FPGA Toolkit

OpenPR is written primarily in C/C+, and leverages several open-source packages, including TORC (Tools for Open Reconfigurable Computing). The OpenPR source code repository is hosted on SourceForge, and can be accessed here.

There are a few library prerequisites that are required before OpenPR can be installed.

GCC-4.2.4, however most versions of GCC should work.

Boost-1.42, must be installed in /usr/local/include/boost-1_42/

Bison-2.3

Flex

At least 4GB of disk space is required to build the executables.

Installation

The installation process of OpenPR is very similar to the installation process of TORC. The first step is to check out a working copy of the OpenPR repository. Then the source directory needs to be built by the following commands:

cd src

make

This process will build an anticore executable. Sample binary executables have been provided for x86 and x64 linux computers built on Ubuntu 11.04 with gcc-4.2.4. The anticore executable needs to be added to the working path. This can be accomplished by the following commands.

$PATH=$PATH:/”path to anticore“/

The anticore is now ready for use in OpenPR! See the tutorial on how to use the examples in the resources folder.
