Using HPS_KEY and HPS_LED in FPGA via LOAN IO in DE1-SoC

Altera_Forum · ‎09-16-2014

Hi,

I am using DE1-SoC with Quartus II v13.1 and v14.0.

I want to use GPIO attached to HPS from the FPGA side.

I referred to some related documents and forum topics:

how can i implement hps loan io and confirm timing? (http://www.altera.com/support/kdb/solutions/rd04132014_234.html)

an 702: interfacing a usb phy to the hard processor system usb 2.0 otg controller (http://www.altera.com/literature/an/an702.pdf)

instantiating the hps component (http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/arria-v/av_54027.pdf#page=10)

accessing hps pins (http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=41652)

how to let fpga get access to hps pins (http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=44486)

Then I added some LOAN IO code to GHRD source.

Its main part is as follows and the exact code is attached.

assign loan_io_oe = 1'b1; // HPS_LED is in output mode
assign loan_io_out = loan_io_in; // HPS_LED <- HPS_KEY
assign LEDR = loan_io_in; // LEDR <- HPS_KEY

Now my FPGA can access an input pin (HPS_KEY) attached to HPS.

However, it can not access an output pin (HPS_LED).

When I program the FPGA, LEDR[0] turns on and HPS_LED is off.

Pushing the HPS_KEY turns LEDR[0] off, but HPS_LED keeps off.

HPS_LED is not broken as I tested using hps_gpio Demo project.

I also tested both 1 and 0 of USER_IO_DIR bit for HPS_LED,

which controls HPS GPIO direction.

My question is how I can control LOAN IO as an output pin.

What I exactly did is:

* Copy de1_soc_GHRD project in V.1.2.0 SystemCD as a new project.

* Double click hps_0 in Qsys.

* Disable GPIO53/54 buttons and enable LOANIO53/54 buttons in Periferals Mux Table in Periferal Pins tab.

* Export h2f_loan_io as hps_0_h2f_loan_io.

* Perform Generate HDL and Finish.

* Modify ghrd_top.v as attached patch.

* Start "Analysis & Synthesis".

* Assign 3.3-V LVTTL to LOANIO53/54 pins in Pin Planner.

* Start Compilation.

Thank you very much and Regards,

Hi,

I am exactly trying to do what you have explained in your post. Did you get it to work? Could you please reply here what you did to get it working?

Thanks,

Karthik.

From this link: https://www.altera.com/support/support-resources/knowledge-base/solutions/rd04132014_234.html it looks like the preloader needs to be updated too. Have you tried doing that?
