Results

The makefile builds the project and generates these files in the build directory:

<project name>.asm—Assembly language file for the firmware.
<project name>.bin—Firmware binary file. Download this file to the flash device on your board using OpenOCD. When you turn the board on, the SoC loads the application into the RISC-V processor and executes it.
<project name>.elf—Executable and linkable format. Use this file when debugging with the OpenOCD debugger.
<project name>.hex—Hex file for the firmware. (Do not use it to program the FPGA.)
<project name>.map—Contains the SoC address map.
