qorc-sdk repository issues

[Menno]

When trying to flash the "EOS S3: MCU + eFPGA" by following the subsequent tutorial:
https://qorc-sdk.readthedocs.io/en/late ... l#qorc-sdk

I was able to flash the helloworldsw app on the board, but when trying to build the hellowordhw app, I ran into some errors.
It seems like the FPGA part of the application does not build properly, as I get the following error:

/qorc-sdk/qf_apps/qf_helloworldhw/src/main.c:46:10: fatal error: helloworldfpga_bit.h: No such file or directory
46 | #include "helloworldfpga_bit.h" // FPGA bitstream to load into FPGA

Does QuickLogig still support this device or am I missing something in order to use the FPGA? The qorc-sdk repository has not had any contributions since June 2022 now.

I successfully flashed the helloworldsw application onto the board; however, I encountered difficulties when attempting to develop the helloworldhw application.

Have any update about this issue?

I encountered a snag while flashing the EOS S3 with the helloworldhw app, following the official tutorial. The MCU part worked fine, just like hitting a bullseye in Ragdoll Archers, but the FPGA build threw errors. It seems helloworldfpga_bit.h is missing. Anyone else facing similar issues with the FPGA on this device? Is support still active, or am I missing a crucial step to get this digital archer firing correctly? The SDK hasn't been updated in a while.

Hey, I've had similar build issues with FPGA projects before - they can be frustrating! The missing header file error usually means the bitstream didn't generate properly. Double-check that you've run all the prerequisite build steps for the FPGA portion first. Sometimes the build order matters. By the way, I recently discovered Heardle which has nothing to do with this, but it's a fun way to take breaks when debugging gets tedious. Hope you get it sorted!

It is a nice detail and we can learn here how it works. Many of us face the qorc-sdk repository issues and it is good to be here and learn how to resolve them. When I come to know about the post frame building Roanoke VA I try it and get the amazing results.

It looks like the build is failing because helloworldfpga_bit.h is never generated or isn't being copied into the expected location. I'd first check whether the FPGA bitstream generation step completed successfully before building the application.

Also, since the qorc-sdk repository hasn't seen updates for quite a while, it's worth verifying that the tutorial still matches the current repository state. If you're using a newer toolchain or a different branch, some generated files or build scripts may no longer be included.

As a quick check, try searching the entire repository for helloworldfpga_bit.h. If the file doesn't exist anywhere, the bitstream generation step is probably being skipped or failing silently. Sharing the output from that step (or your build log) would make it easier to pinpoint the root cause.
