Bennett is availble 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 startup.
