  • JaxHax Video Diary: Papilio Linux Virtual Machine Introduction.

    Jack gives a quick tour of the new Papilio Linux Virtual Machine created at SuseStudio.com. The Papilio VM includes the Papilio Loader, ZPUino toolchain, and ZPUino/Arduino IDE. The Linux Virtual Machine can be downloaded from the Papilio.cc website. Visit the Linux Virtual machine page for more information.   JaxHax is a behind the scenes video…

  • JaxHax Video Diary: Frogger!

    Jack takes a look at the classic Arcade game Frogger running on the Papilio Arcade kit.   JaxHax is a behind the scenes video diary of the work being done on the Open Source Papilio FPGA board. The Papilio is an Open Source community inspired by the Arduino and meant to ease people into FPGA…

  • JaxHax Video Diary: Sneak Peek at the new VGA Core

    Jack follows up the VGA simulator diary entry with a look at Alvaro’s VGA core running on the Papilio One. The end goal is a VGA core and c++ library that can be easily controlled by simple function calls from an Arduino sketch.   JaxHax is a behind the scenes video diary of the work…

  • Papilio Controlling a Sweet LED Scrolling Sign

    Papilio user GalacticaSound put together a sweet scrolling LED sign that he connected to the Papilio One using a I/O Wing plugged into a breadboard. We want one of those LED signs too! For more details visit his Papilio project page and for now take a look at his video:     Looks awesome Joel!…

  • User Project – CNC Printer Control

    Robin Debreuil is working on a sweet project that includes a custom Wing, VHDL code, and a hacked printer. He takes over control of the printer mechanism and controls it with his Papilio One. Seems like an excellent approach for getting high quality, precision CNC motors and slides. Go to a thrift store and pick…

  • Tutorial: Simulate AVR8 and Custom User Cores

    NOTE: Please note that the tutorial does not show that you must select “Gadget Factory Papilio Custom Board” under tools/board in the Arduino IDE for the simulation file to be generated. This screencast shows how to simulate a custom user core connected to the AVR8 Soft Processor. Simulation is the most efficient way to debug…

  • Tutorial: Custom User cores in the AVR8 Soft Processor.

    This screencast provides instructions for downloading and synthesizing a custom AVR8 soft processor for use with a version of the Arduino IDE that has been modified for use with the Papilio. Prerequisites: AVR8 Source Code Arduino IDE modified for the Papilio. Xilinx ISE free “Webpack” version. Custom User Core sketch. Related Simulate your custom AVR8…
