The procedure is the following (step 1 is optional):

  1. update XPS project and export the HW project to SDK;
  2. open and update SDK project;
  3. download the bitstream to the FPGA,
  4. check the fiirmware of FX2 microcontroler;
  5. run the demo project.
  6. USB communication tests + DMA tests

1) Update XPS project and download bitstream to the FPGA

Tip

For old version of Xilinx EDK with older veresion of Project Reference (they do no longer exist on GitHub) the procedure is the folowing

  • Open the project by double-clicking on the system.xmp file. The Xilinx Platform Studio is opened.
  • If you open the project with a new version of Xilinx XPS, the tool will try to update all the components of MicroBlaze system. In some case it is not possible to refuse the update.
  • To compile the project press the "Download Bitstream to the FPGA" button.
  • 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.

Note
If this doesn't work, you should probably use the long (clean) procedure below. This procedure will also aid you if you are newcomer user of recent Xilinx XPS and SDK and desires to create your own project.

firmware of FX2 microcontroler

The FX2 microcontroller on the TE0300, TE0320 or TE0630 family should contain valid firmware before proceeding.
