FPGAd's CLI application

Usage

Usage: [snap run] fpgad [OPTIONS] <COMMAND>

OPTIONs:
  -h, --help                    Print help
  -d, --device <DEVICE_HANDLE>  FPGA device handle to be used for operations.
                                Default value is calculated at runtime and picks
                                the first available FPGA device in the system
                                (under `/sys/class/fpga_manager/`)
  -p, --platform <PLATFORM>     Override the platform detection. Format:
                                "xlnx-sys" or "vendor,device"
                                Examples: --platform=xlnx-sys
                                          --platform=xlnx,zynqmp-pcap-fpga

COMMANDs:
├── load                Load a bitstream or overlay
│   ├── overlay <FILE> [--name <OVERLAY_NAME>]
│   │       Load overlay (.dtbo) into the system using the default OVERLAY_NAME
│   │           (either the provided DEVICE_HANDLE or "overlay0") or provide
│   │       --name (-n): to name the overlay directory
│   └── bitstream <FILE>
│           Load bitstream (e.g. `.bit.bin` file) into the FPGA
│
├── set <ATTRIBUTE> <VALUE>
│       Set an attribute/flag under `/sys/class/fpga_manager/<DEVICE_HANDLE>/<ATTRIBUTE>`
│
├── status
│       Show FPGA status (all devices and overlays)
│
├── remove              Remove an overlay or bitstream
│   ├── overlay [--name <OVERLAY_NAME>]
│   │       Removes the first overlay found (call repeatedly to remove all) or provide
│   │       --name (-n): to remove overlay previously loaded with given OVERLAY_NAME
│   └── bitstream [--handle <HANDLE>]
│           Remove active bitstream from FPGA (bitstream removal is vendor specific)
│           Optionally specify --handle to name the removal handle
│
├── xlnx-sys           Low-level read/write access to FPGA manager properties
│   ├── read <SUB_CMD> <PATH>
│   │       Read from sysfs path where SUB_CMD is:
│   │           read_property: read property from sysfs path
│   │           read_flags: read flags from device handle
│   └── write <SUB_CMD> <PATH> <VALUE>
│           Write to sysfs path where SUB_CMD is:
│               write_flags: write flags to device handle
│               write_property: write string property to sysfs path
│               write_property_bytes: write bytes to sysfs path
│
└── dfx-mgr <CMD>       Pass commands to dfx-mgr-client (Xilinx DFX manager)
