This sys-crate links and exposes an FFI to the "libxil_sf.a" static library. "libxil_sf.a" is a
custom version of the board support package (BSP) provided with the course work for COMP.CE.100. The
only difference between the Xilinx generated BSP and this one is that this one is compiled with
-mfloat-abi=soft instead of -mfloat-abi=hard.
Caution: using this crate for a modified hardware specification may not work because a particular
set of drivers is always included with a particular build of the BSP. If you need to change the
hardware definition (.hdf) and the respective BSP specification (generated by ie. Vitis), rebuild
the static library (libxil.a) with -mfloat-abi=soft and replace the library in the root directory
of this repository (libxil_sf.a), then replace the updated include directory at "include/" at root
of this repository.
- Install the cross-compiler
rustup target add armv7a-none-eabi.
- Run
cargo build.
- Some of the Xilinx headers in include/ have been edited to be compilable with LLVM/Clang. The edits consist of removals of unreferenced symbols.
The crate currently fails to link the static library (libxil_sf.a) right, and requires dependent
binary to manually link it via -lxil_sf from -L..
