Using Bennett in Tootil
Bennett is available on the Linux machines in the Tootil labs. There is no ability to use Bennett for COMP12111 remotely.
Before starting Bennett, you will need to have synthesised your MU0 design. This should be done from Questa; please see the lab manual for guidance.
Ensure your Lab board is connected to your machine and powered up.
Once synthesized, again from Questa, download the MU0 design. Please see the current lab manual for more details.
Open a terminal and run start_bennett_121
Bennett should now start up.
Other resources
Details of the COMP12111 lab board are available at 12111 - Spartan 7 FPGA Board
Background MU0 Material is also available
Troubleshooting
- If Bennett doesn't start, ensure the lab board is plugged in and powered up.
- If Bennett still doesn't start, plug and unplug the lab board.
- If Bennett still doesn't start, ask a GTA or member of staff for support.
