Prerequisites
Before you start:
1.
Download the programming files and the TCL script from:
http://soc.microsemi.com/download/rsc/?f=mpf_dg0849_liberosocpolarfirev2p3_pf
2.
Download the GUI from:
http://soc.microsemi.com/download/rsc/?f=mpf_dg0849_liberosocpolarfirev2p3_gui
3.
Download and install the program and Debug software from:
https://www.microsemi.com/document-portal/doc_download/1243650-download-programming-and-
debug-polarfire-v2-3-for-windows
Note:
On this web page, you are prompted to download the
Program_Debug_PolarFire_v2.3_win.exe
binary file. Installation of this executable installs FlashPro and SmartDebug used for FPGA programming
and debugging. FlashPro is used in this demo.

Demo Resources
The programming files folder contains the following resources:
•
A programming file (STP file)
:
This file is the FPGA bitstream to be programmed.
•
A binary file (BIN file) for the on-board SPI flash
: This file is the user application that is executed
by the Mi-V soft processor in the FPGA. The file is stored in SPI flash and is used to initialize the
fabric RAMs at device power-up.
•
A TCL script file
: This script stores the TCL instructions to program the PolarFire device and the
SPI Flash.
Follow these steps to make the TCL file compatible with your setup.
1.
Unzip the <programming files>.zip file.
2.
Open the TCL file using a text editor like +
3.
Update the location of the STP and BIN files as per your file system paths.
4.
Replace the path separator ‘\’ with ‘/’ when copying the Windows file paths.
5.
Save and close the TCL file.
