# Fomu FPGA Tools
The EVT version of Fomu is a "stretch" PCB with a Raspberry Pi header. Additionally, the factory test jig for production versions of Fomu has pins that match up with a test jig with the same pinout.
These tools can be used to control an FPGA and its accompanying SPI flash chip.
## Building
To build this repository, simply run `make`.
## Loading a Bitstream
The most basic usecase is to load a program into configuration RAM. This is a very quick process, and can be used for rapid prototyping.
To load `top.bin`, use the `-f` argument:
```sh
# ./fomu-flash -f top.bin
```
This will reset the FPGA, reset the SPI flash, load the bitstream into the FPGA, and then start running the program.
## Programming SPI Flash
To write a binary file to SPI flash, use `-w`:
```sh
# ./fomu-flash -w top.bin # Write top.bin to SPI Flash
# ./fomu-flash -r # Reset the FPGA
```
This will erase just enough of the SPI to hold the new binary file, then flash the binary to SPI.
It will not reset the FPGA. To do that, you must re-run with `-r`.
## Verifying SPI flash
You can verify the SPI flash was programmered with the `-v` command:
```sh
# ./tomu-flash -v top.bin
```
## Checking SPI Flash was Written
You can "peek" at 256 bytes of SPI with `-p [offset]`. This can be used to quickly verify that something was written.
