It’s been a bit of a busy week, I was away for Easter and I am busy installing a kitchen, so I haven’t had as much time as I would like to carry on with the board bring up. However, I’ve got a rough cut of the boot software optimised for the ARM. It’s booting ok, flashing lights and talking RS232 – and I can access the filesystem on the SD card!

The next stage is to read the file Replay\boot.bit and configure the FPGA with the on screen menu system.
