This guide is supposed to only be followed by groups that cannot install vivado on their computer.

Connecting to the Computer Engineering server

You will be using borrowed access to the Hardware Fundamentals (CESE4005) lab server. Beware that ssh connections can be slow depending on the internet connection, so be patient.

  1. Communicate that you do not have Vivado with one of the TA's to get your group's sign in information.
  2. On your machine or on the laboratory machine, download MobaXterm Portable edition.
  3. Open a local terminal and log in through ssh with X forwarding: ssh -X cese4005-<grp-nbr>@ce-hwfund.ewi.tudelft.nl. Where <grp-nbr> is your group number, and fill in your password given to you by the TA's.
  4. Move the vivado template project files from the /course directory to your home directory, so you are able to modify them. You can do this by running cp -r course/. ~. An error will probably appear that some log files cannot be copied, you can ignore this.
  5. Type vivado in the terminal to start Vivado. Open and change the project as you would on your local machine.

You are able to simulate any design you make, but once you are done with the Debouncer, generate the bitstream and upload it to the following OneDrive folder, inside your group folder , and come to the TA's to test it on the FPGA. The generated bitstream is located in the <lab-name>/<lab-name>.runs/impl_1 directory.
