Reference Design is available on:

• TE0715 "Test Board" Reference Design

Design Flow

...

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

See also:

• Vivado/SDK/SDSoCXilinx 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/SDK 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:
   Image RemovedImage Added
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"
   2. Note: Select correct one, see TE Board Part Files
5. Create HDF 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 HDF
   1. HDF 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.
7. Add Linux files (uboot.elf and image.ub) to prebuilt folder
   1. "prebuilt\os\petalinux\default<ddr size>" or "prebuilt\os\petalinux\<short name>"Notes: Scripts select "prebuilt\os\petalinux\<short name>", if exist, otherwise "prebuilt\os\petalinux\default"
8. Generate Programming Files with HSI/SDK
   1. Run on Vivado TCL: TE::
   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
      
      

...

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: TE::pr_program_flash_binfile -swapp u-boot
   Note: To program with SDK/Vivado GUI, use special FSBL (zynq_fsbl_flash) on setup
            optional "TE::pr_program_flash_binfile -swapp hello_te0715" possible
4. Copy image.ub on SD-CardInsert SD-Card
5. Set Boot Mode to QSPI-Boot and insered SD.
   • Depends on Carrier, see carrier TRM.

SD

1. Copy image.ub and Boot.bin on SD-Card.
   • For correct prebuilt file location, see <design_name>/prebuilt/readme_file_location.txt
2. Set Boot Mode to SD-Boot.
   • Depends on Carrier, see carrier TRM.
3. Insert SD-Card in SD-Slot.

...

1. Open Serial Console (e.g. putty)
   
   1. Speed: 115200
   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. I2C 1 Bus type: i2cdetect -y -r 1
   2. RTC check: dmesg | grep rtc
   3. ETH0 works with udhcpc

Vivado HW Manager 

1. Option Features
   1. Webserver to get access to Zynq
      1. insert IP on web browser to start web interface
   2. init.sh scripts
      1. add init.sh script on SD, content will be load automatically on startup (template included in ./misc/SD)

Vivado HW Manager 

...

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

• Monitoring:
  
  • Si5338 CLKS:
    • Set radix from VIO signals to unsigned integer.

...

• • • Note: Frequency Counter is inaccurate and displayed unit is Hz
    • MGT CLK is configured to 125MHz by default, FCLK is not configured by default (optional possible over FSBL → 50MHz on delivered configuration, see FSBL description).
