The reference architecture can be tested in two ways:

To test the USB communication in the Reference Architecture case is necessary:
To completely test the Reference Architecture is necessary:
...
.bit or .mcs direct download iMPACT, OpenFut or OpenFutNet | 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 HW could take from 10 minutes to 1 hour(1) |
---|---|---|
| ||
Update XPS project from an old version to a new one | ||
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 | |
Generate a new link script | ||
Download the reference bitstream to the FPGA using iMPACT, Open_FUT or OpenFutNet | Download the reference bitstream to the FPGA using SDK | |
Run the demo project to run on board tests | ||
Check the fiirmware of FX2 microcontroler | ||
USB communication tests + DMA tests |

To use the "demo" application contained in TE0xxx-Reference-Designs\reference-TE0xxx\SDK\SDK_Workspace, you should (1) copy GitHub's "TE-EDK-IP" folder (from https://github.com/Trenz-Electronic/TE-EDK-IP) to the folder that contains the folder "reference-TE0xxx":
