Reference Design is available on:

• TE0821 "Test Board" Reference Design

Design Flow

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/Vitis GUI. For currently Scripts limitations on Win and Linux OS see: Project Delivery Currently limitations of functionality

1. Run _create_win_setup.cmd/_create_linux_setup.sh and follow instructions on shell:

   Code Block
   language bash theme Midnight title _create_win_setup.cmd/_create_linux_setup.sh

2. Press 0 and enter to start "Module Selection Guide"

3. Createproject and follow instructions of the product selection guide, settings file will be configured automatically during this process.

   • 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
     Note: Select correct one, see also Vivado Board Part Flow

     
     

4. Create hardware description file (.xsa file) for PetaLinux project and export to prebuilt folder

   Code Block
   language py theme Midnight title run on Vivado TCL (Script generates design and export files into "<project folder>\prebuilt\hardware\<short name>")
   TE::hw_build_design -export_prebuilt

   
   

   Info
   Using Vivado GUI is the same, except file export to prebuilt folder.

   
   

5. Create and configure your PetaLinux project with exported .xsa-file, see PetaLinux KICKstart

   • use TE Template from "<project folder>\os\petalinux"

   • use exported .xsa file from "<project folder>\prebuilt\hardware\<short name>" . Note: HW Export from Vivado GUI creates another path as default workspace.

   • The build images are located in the "<plnx-proj-root>/images/linux" directory

6. Configure the boot.scr file as needed, see Distro Boot with Boot.scr

7. Copy PetaLinux build image files to prebuilt folder

   • copy u-boot.elf, u-boot.dtb, system.dtb, image.ub, bl31.elf and boot.scr from "<plnx-proj-root>/images/linux" to prebuilt folder
     

     Info
     "<project folder>\prebuilt\os\petalinux\<ddr size>" or "<project folder>\prebuilt\os\petalinux\<short name>"

     
     

     Page properties

     This step depends on Xilinx Device/Hardware for Zynq-7000 series copy u-boot.elf, u-boot.dtb, system.dtb, image.ub and boot.scr from "<plnx-proj-root>/images/linux" to prebuilt folder for ZynqMP copy u-boot.elf, u-boot.dtb, system.dtb, bl31.elf, image.ub and boot.scr from "<plnx-proj-root>/images/linux" to prebuilt folder for Microblaze ...

     
     

8. Generate Programming Files with Vitis

   Code Block
   language py theme Midnight title run on Vivado TCL (Script generates applications and bootable files, which are defined in "test_board\sw_lib\apps_list.csv")
   TE::sw_run_vitis -all TE::sw_run_vitis (optional; Start Vitis from Vivado GUI or start with TE Scripts on Vivado TCL)

   
   

   Note
   TCL scripts generate also platform project, this must be done manually in case GUI is used. See Vitis

   \

   1. " with subfolder "boot_

   linux" from generated binary folder,see: Get prebuilt boot binaries

3. or use prebuilt file location, see "<project folder>\prebuilt\file_location.txt"

3. Insert SD-Card in SD-Slot.

JTAG

Not used on this Example.

Usage

1. Prepare HW like described on section Programming

2. Connect UART USB (most cases same as JTAG)

3. Select SD Card or QSPI as Boot Mode (Depends on used programming variant)

   Info
   Note: See TRM of the Carrier, which is used.

   
   

   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

   
   

4. Power On PCB

   Expand
   title boot process
   1. ZynqMP Boot ROM loads PMU Firmware and  FSBL from SD/QSPI Flash into OCM 2. FSBL init PS, programs PL using the bitstream and loads U-boot from SD into DDR, 3. U-boot loads Linux (image.ub) from SD/QSPI/... into DDR

   
   

Linux

1. Open Serial Console (e.g. putty)

   1. Speed: 115200

   2. Select COM Port
      

      Info
      Win OS, see device manager, Linux OS see dmesg |grep tty (UART is *USB1)

      
      

2. Linux Console:
   

   Code Block
   language bash theme Midnight
   # password default disabled with 2021.2 petalinux release petalinux login: root Password: root

   
   

   Info
   Note: Wait until Linux boot finished

   
   

3. You can use Linux shell now.
   

   Code Block
   language bash theme Midnight Midnight
   Ethernet ifconfig (display all active interface details) ifconfig eth1 upi2cdetect -y -r 0 (check I2C 0 Bus) dmesg | grep rtc (RTC check) udhcpc (activate the (ETH0 check) lsusb eth1 interface) udhcpc -i eth1 (negotiate an IP address (USB check)for eth1)

   
   

4. Option Features

   • Webserver to get access to Zynq

     • insert IP on web browser to start web interface

   • init.sh scripts

     • add init.sh script on SD, content will be load automatically on startup (template included in "<project folder>\misc\SD")

   
   

Vivado HW Manager

Monitoring:

• SI5338_CLK0 Counter:

  • Set radix from VIO signals to unsigned integer.
    Note: Frequency Counter is inaccurate and displayed unit is Hz for CLK signals

• SI5338 CLK1 is configured to 200MHz by default and SI5338 CLK3 is configured to 125MHz by default.

Control:

• Simple loopback vio_test_in test_out

• LED over X0/X1 , see TE0821 CPLD#LED
