yosys: undefined symbol: ffi_type_double, version LIBFFI_BASE_7.0

[Martoni]

Hello,

I'm on Linux Mint distribution (Linux Mint 21 Vanessa) and I'm trying to synthesis qf_helloworldhw FPGA example for my quickfeather board with qorc-sdk tools.

I installed software development environment with sourcing envsetup.sh as describe in quickstart.rst :

Code: Select all

$ source envsetup.sh

Software C compilation and binary flashing works well but synthesis have problems when launching yosys :

Code: Select all

...
verilog files: helloworldfpga.v 
make[2] : on entre dans le répertoire « /opt/qorc-sdk/qf_apps/qf_helloworldhw/fpga/rtl »
cd build && symbiflow_synth -t helloworldfpga -v /opt/qorc-sdk/qf_apps/qf_helloworldhw/fpga/rtl/helloworldfpga.v   -d ql-eos-s3_wlcsp -p /opt/qorc-sdk/qf_apps/qf_helloworldhw/fpga/rtl/quickfeather.pcf -P PU64 2>&1 > /opt/qorc-sdk/qf_apps/qf_helloworldhw/fpga/rtl/build/helloworldfpga.log
yosys: symbol lookup error: yosys: undefined symbol: ffi_type_double, version LIBFFI_BASE_7.0
make[2]: *** [Makefile.symbiflow:20 : build/helloworldfpga.eblif] Erreur 127
...

Is it a known problem ?

If I launch Yosys alone I have the same message :

Code: Select all

$ yosys
yosys: symbol lookup error: yosys: undefined symbol: ffi_type_double, version LIBFFI_BASE_7.0

Thanks

I found a workaround by deleting libffi.so.7 link in conda/lib directory :

Code: Select all

$ cd /opt/qorc-sdk/fpga_toolchain_install/v1.3.1/conda/bin/./../lib/
$ mv libffi.so.7 libffi.so.7.legacy

After that, I can launch yosys without problem :

Code: Select all

$ which yosys
/opt/qorc-sdk/fpga_toolchain_install/v1.3.1/conda/bin/yosys
$ yosys

Unfortunately, this version of Symbiflow has only been tested on Ubuntu 20_04. I am glad that you have found a fix for your Linux distribution.

Is there a new version ?
Will it be patched ?

You could try the latest release of the F4PGA group as they are maintaining Symbiflow

https://f4pga-examples.readthedocs.io/e ... ml#getting

They only support Ubuntu, Debian, Centos and Fedora so this may not fix the issue you have with Mint
