SD image

This section describes our pre-compiled MicroSD image.

Our image automatically performs the required initializations after booting the operating system. All the tools you need to interact with X-HEEP (implemented on the PL side of the chip) from Linux (running on the PS side of the chip) are already pre-installed on the image.

The most important tools are:

  • RISC-V Toolchain to compile the code that runs on X-HEEP.

  • OpenOCD to load the binary to the X-HEEP main memory and run it.

  • GNU Debugger (GDB) to connect to OpenOCD and debug your application.

  • Screen to display the stdout of the application running on X-HEEP.
