The Vivado tool will be opened and Trenz Electronic HW project for the TE0802-test_board Linux Design, part 01 will be generated.
In Vivado window Sources, click on zusys_wrapper and next on zusys.bd to open the HW diagram in IP integrator:
It is possible to display diagram in separate window by clicking on float icon in upper right corner of the diagram.
Zynq Ultrascale+ block is configured for the Trenz TE0802-test_board Linux Design on the TE0706-03 carrier board.
This is starting point for the standard PetaLinux system supported by Trenz with steps for generation of the PetaLinux system. Parameters of this system and compilation steps are described on Trenz Wiki pages:
TE0802 Test Board - Public Docs - Trenz Electronic Wiki (trenz-electronic.de)
Follow steps described in these wiki pages if you would like to create fixed, not extensible Vitis platform.
The Extensible Vitis platform generation steps are described in next paragraphs.
Create Extensible Vitis platform
To implement hardware this tutorial offers two alternatives: Fast Track or Manual Track:
- Choose Fast Track to use TCL script to do the same modifications as in manual track case automatically,
- Select Manual Track path if you want to see all required hardware modifications required for custom platform.
Fast Track
Block Design of the Vivado project must be opened for this step. Copy following TCL Code to the TCL comand console of Vivado:
This script modifies the Initial platform Block design into the Extensible platform Block design and also defines define Platform Setup configuration.
In Vivado, open the design explorer and Platform description.
The fast track result is identical to the manually performed modifications described in next sections. In Vivado, save block design by clicking on icon “Save Block Design”.
Continue the design path with Validate Design.
Manual Track
In Vivado project, click in Flow Navigator on Settings. In opened Settings window, select General in Project Settings, select Project is an extensible Vitis platform. Click on OK.
IP Integrator of project set up as an extensible Vitis platform has an additional Platform Setup window.
Add multiple clocks and processor system reset IPs
In IP Integrator Diagram Window, right click, select Add IP and add Clocking Wizard IP clk_wiz_0. Double-click on the IP to Re-customize IP window. Select Output Clocks panel. Select four clocks with frequency 100, 200, 400 and 240 MHz.
100 MHz clock will serve as low speed clock.
200 MHz and 400 MHz clock will serve as clock for possible AI engine.
240 MHz clock will serve as the default extensible platform clock. By default, Vitis will compile HW IPs with this default clock.
Set reset type from the default Active High to Active Low.
Clik on OK to close the Re-customize IP window.
Disconnect clock network driven by output pl_clk0 of zynq_ultra_ps_e_0 from pl_clk0 and connect the complete clock network to output clk_out4 of clk_wiz_0. It will be driven by 240 MHz clock.
Connect input resetn of clk_wiz_0 with output pl_resetn0 of zynq_ultra_ps_e_0.
Connect input clk_in1 of clk_wiz_0 with output pl_clk0 of zynq_ultra_ps_e_0.
Add and connect Processor System Reset blocks for each generated clock.
Add four Processor System reser blocks and rename them proc_sys_reset_1, proc_sys_reset_2, proc_sys_reset_3 and proc_sys_reset_4.
Connect input slowest_sync_clk of proc_sys_reset_1 to clk_out1 of clk_wiz_0.
Connect input slowest_sync_clk of proc_sys_reset_2 to clk_out2 of clk_wiz_0.
Connect input slowest_sync_clk of proc_sys_reset_3 to clk_out3 of clk_wiz_0.
Connect input slowest_sync_clk of proc_sys_reset_4 to clk_out4 of clk_wiz_0.
Connect inputs ext_reset_in of proc_sys_reset_1, proc_sys_reset_2 proc_sys_reset_3 and proc_sys_reset_4 to output pl_resetn0 of zynq_ultra_ps_e_0.
Connect inputs dcm_locked of proc_sys_reset_1, proc_sys_reset_2 proc_sys_reset_3 and proc_sys_reset_4 to output locked of clk_wiz_0.
Platform Setup - clocks
Open Platform Setup window of IP Integrator to define Clocks. In Settings, select Clock.
In “Enabled” column select all four defined clocks clk_out1, clk_out2, clk_out3, clk_out4 of clk_wiz_0 block.
In “ID” column keep the default Clock ID: 1, 2, 3, 4
In “Is Default” column, select clk_out4 (with ID=4) as the default clock. One and only one clock must be selected as default clock.
Add, customize and connect the AXI Interrupt Controller
Add AXI Interrupt Controller IP axi_intc_0.
Double-click on axi_intc_0 to re-customize it.
In “Processor Interrupt Type and Connection” section select the “Interrupt Output Connection” from “Bus” to “Single”.
In “Peripherial Interrupt Type” section, change the “Interrupts Types Edge or Level” from AUTO to MANUAL. Change the corresponding value from 0xFFFFFFFF to 0x00000000.
