F4PGASlackBridge<kenneth.wilke> hi all! I just picked up the quicklogic eos s3 board and was starting to explore how to tinker with it. I found and followed the guide on how to build the btn_counter example but I didn't find a process for loading it up on the board, is there a guide for that as well?01:24

josuahhello kenneth.wilke, are you interested with programming the ARM core or the FPGA part of the chip?13:02
josuahhttps://github.com/openocd-org/openocd/releases lists a "QuickLogic EOS S3 target config", maybe there is something to try here13:04

F4PGASlackBridge<kenneth.wilke> I was looking for how to program the FPGA part of the chip, but I did get this one to use both! :) Thanks for those links, I'll check those out14:44
josuahI have one of these home, but I am not home now15:03

F4PGASlackBridge<kenneth.wilke> no worries! I have plenty of my own research to do on this one as well, was just curious if there were any handy references to use17:40

F4PGASlackBridge<kgugala> @kenneth.wilke you can also check the Zephyr based FPGA loader https://github.com/antmicro/zephyr-fpga-controller-examples18:01
F4PGASlackBridge<kgugala> With this you can have a serial loader and program the FPGA part of the chip over UART18:02
F4PGASlackBridge<kenneth.wilke> ooo nice, yeah I was wondering if maybe it was something I'd load through an interface on the ARM side through something like Zephyr18:02
F4PGASlackBridge<kenneth.wilke> I have no experience with Zephyr or other RTOS projects, and may pivot first to exploring those a bit18:03
F4PGASlackBridge<kgugala> Try going through quick start guide (it should just work)18:04
F4PGASlackBridge<kgugala> Later you can play with that and hack things around :)18:05
F4PGASlackBridge<kenneth.wilke> that sounds good, would that be the zephyr project's quick start guide?18:05
F4PGASlackBridge<kenneth.wilke> or the one from that antmicro repo you linked18:05

F4PGASlackBridge<kenneth.wilke> awesome, thank you I appreciate that18:05
F4PGASlackBridge<kgugala> Once you set up zephyr you can simply build the loader using west18:06
F4PGASlackBridge<kenneth.wilke> a few of the random guides I was coming across were for windows, and I'm only familiar with this kind of tinkering on Linux lol18:07
F4PGASlackBridge<kenneth.wilke> one guide I came across for this board had a step that included installing putty on ubuntu, and I was like... I appreciate the knowledge sharing but I have a strong gut aversion to the suggestion of installing putty on linux :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:18:08
F4PGASlackBridge<kgugala> ;)18:08
F4PGASlackBridge<kgugala> You need only terminal to go through Zephyr's and FPGA loader guides18:09
F4PGASlackBridge<kenneth.wilke> that sounds perfect!18:12
