Note |

Reference Design is available with and without prebuilt files. It's recommended to use TE prebuilt files for first lunch. |
Trenz Electronic provides a tcl based built environment based on Xilinx Design Flow.
See also:
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/SDK GUI. For currently Scripts limitations on Win and Linux OS see: Project Delivery Currently limitations of functionality
- _create_win_setup.cmd/_create_linux_setup.sh and follow instructions on shell:
- Press 0 and enter for minimum setup
- (optional Win OS) Generate Virtual Drive or use short directory for the reference design (for example x:\<design name>)
- Create Project
- 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
- Select correct device and Xilinx install path on "design_basic_settings.cmd" and create Vivado project with "vivado_create_project_guimode.cmd"
- Create HDF and export to prebuilt folder
- 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
- Run on Vivado TCL: TE::hw_build_design -export_prebuilt
- Create Linux (uboot.elf and image.ub) with exported HDF
- HDF is exported to "prebuilt\hardware\<short name>"
Note: HW Export from Vivado GUI create another path as default workspace. - Create Linux images on VM, see PetaLinux KICKstart
- Use TE Template from /os/petalinux
Note: run init_config.sh before you start petalinux config. This will set correct temporary path variable.
- Use TE Template from /os/petalinux
- HDF is exported to "prebuilt\hardware\<short name>"
- Add Linux files (uboot.elf and image.ub) to prebuilt folder
- "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"
- "prebuilt\os\petalinux\default" or "prebuilt\os\petalinux\<short name>"
- Generate Programming Files with HSI/SDK
- Run on Vivado TCL: TE::sw_run_hsi
Note: Scripts generate applications and bootable files, which are defined in "sw_lib\apps_list.csv" - (alternative) Start SDK with Vivado GUI or start with TE Scripts on Vivado TCL: TE::sw_run_sdk
Note: See SDK Projects
- Run on Vivado TCL: TE::sw_run_hsi

and create Vivado project with "vivado_create_project_guimode.cmd" or
open with "vivado_open_project_guimode.cmd", if generated.
Type on Vivado Console: TE::pr_program_flash_mcsfile -swapp u-boot
Note: Alternative use SDK or setup Flash on Vivado manually
Reboot (if not done automatically)

There are 3 larger Linux demo projects demonstrating video processing with data I/O from file to file. Source code of these projects have been installed into this platform from the Xilinx SDSoC 2016.4 release:
- file_io_manr_sobel
- file_io_optical
- file_io_sbm
These larger Linux demo projects demonstrate video processing with data I/O from file to file. Source code of these projects have been installed into this platform from demos present in the Xilinx SDSoC 2016.4 release.
Compilation steps in the SDSoC 2017.1 is identical to above described examples. File I/O demos support only the Linux target.
These three files use as an input larger video files. These files have to be present on the SD card as an input. Algorithms write output file to the SD card. These files can be visualized by YUV Player Deluxe and other players. To reduce size of the project, the video data files are not included.
Video input files can be found in the Xilinx SDSoC 2016.4 distribution:
- <xilinx install path>\SDx\2016.4\samples\file_io_manr_sobel\input.yuv

File IO Video Processing
Linux video processing application that reads input video from a file and writes out the output video to a file. Video processing includes Motion Adaptive Noise Reduction (MANR) followed by a Sobel filter for edge detection. You can run it by supplying a 1080p YUV422 file as input with limiting number of frames to a maximum of 20 frames.
Key Concepts:
- Video processing from file to file
- Direct connection of HW accelerated blocks
Select the "File IO Video Processing" template an compile for Linux target as project te22. Copy result to root of SD card. Copy also the input file input.yuv (82 944 000 bytes) to the root of the SD card. Login and cd to /media Run demo from terminal or from display+keyboard by comman ./te22.elf ./input.yuv 20 3 ./output.yuv
The output.yuv file contains 20 frames of 1080p vido in YUV422 format with computed edges. Copy output.yuv file to PC and visualise it in yuvplayer (size 1920x1080 colour YUV422).
File IO Dense Optical Flow
Linux video processing application that reads input video from a file and writes out the output video to a file. Video processing performs LK Dense Optical Flow over two Full HD frames video file. You can run it by supplying a 1080p YUV422 file route85_1920x1080.yuv as input.
