Libero SoC Design Suite installation in Windows 10Īnd you wonder why people want open-source tools! Anyway… Let’s try again with Windows 10…
OPEN SOURCE FLEXLM INSTALL
The next option would be to install Ubuntu 18.04 on a USB drive, but seeing some features are not supported, I decided to switch my current internal HDD with one with Windows 10 to keep things safe, and avoid wasting even more time.
OPEN SOURCE FLEXLM PC
I first thought about installing Ubuntu 18.04 in VirtualBox, but the minimum requirements to use Libero SoC including having 16GB RAM, and my PC only has 16 GB RAM, so a virtual machine would have less than that. There are a few features not working on Ubuntu 18.04. I tried it, but it would not work for me either. The Job Manager tool is not supported.)Īt this point, I noticed somebody posted instructions to install Libero SoC 2021.v1 on Ubuntu 20.04. FlashPro5 programmer is not supported with Ubuntu.

OPEN SOURCE FLEXLM SOFTWARE
The software installation will already take a while (I think about one+ hour), and after it will check for the required packages, which will also take a while…Īnd I had to manually install some packages… Not sure why we have a graphical user interface, doing everything from the command line might be just as convenient… No need to wait for the license to arrive, we can carry on with the installation. I was asked to enter the MAC address of the server, and then I got a confirm message: It’s a little confusing as there are a bunch of those, but considering I read I needed a Silver license for the board, and I’m running Linux, I went with a “Libero Silver 1 Year Floating License for Windows/Linux”. We’re also being asked for a common directory, and I type /home/jaufranc/microsemi/common. You should install the program in a directory where you have R/W permissions, and installation with the root user/sudo is not recommended. This will start a GUI to install the software.Īfter accepting a license agreement, I opted to install both Libero SoC and setup License since this is required, and I should get a free one-year “Silver” license. If you experience any problems downloading Microsemi’s software, please send an email to Type: “./Libero_SoC _v2021.2.bin” to launch libero installer.

Site 1: Download Libero SoC v2021.2 (Linux) (BIN) No matter how many times I would try, it would fail with the same error, but I tried a week later and I could eventually access the download link to the Linux version with some simple installation instructions: The very first time it failed due to errors with the website when registering for a new account. Note you’ll need to create an account with MicroSemi/Microchip before getting started. Since my computer is running Ubuntu 20.04, I decided to go with the Linux version. If we go to the download page, we’ll see Libero SoC v2021.2 for Windows and Libero SoC v2021.2 for Linux. (Failing to) Install Libero SoC v2021.v2 on Ubuntu 20.04 So I’ll report my experience to let readers avoid some of the pitfalls, and hopefully save time. But instead, I spent countless hours trying to install the development tools.
OPEN SOURCE FLEXLM HOW TO
I assumed I would write one or two paragraphs about the installation process, and then show how to work with Libero SoC Design Suite to create an FPGA bitstream. I wrote “ Getting Started with Yocto Linux BSP” tutorial for the board, and I had initially titled the current post “Getting Started with FPGA development using Libero SoC and Polarfire FPGA SoC”. A few weeks ago, I received Microchip PolarFire SoC FPGA Icicle Kit with FPGA fabric and hard RISC-V cores capable of handling Linux.
