Can gatemate_ila be used without a PMOD module?

[lollisoft]

Hi,

I found it very interesting to analyse a design directly from within the chip using https://github.com/colognechip/gatemate_ila.

Is the USB port to program the FPGA after that usable as the USB port to recieve the analyse data?

Thanks, Lothar

Hi Lothar and Olimex,

Thanks to the commit colognechip/gatemate_ila@c0ec582 you can now follow the configuration steps described here: https://github.com/colognechip/gatemate_ila?tab=readme-ov-file#use-with-the-olimex-gatematea1-EVB to configure the GateMate ILA on the FPGA and transfer signals from your design at runtime via the RP2040 on the Olimex GateMateA1-EVB. Since Lothar later opened an issue in the GateMate ILA Git repo: colognechip/gatemate_ila#2 which has been closed for quite some time, I think this issue can be closed now as well.

Thanks, Dave
