Hi @Tim Edwards @Matt Venn I am facing the issue while testing the caravel board. I have clone the tool chain successfully and follow the steps that was given on attached link. I think there is an issue in the make file. Could you assist me in identifying the necessary modifications required within the Makefile to rectify this testing issue ?

You need to install gcc for riscv, or if you have it already, change the Makefile or set an environment variable to use it

@Matt Venn I have already install gcc
m
so change the Makefile or set an environment variable to use it

for example, I change my makefile
but you could also
export TOOLCHAIN_PATH=
wherever you installed it

It is working fine.
I am just getting the issue of FTDI.
@Matt Venn
I am getting the error of FTDI shown in the attachment.
I have install the drivers but still facing the same issue.

@Ali Sabir: You are using a virtual machine and I don't know how to access the USB bus from a virtual machine, or if it's possible. At very least you probably have to change the device string in the python code. If you run
lsusb
from the command line in the virtual machine, do you get back anything meaningful?
a
Yes @Tim Edwards I get the device Id that is connected with my PC.
I have attached the snapshot below

There's no FTDI chip on that list. Here's how mine appears on linux

You might try to follow @Lab Lecture instructions to compile the .hex firmware file on the virtual machine and then flash it on windows power shell: https://open-source-silicon.slack.com/archives/C05KBE2DJFJ/p1705043867183059?thread_ts=1704777206.212389&amp;cid=C05KBE2DJFJ

@Maximo Balestrini Did you install any driver on Linux ?
m
No, I didn't install any drivers on linux. I saw in another message that you make it work. Great!
