 # Fayalite

 Fayalite is a library for designing digital hardware -- a hardware description language (HDL) embedded in the Rust programming language. Fayalite's semantics are based on [FIRRTL] as interpreted by [LLVM CIRCT](https://circt.llvm.org/docs/Dialects/FIRRTL/FIRRTLAnnotations/).

 [FIRRTL]: https://github.com/chipsalliance/firrtl-spec
+
+# Building the [Blinky example] for the Arty A7 100T on Linux
+
+[Blinky example]: crates/fayalite/examples/blinky.rs
+
+This uses the container image containing all the external programs and files that Fayalite needs to build for FPGAs, the sources for the container image are in https://git.libre-chip.org/libre-chip/fayalite-deps
+
+Steps:
+
+Install podman (or docker).
+
+Run:
+```bash
+podman run --rm --security-opt label=disable --volume="$(pwd):$(pwd)" -w="$(pwd)" -it git.libre-chip.org/libre-chip/fayalite-deps:latest cargo run --example blinky yosys-nextpnr-xray --nextpnr-xilinx-chipdb-dir /opt/fayalite-deps/nextpnr-xilinx/xilinx --prjxray-db-dir /opt/fayalite-deps/prjxray-db --platform arty-a7-100t -o target/blinky-out
+```
+
+To actually program the FPGA, you'll need to install [openFPGALoader] on your host OS:
+
+[openFPGALoader]: https://github.com/trabucayre/openFPGALoader
+
+On Debian 12:
+```bash
+sudo apt update && sudo apt install openfpgaloader
+```
+
+Then program the FPGA:
+```bash
+sudo openFPGALoader --board arty_a7_100t target/blinky-out/blinky.bit
+```
+
+This will program the FPGA but leave the Flash chip unmodified, so the FPGA will revert when the board is power-cycled.
+
+To program the Flash also, so it stays programmed when power-cycling the board:
+
+```bash
+sudo openFPGALoader --board arty_a7_100t -f target/blinky-out/blinky.bit
+```
+
+# Building the [Transmit-only UART example] for the Arty A7 100T on Linux
+
+[Transmit-only UART example]: crates/fayalite/examples/tx_only_uart.rs
+
+Follow the steps above of building the Blinky example, but replace `blinky` with `tx_only_uart`.
+
+View the output using [tio](https://github.com/tio/tio) which you can install in Debian using `apt`.
+
+Find the correct USB device:
+```bash
+sudo tio --list
+```
+
+You want the device with a name like (note the `if01`, `if00` is presumably the JTAG port):
+`/dev/serial/by-id/usb-Digilent_Digilent_USB_Device_210319B4A51E-if01-port0`
+
+Connect to the serial port:
+```bash
+sudo tio -b115200 /dev/serial/by-id/put-your-device-id-here
+```
+
+You'll see (repeating endlessly):
+```text
+Hello World from Fayalite!!!
+Hello World from Fayalite!!!
+Hello World from Fayalite!!!
+```
+
+Press Ctrl+T then `q` to exit tio.
