GMPACK(1)

📦 version 1.12, in ubuntu stonking

✨ GMPACK(1) — the General Commands girlies ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the GateMate bitstream packer station, aka Project Peppercorn 🍓 (yes that's the actual name, we love a snack-themed toolchain, no cap)

💅 NAME

gmpack — Project Peppercorn 🎀

🫶 SYNOPSIS

gmpack input.config [output.bit] [options]

🌸 DESCRIPTION

Error: input file is mandatory.

fr fr, that's the whole drama. you literally cannot run this without handing it an input file. the tool will simply not have it. it's giving "no input, no bitstream, no conversation." 💀

so like, what does it actually do? gmpack is the GateMate bitstream packer. that's the whole job title. it packs. it's iconic.

⭐ Allowed options:

the menu of everything you're allowed to ask for, no substitutions, no vibes-based guessing, just options ✨

  • -h, --help — show help. your little emergency bestie when you forget how anything works 🙈
  • -v, --verbose — verbose output. it will simply tell you more. oversharing era 🫶
  • --reset — reset all configuration latches with CMD_CFGRST. clean slate, fresh start, character development arc 🔥
  • --crcmode arg — CRC error behaviour. the arg is one of: check, ignore, unused. so like, do you want the CRC to actually have a job, be ignored entirely, or just stand there unused? your call, main character 😭
  • --spimode arg — SPI Mode to use. pick from single, dual, quad. more lanes = more flashes, iykyk 🌈
  • --reconfig — enable reconfiguration in bitstream. turning a behaviour ON, right there in the bitstream, periodt ✨
  • --background — enable background reconfiguration in bitstream. reconfiguration, but make it backstage 🎀
  • --bootaddr arg — boot address for secondary bitstream. where the secondary bitstream wakes up in the morning ⭐
  • --input arg — input textual configuration. the text file that tells it what to do. remember the error above? this is the thing it's yelling about 💜
  • --bit arg — output bitstream file. your little baby bitstream, freshly packed, going off into the world 🦋
psst — the input file isn't optional, in case the giant <red>Error: input file is mandatory.</red> up top didn't already land. it is mandatory. capital M. mandatory.
