Reference Design is only usable with the specified Vivado/SDK/PetaLinux/SDx version. Do never use different Versions of Xilinx Software for the same Project.

Reference Design is available on:

• TE0710 "Test Board" Reference Design

Design Flow

...

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:
   
2. Press 0 and enter for minimum setupto 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 TE Board Part Files
5. Create HDF 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 and image.ub) with exported HDFXSA
   
   1. HDF 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
         Note: run init_config.sh before you start petalinux config. This will set correct temporary path variable.
         Important Note: Select correct Flash partition offset on petalinux-config: Subsystem Auto HW Settings → Flash Settings,  FPGA+Boot+bootenv=0x900000 (increase automatically generate Boot partition)
7. Add Linux files (uboot.elf and image.ub) to prebuilt folder
   
   1. "prebuilt\os\petalinux\default" or "prebuilt\os\petalinux\<short name>"
      Notes: Scripts select "prebuilt\os\petalinux\<short name>", if exist, otherwise "prebuilt\os\petalinux\default"
8. Generate UBoot SREC:
   1. Create SDK Project with TE Scripts on Vivado TCL: TE::sw_run_sdk
   2. Create "uboot-dummy" application
      Note: Use Hello World Example
   3. Copy u-boot.elf into "\workspace\sdk\uboot-dummy\Debug"
   4. Open "uboot-dummy" properties → C/C++ Build → Settings and go into Build Steps Tap.
   5. Add to Post-build steps: mb-objcopy -O srec u-boot.elf u-boot.srec
   6. Press Apply or regenerate project
      Note: SREC is generated on "\workspace\sdk\uboot-dummy\Debug\u-boot.srec"
9. Generate Programming Files with HSI/SDK
   
   1. Run on Vivado TCL: TE::sw_run_hsi
      Note: Scripts generate applications and bootable files, which are defined in "sw_lib\apps_list.csv"
   2. (alternative) Start SDK with Vivado GUI or start with TE Scripts on Vivado TCL: TE::sw_run_sdk
      Note: See SDK Projects
10. Copy "\prebuilt\software\<short name>\srec_spi_bootloader.elf" into  "\firmware\microblaze_0\"
11. (optional) Copy "\\workspace\sdk\scu\Release\scu.elf" into  "\firmware\microblaze_mcs_0\"
12. Regenerate Vivado Project or Update Bitfile only with "srec_spi_bootloader.elf" and "scu.elf"

Xilinx documentation for programming and debugging: Vivado/SDK/SDSoC-Xilinx Software Programming and Debugging

QSPI

1. Connect JTAG and power on PCB
2. (if not done) Select correct device and Xilinx install path on "design_basic_settings.cmd" and create Vivado project with "vivado_create_project_guimode.cmd" or open with "vivado_open_project_guimode.cmd", if generated.
3. Type on Vivado Console: TE::pr_program_flash_mcsfile -swapp u-boot
   Note: Alternative use SDK or setup Flash on Vivado manually
4. Reboot (if not done automatically)

SD

Not used on this Example.

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. Power on PCB
   Note: FPGA Loads Bitfile from Flash, SREC Bootloader from Bitfile Firmware loads U-Boot into DDR (This takes a while), U-boot loads Linux from QSPI Flash into DDR

Boot process takes a while, please wait.

Linux

Note: Linux boot process is slower on Microblaze.

1. Open Serial Console (e.g. putty)
   
   1. Speed: 9600
   2. COM Port: Win OS, see device manager, Linux OS see  dmesg |grep tty  (UART is *USB1)
2. Linux Console:
   Note: Wait until Linux boot finished For Linux Login use:
   
   1. User Name: root
   2. Password: root
3. You can use Linux shell now.
   1. ETH0 works with udhcpc
      

Vivado HW Manager: 

1. Open Vivado HW-Manager and add VIO signal to dashboard (*.ltx located on prebuilt folder).
   1. User LED Control
   2. ETH Control and Link Status
   3. MicroBlaze Reset Status
