FPGA Device Manager

A GUI for managing device configurations for a Smart Home FPGA solution that was created as part of a Bachelor's thesis.

This application aids you in creating a device configuration for a Smart Home FPGA and automatically generates the corresponding Verilog code.

Installation

pip install fpga-device-manager

Usage

To launch the GUI, execute:

python -m fpga_device_manager

• The generated Verilog .v files will have to be copied manually to the smarthome/source/generated folder of the Lattice Diamond project.
• The generated smarthome.ldf file has to be copied manually to the root folder of the Lattice Diamond project.

Command-line generation

Verilog code can be generated from the command line like this:

python -m fpga_device_manager.generator --output=./generated configuration.json

Valid configurations

A valid configuration needs:

• at least one appliance
• at least one sensor
• every sensor to be associated with an appliance
