Note
Reference Design is available with and without prebuilt files. It's recommended to use TE prebuilt files for first lunch.

Trenz Electronic provides a tcl based built environment based on Xilinx Design Flow.

See also:

• Xilinx Development Tools
• Vivado Projects - TE Reference Design
• Project Delivery.

The Trenz Electronic FPGA Reference Designs are TCL-script based project. Command files for execution will be generated with "_create_win_setup.cmd" on Windows OS and "_create_linux_setup.sh" on Linux OS.

TE Scripts are only needed to generate the vivado project, all other additional steps are optional and can also executed by Xilinx Vivado/SDK GUI.  For currently Scripts limitations on Win and Linux OS see: Project Delivery Currently limitations of functionality

1. _create_win_setup.cmd/_create_linux_setup.sh and follow instructions on shell:
   Image Removed
2. Press 0 and enter to start "Module Selection Guide"
3. (optional Win OS) Generate Virtual Drive or use short directory  for the reference design (for example x:\<design name>)
4. Create Project (follow instruction of the product selection guide), settings file will be configured automatically during this process
   
   1. (optional for manual changes) Select correct device and Xilinx install path on "design_basic_settings.cmd" and create Vivado project with "vivado_create_project_guimode.cmd"
      Note: Select correct one, see also TE Board Part Files
5. Create XSA and export to prebuilt folder
   
   1. Run on Vivado TCL: TE::hw_build_design -export_prebuilt
      Note: Script generate design and export files into \prebuilt\hardware\<short dir>. Use GUI is the same, except file export to prebuilt folder
6. Create Linux (uboot.elf, boot.src and image.ub) with exported XSA
   
   1. XSA is exported to "prebuilt\hardware\<short name>"
      Note: HW Export from Vivado GUI create another path as default workspace.
   2. Create Linux images on VM, see PetaLinux KICKstart
      1. Use TE Template from /os/petalinux
7. Add Linux files (uboot.elf and image.ub) to prebuilt folder
   
   1. "prebuilt\os\petalinux\<ddr size>" or "prebuilt\os\petalinux\<short name>"
      Notes: Scripts select "prebuilt\os\petalinux\<short name>", if exist, otherwise "prebuilt\os\petalinux\<DDR size>" of the selected device
8. Generate Programming Files with Vitis
   
   • Run on Vivado TCL: TE::sw_run_vitis -all
     Note: Depending of PC performance this can take several minutes. Scripts generate applications and bootable files, which are defined in "sw_lib\apps_list.csv" and open Vitis
   • (alternative) Start Vitis with Vivado GUI or start with TE Scripts on Vivado TCL: TE::sw_run_vitis
     Note:  TCL scripts generate also platform project, this must be done manuelly in case GUI is used. See Vitis

   Tip

   Starting with Petalinux version 2020.1, the industry standard "Distro-Boot" boot flow for U-Boot was introduced, which significantly expands the possibilities of the boot process and has the primary goal of making booting much more standardised and predictable. The boot options described above describe the common boot processes for this hardware; other boot options are possible. For more information see Distro Boot with Boot.scr
