Procedure SDK: opening and update SDK project only Compile and link time less than 1 minute. | Procedure XPS+SDK: opening and update both XPS and SDK projects Resynthesis of reference project (HW component updates) could take from 10 minutes to 1 hour; it depends on which computer is used (workstation, regular PC or low-end PC) |
|---|---|
| Update XPS project from an old version to a new one. | |
Export the HW project to SDK. | |
| Open SDK project and (if needed) update the SDK project from an old version to a new one | Recreate SDK project using the new exported HW project; |
| Download the bitstream to the FPGA, | |
| Check the fiirmware of FX2 microcontroler | |
| run Run the demo project. | |
| USB communication tests + DMA tests | |
...
- If the FX2 microcontroller has not been programmed before, please follow the instructions here and here. You can use Cypress, Python OpenFut or C# OpenFutNet programs.
- If you are sure that the FX2 microcontroller is properly connected, you can connect to the TE0300/TE0320/TE0630 module with a JTAG adapter cable. We recommend using the Xilinx Platform Cable USB.
- Then connect the TE0300/TE0320/TE0630 module to a USB cable.
5) Run the demo project
Use the demo project with the XMD UART
| Tip |
|---|
| Demo program (running on MicroBlaze) will work even in case the UART port is left unconnected: it is not necessary to use a USB/Uart converter or Uart port on a PC, if you are using XMD UART HDL block. |
With this application, you can test the PC ↔ USB ↔ JTAG ↔ FPGA communication using a simulated UART (XMD_UART) on JTAG/USB connection.
If you want to input some characters to the XMD UART, then open some terminal emulators,such as
- Microsoft / Hilgraeve HyperTerminal (usually included in Windows before Vista START MENU > All programs > Acessories > Communications > Hyper Terminal).
- ClearTerminal (very easy)
Connect using the following settings:
- No Host address
- Port Number: 4321
- TCP/IP connection type
The UART settings are:
- bits per seconds: 115,200
- data bits: 8
- parity: none
- stop bits: 1
- flow control: none (otherwise you will not be able to enter commands)
Method A) XMD console, automatic
- Configure Jtag_Uart using "Debug" > "Debug Configuration"
- Run XMD console using "Debug" > "Launch XMD"
- Run ClearTerminal Console
Method B) Manual
- Configure debug
- Change perspective from programming to debug selecting "Window" > "Open Perspective" > "Debug"