Click on OK to accept these changes.
This re-configuration is manually setting all interrupts as level interrupts. With this setting, the PetaLinux automatically creates correct description of the interrupt controller in the device tree.
The Vitis extensible flow generates HW IP blocks with level interrupts.
The Vitis extensible flow generates HW IP blocks with level interrupts.
In case of user defined edge interrupts, the corresponding interrupt description will be added in an customised, interrupt controller description section of the user-defined device tree file
~/work/TE0802_02_240/test_board/os/petalinux/project-spec/meta-user/recipes-bsp/device-tree/files/system-user.dtsi
For the default extensible TE0802_02_240_pfm platform it is not needed.
~/work/TE0802_02_240/test_board/os/petalinux/project-spec/meta-user/recipes-bsp/device-tree/files/system-user.dtsi
For the default extensible TE0802_02_240_pfm platform it is not needed.
Connect interrupt controller clock input s_axi_aclk of axi_intc_0 to clock output dlk_out4 of clk_wiz_0. It is the default, 240 MHz clock of the extensible platform.
Connect interrupt controller input s_axi_aresetn of axi_intc_0 to output peripheral_aresetn[0:0] of proc_sys_reset_4 . It is the reset block for default, 240 MHz clock of the extensible platform.
Use the Run Connection Automation wizard to connect the axi lite interface of interrupt controller axi_intc_0 to zynq_ultra_ps_e_0. It is available in green line in top of the Diagram window.
In Run Connection Automaton window, click OK.
New AXI interconnect ps_8_axi_periph is created and related connections are generated.
Vitis extensible design flow will be expanding the AXI interconnect ps_8_axi_periph for interfacing and configuration of registers of generated HW IP blocks with the default extensible platform clock 240 MHz.
Modify the automatically generated reset network of AXI interconnect ps_8_axi_periph IP.
Disconnect input S00_ARESETN of ps_8_axi_periph from the network driven by output peripherial_aresetn[0:0] of proc_sys_reset_4 block.
Connect input S00_ARESETN of ps_8_axi_periph block with output interconnect_aresetn[0:0] of proc_sys_reset_4 block.
Disconnect input M00_ARESETN of ps_8_axi_periph block from the network driven by output peripherial_aresetn[0:0] of proc_sys_reset_4 block.
Connect input M00_ARESETN of ps_8_axi_periph to output interconnect_aresetn[0:0] of proc_sys_reset_4 block.
This modification will make the reset structure of the AXI interconnect ps_8_axi_periph block identical to the future extensions generated by the Vitis extensible design flow.
Double-click on zynq_ultra_ps_e_0 to re-customize it by enabling of an interrupt input pl_ps_irq0[0:0]. Click OK.
Connect the interrupt input pl_ps_irq0[0:0] of zynq_ultra_ps_e_0 block with output irq of axi_intc_0 block.
In Platform Setup, select “Interrupt” and enable intr in the “Enabled” column.
In Platform Setup, select AXI Port for zynq_ultra_ps_e_0:
Select M_AXI_HPM0_FPD and M_AXI_HPM1_FPD in column “Enabled”.
Select S_AXI_HPC0_FPD and S_AXI_HPC1_FPD in column “Enabled”.
For S_AXI_HPC0_FPD, change S_AXI_HPC to S_AXI_HP in column “Memport”.
For S_AXI_HPC1_FPD, change S_AXI_HPC to S_AXI_HP in column “Memport”.
Select S_AXI_HP0_FPD, S_AXI_HP1_FPD, S_AXI_HP2_FPD, S_AXI_HP3_FPD in column “Enabled”.
Type into the “sptag” column the names for these 6 interfaces so that they can be selected by v++ configuration during linking phase. HPC0, HPC1, HP0, HP1, HP2, HP3
In “Platform Setup”, select AXI Ports for ps8_0_axi_periph:
Select M01_AXI, M02_AXI, M03_AXI, M04_AXI, M05_AXI, M06_AXI and M07_AXI in column “Enabled”.
The modifications of the default design for the extensible platform are completed, now.

~/work/TE0802_02_240/test_board/os/petalinux/project-spec/meta-user/conf/user-rootfsconfig
xrt, xrt-dev and zocl are required for Vitis acceleration flow.
dnf is for package management.
parted, e2fsprogs-resize2fs and resize-part can be used for ext4 partition resize.
Other included packages serve for natively building Vitis AI applications on target board and for running Vitis-AI demo applications with GUI.
The last three packages will enable use of the Vitis-AI 2.0 recepies for installation of the correspoding Vitis-AI 2.0 libraries into rootfs of PetaLinux.
