use blas with beaglebone black and logibone

caro

hello everyone,

I'm  a newbie, and I would like to use the blas library, is there any way to recompile blas libraries for the beaglebone black? I want to use it as a coprocessor with the logibone
how could i do this? thank you

HI @caro

It appears that the cblas library should be able to build using gcc.  They have a makfile in the download package they list here:

http://www.netlib.org/blas/#_cblas  You should be able to simply run the make file after transferring to the BBB.

How you do you plan to use the LOGI bone in conjunction with blas?

Hi @mjones ,
thanks for your answer, I'm working with an algorithm for the inverse
matrix in school, so I'm using an fpga to accelerate some operations
that in my case are some inverse square roots, I want to use the blas
library to solve the rest of the matrix operations in the ARM processor.
I hope to make some kind of coprocessor for my algorithm.

thaks for the help!

Hi @caro

Sounds fun!  You will want to have a look at the logi wishbone example in the repository to get a feel for how you might want to build the co-processing applicaiton.  You can tie the accellerator to the wishbone bus which can then be easily polled from the BBB.

Good luck!
