Setup your machine for the ESP tutorial

The setup consists in performing the following steps from the ESP How to: setup guide:

• Software packets
  • Install the packets for your OS (CentOS 7, Ubuntu 18.04, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.8) listed in the Software packets section of the How to: setup guide under the labels “Miscellaneous”, “Python”, “Perl”, “CAD tools and SW toolchains dependencies”.
• Clone the ESP repository
  • Follow the instructions in the ESP repository section of the How to: setup guide.
• Software toolchain
  • Install both Leon3 and RISC-V toolchains by following the instructions in the Software toolchain section of the How to: setup guide.
• Environment variables

  • In the terminal window where you use ESP set the environment variables by following the instructions in the Environment variables section of the How to: setup guide. You only need the variables for RISC-V and Leon3. You should also set the XILINX_VIVADO to any value.

      export XILINX_VIVADO=/
    
    # RISC-V
      # e.g. <riscv_path> = /opt/riscv
      export RISCV=<riscv_path>
      export PATH=$PATH:<riscv_path>/bin
    
    # Leon3
      # e.g. <leon3_path> = /opt/leon
      export PATH=$PATH:<leon3_path>/bin
      export PATH=$PATH:<leon3_path>/mklinuximg
      export PATH=$PATH:<leon3_path>/sparc-elf/bin
    

ESP is supported on the following OS distributions: CentOS 7, Ubuntu 18.04, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.8. Other Linux distributions could work too, but they may require additional setup effort.
