Reference-Design: Getting Started

• Install Xilinx Vivado Design Suite or Xilinx Vivado Webpack (free license for some FPGA only: see http://www.xilinx.com/products/design-tools/vivado/vivado-webpack.html)
  (optional) Install Xilinx Vivado LabTools (Lab Edition)
• Configure the reference-design:
  1. Open “design_basic_settings.cmd” with a text-editor:
      a. Set correct Xilinx Environment:
          @set XILDIR=C:/Xilinx
          @set VIVADO_VERSION=2015.4
          Program settings will be search in :
          %XILDIR%/VIVADO/%VIVADO_VERSION%/
          %XILDIR%/Vivado_Lab/%VIVADO_VERSION%/
          %XILDIR%/SDK/%VIVADO_VERSION%/
          Example directory: c:/Xilinx/Vivado/2015.4/
      b. Set the correct module part-number:
          @set PARTNUMBER=x
          You found the available Module Numbers in ./board_files/<board_series>_board_files.csv
      c. Set Application name (for programming with batch-files only):
          @set SWAPP=NA
          NA (No Software Project) used *.bit or *.mcs from <design_name>/prebuilt/hardware/<board_file_shortname>
         <app_name> (Software Project) used *.bit or *.mcs or *.bin from <design_name>/prebuilt/boot_images/<board_file_shortname>/<app_name>
• Create all prebuilt files in one step:
  2. Run “design_run_project_batchmode.cmd”
• (optional to Step 2) Create all prebuilt files in single steps:
  3. Run “vivado_create_project_guimode.cmd”:
      A Vivado Project will be create and open  in ./vivado
  4. Type “TE::hw_build_design” on Vivado TCL-Console:
      Run Synthese, Implement and create Bitfile and optional MCSfile
  5. Type “TE::sw_run_hsi” on Vivado TCL-Console:
      Create all Software Applications from ./sw_lib/apps_list.csv
  6. (optional to Step 5) Type “TE::sw_run_sdk” on Vivado TCL-Console:
      Create a SDK Project in <design_name>/workspace/sdk
      Include Hardwaredefinition, Bitfile annd local Software libraries from  in <design_name>/sw_lib

• Programming FPGA or Flash Memory with prebuilt Files:
  7. Connect your Hardware-Modul with PC via JTAG.
  With Batch-file:
  8. (optional) Zynq-Devices Flash Programming (*.bin):
      Run “program_flash_binfile.cmd”
  9. (optional) FPGA-Device Flash Programming (*.mcs):
      Run “program_flash_mcsfile.cmd”
  10. (optional) FPGA-Device Programming (*.bit):
        Run “program_fpga_bitfile.cmd”
  With Vivado/Labtools TCL-Console:
  11. Run “vivado_open_existing_project_guimode.cmd” or “labtools_open_project_guimode.cmd” to open Vivado  or LabTools
  12. (optional) Zynq-Devices Flash Programming (*.bin):
        Type “TE::pr_program_flash_binfile -swap <app_name>” on Vivado TCL-Console
        Used *.bin from <design_name>/prebuilt/boot_images/<board_file_shortname>/<app_name>
  13. (optional) FPGA-Device Flash Programming (*.mcs):
        Type “TE:: pr_program_flash_mcsfile -swap <app_name>” on Vivado TCL-Console
        Used *.mcs from <design_name>/prebuilt/boot_images/<board_file_shortname>/<app_name>
  14. (optional) FPGA-Device Programming (*.bit):
       Type “TE:: pr_program_jtag_bitfile -swap <app_name>” on Vivado TCL-Console
       Used *.bit from <design_name>/prebuilt/boot_images/<board_file_shortname>/<app_name>
