[Discuss-gnuradio] Reprogram FPGA

[S Mande]

Hi,

 

 

I am looking at the possibility of reprogramming the existing firmware inside FPGA.

 

I am using the Quartus software to compile the code. However, I am new to USRP and GNU Radio.

 

It would help me if anyone of you could reply to my questions:

 

1) Do I need a 3rd party tool to transfer my code to the FPGA on USRP ? I remember using a JTAG cable and Active-HDL for this task when i worked with Aldec procesors.

 

2) I believe that the firmware is loaded everytime I run GNU radio. Is it that I replace the existing fpga Verilog firmware code ( .v file ) from its existing location .i.e. gnuradio folder

with my modified Verilog firmware code ?

 

Thank you for your help.

 

S. Mande.
