Updating the Sonata System
To get started with your Sonata board, there are three levels of hardware/software designs you'll need to be able to load onto the board.
First, head to the Sonata System Release Page where you'll find the latest releases. Each release includes an RP2040 firmware image and FPGA bitstream. Once you have downloaded these, proceed with the following tasks:
- Program the RP2040 With the latest firmware to get any bug fixes by entering bootloader mode & dragging the
rpi_rp2_v0.XX.uf2
. - Get the latest FPGA image that corresponds with the software you are building. This requires you to just drag the new
sonata_vXX.bit.slot1.uf2
file into the 'SONATA' drive that comes up when you plug in the board to your computer. - Build the example code and download to the soft-core you loaded in step 1.
Follow along each of the following sections to complete these tasks.
