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

• TE0722 "Test Board" Reference Design

Design Flow

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

See also:

• AMD Development Tools#XilinxSoftware-BasicUserGuides
• 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
   ------------------------Set design paths---------------------------- -- Run Design with: _create_win_setup -- Use Design Path: <absolute project path> -------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------TE Reference Design--------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- -- (0) Module selection guide, project creation...prebuilt export... -- (1) Create minimum setup of CMD-Files and exit Batch -- (2) Create maximum setup of CMD-Files and exit Batch -- (3) (internal only) Dev -- (4) (internal only) Prod -- (c) Go to CMD-File Generation (Manual setup) -- (d) Go to Documentation (Web Documentation) -- (g) Install Board Files from Xilinx Board Store (beta) -- (a) Start design with unsupported Vivado Version (beta) -- (x) Exit Batch (nothing is done!) ---- Select (ex.:'0' for module selection guide):

   
   

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. Createproject and follow instructions 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
      Note: Select correct one, see also Vivado Board Part Flow

      
      

5. 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.

   
   

6. Generate Programming Files with Vitis
   

   1. Run on Vivado TCL:

      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::sw_run_vitis -all

      Note: Scripts generate applications and bootable files, which are defined in "sw_lib\apps_list.csv"

   2. (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 
      Projects contains 3 FSBL template: zynq_fsbl (FSBL modified for DDR Less application → use for Boot.bin), zynq_fsbl_app (FSBL modified for DDR Less application and with demo app included → create Boot with this FSBL and Bitstream only), zynq_fsbl_flash(FSBL modified for Flash programming →FSBL which must be selected separately to program Flash)

      Info
      TE0722  is without DDR, so special FSBL (sources on reference designs) is needed, see also: DDR less ZYNQ Design

      
      

Launch

Basic Information, see TE0722 Getting Started

Programming

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

Get prebuilt boot binaries

1. Run _create_win_setup.cmd/_create_linux_setup.sh and follow instructions on shell
2. Press 0 and enter to start "Module Selection Guide"
   1. Select assembly version
   2. Validate selection

   3. Select create and open delivery binary folder

      Info
      Note: Folder "<project folder>\_binaries_<Article Name>" with subfolder "boot_<app name>" for different applications will be generated

      
      

QSPI-Boot mode

Set Board to JTAG Bootmode. Short pins of J4.

Option for Boot.bin on QSPI Flash

1. Connect JTAG and power on carrier with module
2. Open Vivado Project with "vivado_open_existing_project_guimode.cmd" or if not created, create with "vivado_create_project_guimode.cmd"

3. Type on Vivado TCL Console:

   Code Block
   language py theme Midnight title run on Vivado TCL (Script programs BOOT.bin on QSPI flash)
   TE::pr_program_flash

1. -swapp zynq_fsbl_app

   
   

SD-Boot mode

Xilinx Zynq devices in CLG225 package do not support SD Card boot directly from ROM bootloader. Use QSPI for primary boot and SD for secondary boot only. See also Xilinx AR#66846

JTAG

The JTAG Bootmode can be set on the newer pcb revisions, REV04+ (short both pins of J4)

Usage

1. Prepare HW like described on section

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

3. Power On PCB

1. Expand
   title boot process
   1. Zynq Boot ROM loads FSBL from SD/QSPI into OCM, 2. FSBL

1. init PS, programs PL using the bitstream 3. FSBL starts application (included into the FSBL Code)

Standalone Application

Note: UART over J2 is used, this is only available, if PL part is configured with correct UART connection.

1. Open Serial Console (e.g. putty)
   
   1. Speed: 115200

   2. select COM Port

1. 1. 
      

      Info
      Win OS, see device manager, Linux OS

1. 1. see dmesg |grep

1. 1. tty (UART is *USB1)

      
      

2. Output:
   1. Default output appears only

1. 1. a few seconds. Reboot device: force ResN

1. 1. pin to GND for short time, location see: TE0722 Getting Started

1. 1. 
      SD card FAT32 Format should be inserted for SD access.

Vivado HW Manager

Open Vivado HW-Manager and add VIO signal to dashboard (*.ltx located on prebuilt folder)

• Control:
  • Enable/Disable RGB LED Counter (default on)
  • Enable/Disable different colors (default

• • all off) - set to '1' to enable RGB LED
