesis + implementation + bitstream generation
make impl_<project_name>

# Alternatively the above can be achieved by:
# creates a Vivado / ISE project
Hog/Do CREATE <project name>
# Launches synthesis + implementation
Hog/Do [-recreate] WORKFLOW <project name>

The available projects can be seen as directories in the Top/ folder. Hog will also report a list of projects if you type Hog/Do LIST.
