DESim VPI source code

[dlly11]

Hi,

Is there any chance of uploading the VPI source code in the hardware simulator: https://github.com/intel/FPGA-Devcloud/tree/master/main/HandsFree/Simulator/DESim

We would like to make the simulator compatible for students on Linux.

Thanks

Hi!
refer to the DESim link again - I add a github repo location in the READme where you can find the source code. If you would like to contribute a Linux release, please use the issues on the fpgacademy site and we would be thrilled to get some outside help.
Thanks
Larry

Did the link above help you get what you need to port DESim to Linux?
Thanks!

Hi,

Yes I was able to get it to work. I haven't had time to test all of the demo programs.
To get it to work, in the C header files wherever saw:
`ifdef _WIN32
#include <winsock2.h>
#include <Ws2tcpip.h>
typedef SOCKET sockfd;

#else
typedef int sockfd;
#endif`

I modified to:
`ifdef _WIN32
#include <winsock2.h>
#include <Ws2tcpip.h>
typedef SOCKET sockfd;

#else
#include <sys/socket.h> // New Line
typedef int sockfd;
#endif`

I also modified the makefile from:
`
MODELSIM_DIR = C:\intelFPGA\19.1\modelsim_ae

CFLAGS = -m32 -static -c -Wall -g -fno-diagnostics-show-caret -fpic -Iinclude -I$(MODELSIM_DIR)/include
LDFLAGS = -m32 -static -g -shared -lmtipli

ifeq ($(OS),Windows_NT)
LDFLAGS += -lws2_32
LDFLAGS += -L$(MODELSIM_DIR)/win32aloem
endif`

to :
`
ifeq ($(OS),Windows_NT)
MODELSIM_DIR = C:\intelFPGA\19.1\modelsim_ae

else
MODELSIM_DIR = ~/intelFPGA/19.1/modelsim_ae
endif`

CFLAGS = -m32 -static -c -Wall -g -fno-diagnostics-show-caret -fpic -Iinclude -I$(MODELSIM_DIR)/include

ifeq ($(OS),Windows_NT)
LDFLAGS = -m32 -static -g -shared -lmtipli
LDFLAGS += -lws2_32
LDFLAGS += -L$(MODELSIM_DIR)/win32aloem

else
LDFLAGS = -m32 -static -g -shared -Llib/mtipli
LDFLAGS += -L$(MODELSIM_DIR)/win32aloem
endif`

After following the instructions in the READMEs, compiling with make and running the demos worked fine.
If there is a better way to do any of that please let me know

Thanks
