DEVBOX, under development at UBC Vancouver, is an all-in-one software development education platform designed to ease new students into writing code. This GitHub repository contains many of the custom drivers, programs, and projects required to run the prototype application on the Altera/Teraisic DE1-SoC.
This package is used in the Arduino simulation portion of the IDE. It maps the majority of Arduino C's custom instructions to the I/O's and to a visual representation of the virtual Arduino Uno's pin state and the state of the hard I/Os on the development board. This requires the devbox_ioctl kernel module.
This kernel module and library provides user-space access to the DE1-SoC's hard I/Os. A small collection of instructions provide specialized access to the LEDs, switches and push-buttons. Future elaborations include the addition of the 7-segment displays and the 40-pin GPIOs.
The primary user interface to the DEVBOX training tool. This site is hosted on the local network and accessed via the device's IP address. It contains interactive tutorials, example programs, help, templates and a bare-bones IDE.
This is an abstraction-level library for manipulating the framebuffer via
/dev/fb0. There are instructions for drawing characters, lines, squares
and single pixels. It requires rw privileges to the device file.
DEVBOX's Tutorial Markdown Layer is a file parser that converts a combination
of markdown-syntax documentation and verbatim code snippets to provide an
interactive tutorial experience. This folder contains example documents.
There are also .tml files in the ./pages/www/tutorials/c folder.
The Quartus project files for the DEVBOX FPGA hardware. Compilation requires Quartus II >=13.1 with SoC EDS
The contents of this repo do not yet represent a full install. The full installation process will be documented and provided in the near future.
