You can even use both methods in the same project if you wish with no issues.
These methods are not language specific, but are instead conceptual methods of thinking of how to write the code.
Within most of these HDL languages there are two different schools of thought used to write the code for the project, structural or behavioral. A Word About "Writing" the "Code" for FPGAsĬode for FPGA chips is written in one of several hardware description languages, with the two most common and prolific being VHDL or Verilog. Now that all of the correct programs and associated files are installed, let's get to programming some logic.Ģ. Follow the onscreen prompts to complete the install.
This will install Digilent Adept, if needed. Once the install is complete, be sure to restart your computer.Īfter restarting, navigate to “C:\NIFPGA\programs\Vivado2019_1\data\xicom\cable_drivers\nt64\digilent” on your hard drive and run the “install_digilent.exe” file. Get some popcorn, watch a movie, take a nap, grow some roses, etc. Click “Next”.Ĭlick “Next” again to begin installation.
The package manager will display information regarding the software being installed. After the download is complete, NI Package Manager launches and you can start installing the software.įirst, read and accept the license agreements. Your downloaded software is delivered using the NI Package Manager. USB Scopes, Analyzers and Signal GeneratorsĬlick on the link above to navigate to the download page for the tool module.You can purchase the device and find additional documentation such as schematics and a user guide on Sfera Labs online store. The price of the Iono RP ranges between €189.00 and €204.00 depending on the selected options/model. it does not seem possible to order a model with the earthquake sensor module, at least not through the online store. There are currently three models offered with RMB10X Iono RP, IRMB10R Iono RP with RTC, and IRMB10S Iono RP with RTC and a Secure Element. The company also explain it’s possible to program the Raspberry Pi RP2040 PLC with the Arduino IDE using the same library as used with the company’s Arduino-based Iono Uno or Iono MKR PLCs. Sfera Labs provides a Github repository with a header file to add to Raspberry Pi RP2020 C/C++ SDK, and a MicroPython library with IO and RS485 examples. Internal block diagram Connection example Relative humidity – 5% to 90% non-condensing.Temperature Range – Operating: -20…+60 ☌ (non-condensing humidity), storage: -30…+80 ☌.Dimensions – 90.5 x 62.0 x 53.5 mm (3 modules DIN rail case).Power supply – 12 to 28 V DC via terminal block with surge and reverse polarity protection, and 1.1A resettable fuse.Misc – Option RTC with backup battery, secure element, earthquake sensor module.Debugging – Micro USB programming/debugging port.2x digital inputs or TTL level I/Os (1-Wire, I2C, Wiegand support).4x multi-mode inputs configurable as digital inputs, or 0 to 30V or 0 to 20mA analog inputs.4x power relay outputs with bistable coils rated for 6A at 250V.Communication interface – standard RS-485 interface with electrostatic discharge protection.Storage – 16MB SPI flash, optional microSD card slot.MCU – Raspberry Pi RP2040 dual-core Arm Cortex-M0+ 133MHz with 264kB on-chip SRAM.Sfera Labs can also provide some optional options such as an RTC or an earthquake sensor module. The DIN-Rail mountable, RP2040 based industrial PLC offers digital and analog input and output lines, power relays, and an RS-485 interface, supports power input from 12V-24V with all signals accessible through terminal blocks. Sfera Labs Iono RP is a compact I/O module (PLC) with a Raspberry Pi RP2040 microcontroller that’s programmable in C/C++ and MicroPython, or even the Arduino IDE. Raspberry Pi RP2040 MCU has been used in many boards, but I think I had seen the dual-core MCU in a PLC, or even any industrial products just yet.
