LiteX (FPGA) ============ `LiteX <https://github.com/enjoy-digital/litex>`_ is a Python-based System on a Chip (SoC) designer for open source supported Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) chips. This means that the CPU core(s) and peripherals are not defined by the physical chip. Instead, they are loaded as separate "gateware". Once this gateware is loaded, CircuitPython can be loaded on top of it to work as expected. Installation ------------- You'll need ``dfu-util`` to install CircuitPython on the Fomu. Make sure the foboot bootloader is updated. Instructions are here: https://github.com/im-tomu/fomu-workshop/blob/master/docs/bootloader.rst Once you've updated the bootloader, you should know how to use ``dfu-util``. It's pretty easy! To install CircuitPython do: .. code-block:: shell dfu-util -D adafruit-circuitpython-fomu-en_US-<version>.dfu It will install and then restart. CIRCUITPY should appear as it usually does and work the same.
