Vivado projects in repository

Hello all,

In the RedPitaya repository, under fpga/prj, there are the following projects: axi4lite classic logic mercury tft v0.94

What are they, and which one corresponds to the current stable release from downloads.redpitaya.com?

There is also fpga/prj/project/redpitaya.xpr but that doesn't seem to work.

Cheers, Dave.

The thing is that they are all valid.

Every application loads its own bit image and each image is a result of different project.

If you tell me what is your goal perhaps I can help you.

So there's a lack of consistency?

No, every application needs a different "hardware" configuration, hence a different image is loaded. That is the beauty of the FPGA it can be reconfigured.


Ok perhaps every is to strong of a word because some do use the same FPGA configuration. However each application does check if the correct FPGA image is loaded and loads the correct one if it has not been loaded before. For example SDR and oscilloscope need different FPGA images.
