Step 3: Setting up the Software (This is from GitHub Quickstart)

Welcome to the MATRIX Creator! To enjoy your new board you’ll need to set it up. First, you need to have Raspbian installed on your Raspberry Pi. If you don’t have it, you can download it and follow the instructions.

Then you need to install the software that will allow you to program the MATRIX Creator. To do it, you need to configure APT. The following steps should do it:

echo "deb http:packages.matrix.one/matrix-creator/ ./" | sudo tee --append /etc/apt/sources.list 

Now update the package list.

sudo apt-get update 

Then you can install the required packages.

sudo apt-get install matrix-creator-init cmake g++ git 

Now reboot the Raspberry Pi. After rebooting, the FPGA and SAM3 MCU will be programmed automatically. That is, after every reboot the FPGA will have the default firmware.
