Copy the Hardware Defintition file to the working directory:<design_name>/workspace/hsi
Run HSI in <design_name>/workspace/hsi for all Programes listed in <design_name>/sw_lib/apps_list.csv
If HSI is finished, BIF-GEN and BIN-Gen are running for these Apps in the prepuilt folders <design_name>/prebuilt/...
You can deactivate different steps with following args :

  • -no_hsi  : *.elf filesgeneration is disabled
  • -no_bif   : *.bif files generation is disabled
  • -no_bin  : *.bin files generation is disabled
  • -no_bitmcs: *.bit and *.mcs file (with software design) is disabled
TE::sw_run_sdk[-open_only] [-update_hdf_only] [-prebuilt_hdf <arg>] [-clear] [-help]

Copies current Hardware files and reports from the vivado project to the prebuilt folder, if -prebuild_hdf <arg> isn't set.
Copy the Hardware Defintition file to the working directory:<design_name>/workspace/sdk

Programming
TE::pr_init_hardware_manager[-help]Open Hardwaremanager, autoconnect target device and initialise flash memory with configuration from *_board_files.csv.
TE::pr_program_jtag_bitfile[-used_board <arg>] [-swapp <arg>] [-available_apps] [-used_basefolder_bitfile] [-help]

Copies current Hardware files and reports from the vivado project to the prebuilt folder, if -used_board <arg> isn't set (Vivado only).
Programming Bitfile from <design_name>/prebuilt/hardware/<board_file_shortname> to the fpga device.
If "-used_basefolder_bitfile" is set, the Bitfile (*.bit)  from the base folder (<design_name>) is used instead of the prebuilts. Attention: Take only one Bitfile in the basefolder!

(MicroBlaze only) If "-swapp" is set, the Bitfile with *.elf configuration is used from <design_name>/prebuilt/boot_images/<board_file_shortname>/<app_name>

TE::pr_program_flash_binfile[-no_reboot] [-used_board <arg>] [-swapp <arg>] [-available_apps] [-force_hw_manager] [-used_basefolder_binfile] [-help]

Attention: For Zynq Systems only!
Program the Bootbin from <design_name>/prebuilt/boot_images/<board_file_shortname>/<app_name> to the fpga device.
Appname is selected with: -swapp <app_name>
After programming device reboot from memory will be done.
Default SDK Programmer is used, if not available LabTools Programmer is used.
If "-used_basefolder_binfile" is set, the Binfile (*.bin)  from the base folder (<design_name>) is used instead of the prebuilts. Attention: Take only one Binfile in the basefolder!

TE::pr_program_flash_mcsfile[-no_reboot] [-used_board <arg>] [-swapp <arg>] [-available_apps] [-used_basefolder_mcsfile] [-help]

Copies current Hardware files and reports from the vivado project to the prebuilt folder, if -used_board <arg> isn't set (Vivado only).

Programming  MCSfile from <design_name>/prebuilt/hardware/<board_file_shortname> to the Flash Device.
After programming device reboot from memory will be done.
If "-used_basefolder_binfile" is set, the MCSfile (*.mcs)  from the base folder (<design_name>) is used instead of  the prebuilts. Attention: Take only one MCSfile in the basefolder!

(MicroBlaze only) If "-swapp" is set, the MCSfile with *.elf configuration is used from <design_name>/prebuilt/boot_images/<board_file_shortname>/<app_name>

Utilities
TE::util_zip_project[-save_all] [-remove_prebuilt] [-manual_filename <arg>] [-help]

Make a Backup from your Project in <design_name>/backup/

Zip-Program Variable must be set in start_settings.cmd. Currently only 7-Zip is supported.

TE::util_package_length[-help]Export Package IO length information to *.csv on the doc folder

Design Environment: Usage

...

  1. Are you using exactly the same Vivado version? If not then the scripts will not work, no need to try.
  2. Ary you using Vivado in Windows PC? Vivado works in Linux also, but the scripts are tested on Windows only.
  3. Is you PC OS Installation English? Vivado may work on national versions also, but there have been known problems.
  4. Win OS only: Use short path name, OS allows only 256 characters in normal path.
  5. Linux OS only: Use bash as shell and add access rights to bash files. Check with "ls ls /bin/sh". It should be desplay: /bin/sh -> bash. Access rights can be changed with "chmod"
  6. Are space character on the project path? Somtimes TCL-Scripts can't handle this correctly. Remove spaces from project path.
  7. Did you have the newest reference design build version? Maybe it's only a bug from a older version.
  8. Check <design_name>/v_log/vivado.log? If no logfile exist, wrong xilinx paths are set in design_basic_settings.cmd
  9. On project creation process old files will be deleted. Sometimes the access will be denied by os (synchronisiation problem) and the scripts canceled. Please try again. 
  10. If nothing helps, send a mail to Trenz Electronic Support (support[at]trenz-electronic.de) with subject line "[TE-Reference Designs] ",  the complete zip-name from your reference design and the last log file (<design_name>/v_log/vivado.log)