Enable all required packages in Petalinux configuration, from the Ubuntu terminal:
$ petalinux-config -c rootfs
Select all user packages by typing “y”. All packages will have to have an asterisk.
Still in the RootFS configuration window, go to root directory by select Exit once.
Enable OpenSSH and Disable Dropbear
Dropbear is the default SSH tool in Vitis Base Embedded Platform. If OpenSSH is used to replace Dropbear, the system could achieve faster data transmission speed over ssh. Created Vitis extensible platform applications may use remote display feature. Using of OpenSSH can improve the display experience.
Go to Image Features.
Disable ssh-server-dropbear and enable ssh-server-openssh and click Exit.
Go to Filesystem Packages->misc->packagegroup-core-ssh-dropbear and disable packagegroup-core-ssh-dropbear.
Go to Filesystem Packages level by Exit twice.
Go to console->network->openssh and enable openssh, openssh-sftp-server, openssh-sshd, openssh-scp.
Go to root level by selection of Exit four times.
Enable Package Management
Package management feature can allow the board to install and upgrade software packages on the fly.
In rootfs config go to Image Features and enable package-management and debug_tweaks option
Click OK, Exit twice and select Yes to save the changes.
Disable CPU IDLE in Kernel Config
CPU IDLE would cause processors get into IDLE state (WFI) when the processor is not in use. When JTAG is connected, the hardware server on host machine talks to the processor regularly. If it talks to a processor in IDLE status, the system will hang because of incomplete AXI transactions.
So, it is recommended to disable the CPU IDLE feature during project development phase.
It can be re-enabled after the design has completed to save power in final products.
Launch kernel config:
$ petalinux-config -c kernel
Ensure the following items are TURNED OFF by entering 'n' in the [ ] menu selection:
CPU Power Management->CPU Idle->CPU idle PM support
CPU Power Management->CPU Frequency scaling->CPU Frequency scaling
Exit and Yes to Save changes.
Add EXT4 rootfs Support
Let PetaLinux generate EXT4 rootfs. In terminal, execute:
$ petalinux-config
Go to Image Packaging Configuration.
Enter into Root File System Type
Select Root File System Type EXT4
Set the “Device node” of SD device to value
/dev/mmcblk0p2

Let Linux Use EXT4 rootfs During Boot
The setting of which rootfs to use during boot is controlled by bootargs. We would change bootargs settings to allow Linux to boot from EXT4 partition.
In terminal, execute:
$ petalinux-config
Change DTG settings->Kernel Bootargs->generate boot args automatically to NO.
Update User Set Kernel Bootargs to:
earlycon console=ttyPS0,115200 clk_ignore_unused root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw rootwait cma=512M
Click OK, Exit three times and Save.
Build PetaLinux Image
In terminal, build the PetaLinux project by executing:
$ petalinux-build
The PetaLinux image files will be generated in the directory:
~/work/TE0802_02_240/test_board/os/petalinux/images/linux
Generation of PetaLinux takes some time and requires Ethernet connection and sufficient free disk space.
Create Petalinux SDK
The SDK is used by Vitis tool to cross compile applications for newly created platfom.
In terminal, execute:
$ petalinux-build --sdk
The generated sysroot package sdk.sh will be located in directory
~/work/TE0802_02_240/test_board/os/petalinux/images/linux
Generation of SDK package takes some time and requires sufficient free disk space.
Time needed for these two steps depends also on number of allocated processor cores.
Copy Files for Extensible Platform
Copy these four files:
| Files | From | To |
|---|---|---|
| bl31.elf pmufw.elf system.dtb u-boot-dtb.elf | ~/work/TE0802_02_240/test_board/os/petalinux/images/linux | ~/work/TE0802_02_240/test_board_pfm/pfm/boot |

~/work/TE0802_02_240_move
into ZIP archive:
~/work/TE0802_02_240_move.zip
The archive TE0802_02_240_move.zip can be used to create extensible platform on the same or on an another PC with installed Ubuntu 20.04 and Vitis tools, with or without installed Petalinux. The archive includes all needed components, including the Xilinx xrt library and the script sdk.sh serving for generation of the sysroot .
The zip archive has size approximately 5.3 GB.
Move the TE0802_02_240_move.zip file to an PC disk drive.
Delete:
~/work/TE0802_02_240_move
~/work/TE0802_02_240_move.zip
Clean the Ubuntu Trash.
Generation of SYSROOT
This part of development can be direct continuation of the previous Petalinux configuration and compilation steps.
Alternatively, it is also possible to implement all next steps on an Ubuntu 20.04 without installed PetaLinux Only the Ubuntu 20.04 and Vitis/Vivado installation is needed.
All required files created in the PetaLinux for the specific board (24) are present in the archive: TE0802_02_240_move.zip
In this case, unzip the archive to the directory:
