XiBIF Connection

The XiBIF Connection package is an API that allows to interface with a XiBIF board.

Installation

The XiBIF Connection package is installed via pip:

pip install xibif-connection 

Features

The XiBIF Connection package offers a set of API functions to ease interfacing with the FPGA, such as:

• read and write registers
• read and write from/to the AXI-Stream
• benchmarking functions
• interactive shell

Usage

The main API object is XibifConnection.

from xibif_connection.api import XibifConnection

board = XibifConnection("192.168.1.10", 0xDEAD_CAFE)
board.connect()
print(board.read(0))
board.write(0, 10)

Alternatively, use a XibifSession

from xibif_connection.api import XibifSession

with XibifSession("192.168.1.10", 0xDEAD_CAFE) as board:
    print(board.read(0))
    board.write(0, 10)

For an interactive connection with your board, use the CLI tool xibif-connection:

> xibif-connection --ip 192.168.1.10 --uuid 0xDEAD_CAFE
xibif> read 0
0x1234_5678
xibif> write 4 10
xibif> read 4
10
xibif> quit
