Update the XPS project (add more than 10 images)

To use the "demo" application contained in TE0xxx-Reference-Designs\reference-TE0xxx\SDK\SDK_Workspace, you should ⁽¹⁾:

• copy GitHub's "TE-EDK-IP" folder (from https://github.com/Trenz-Electronic/TE-EDK-IP) to the folder that contains the folder "reference-TE0xxx":

1. 1. C:\XilinxProject, if you have copied the folder "TE0xxx-Reference-Designs\reference-TE0xxx" to "C:\XilinxProject" ( "C:\XilinxProject\reference-TE0xxx" and "C:\XilinxProject\TE-EDK-IP");

   2. otherwise you must copy the contents of GitHub's 'TE-EDK-IP' folder inside the already existent empty folder "TE0xxx-Reference-Designs\TE-EDK-IP".

...

• 300 for TE0300 project: unfortunately they are in the same folder TE03xx
• 320 for TE0320 project: unfortunately they are in the same folder TE03xx
• 630 for TE0630 project

Update the SDK project (add more than 10 images)

When Xilinx SDK open, you should:

1) Set the repositories for device driver of custom block used in SDK Microblaze project

• click Xilinx "Xilinx Tools" and then "Repositories"

...

• click "Apply"
• you should click "OK"
• after this you must wait until the building procedure ended.

2) Create an Hardware Platform Specification Project

• You should click "File" >"New" > "Project"

...

Scroll pdf title
title ReferenceHWplatform

3) Create a Board Support Package Project

• You should click "File" >"New" > "Project"
• a pop up "New Project" will appears
• click"Xilinx">"Board Support Package", then next
• a new pop up "New Board Support Package Project" will appear;

...

• after this you should click "standalone" and set "stdin" and "stdout" to "rs232" or "debug_module"

1. 1. you should select "rs232" if you desire to use an external UART
   2. you should select "debug_module" if you desire that the XMD_UART works as local UART through the JTAG connection

...

If the HDL design was successfully implemented and downloaded to the TE0300/TE0320/TE0630 family module, you can proceed to compile the MB software. Press the "build all user applications" button.

Run the demo project

Use the demo project with the XMD UART

PLACEHOLDER START

When application demo is compiled, you can click on the "Start XMD" button to download the hw_test application and open a UART terminal. 
Open the project by double-clicking on the system.xmp file. The Xilinx Platform Studio is opened. To compile the project press the "Download Bitstream to the FPGA" button.

Before running the demo application, open the #project_root#\xmd.ini file:
1.rst
2.dow sw/test_hw.elf
3.#dow sw/demo.elf
4.run
5.terminal -jtag_uart_server 4321
To run the demo application
uncomment line 3 (remove "#")
comment line 2 (add "#" as first character)
save xmd.ini.
type "exit" in XMD command window
restart XMD by clicking again the "Start XMD" button in the XPS toolbar.
With this application, you can test the PC ↔ FPGA communication using a provided API.
If you want to input some characters to the XMD UART, then open some terminal emulators, such as Microsoft / Hilgraeve HyperTerminal (usually included in Windows START MENU / All programs / Acessories / Communications / Hyper Terminal). Connect using the following settings:
No Host address
Port Number: 4321
TCP/IP connection type

...

The UART settings are:
bits per seconds: 115,200
data bits: 8
parity: none
stop bits: 1
flow control: none (otherwise you will not be able to enter commands)
The UART port will output something of tis kind:
-Entering main TE0300 DEMO ver 0x07010218-
Setting up Interrupt Controller:
Initialize exception handling
Register external interrupt handler
Register I2C_SLAVE interrupt handler
Enable interrupts in the interrupt controller
Start the interrupt controller
Enabling and initializing instruction cache
Enabling and initializing data cache
Type:
'a' RAM test
'f' RAM Ftest
'c' toggles caching
'g' prints switches state and board revision
't' starts TX transmission
'r' starts RX transmission
's' stops all transmissions
'm' for the redraw menu
MicroBlaze will work even in case the UART port is left unconnected.

PLACEHOLDER STOP

Use the demo project without the XMD UART

To use the demo project without the XMD UART, you need to use "RS232" instead of "debug_module" as standard in/out port. Otherwise the application running on the Microblaze processor freezes if you disconnect the XMD. To accomplish that you need to set up the Microblaze "Software Platform Settings".
