Teardown Session 39: ThunderScope

Quick Start Guide

LiteX

  1. Follow the instructions in the LiteX Build and Setup Guide guide to build the gateware and software for running LiteX firmware on the Thunderscope.
  2. Build TS.NET.Engine using the build scripts
    • Dependences for build scripts on Debian/Ubuntu Linux: sudo apt-get install -y dotnet-sdk-8.0 libgdiplus
    • On Windows, should just need Visual Studio with the C# plugins
    • Copy appsettings.json and [thunderscope.yaml]
  3. Install ngscopeclient, following the instructions in their user manual
  4. Run TS.NET.Engine and ngscopeclient
  5. Add ThunderScope in ngscopeclient under Add -> Oscilloscope with "thunderscope" Driver, "Twinlan" Transport and "Localhost:5025:5026" for the Path

XDMA [DEPRECATED]

These instructions have moved to the ts_xdma_archive repo

Troubleshooting

If you are getting under ~1000MB/s throughput on Linux, try turning off VT-d (Intel) or IOMMU/AMD-Vi (AMD) in BIOS or using "intel_iommu=off" in GRUB (Intel)
