• Vivado/SDK/SDSoC
• Vivado Projects
•  Project Delivery .- Xilinx devices

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. _create_win_setup.cmd/_create_linux_setup.sh and follow instructions on shell:
   
2. Press 0 and enter for minimum setup
3. (optional Win OS) Generate Virtual Drive or use short directory  for the reference design (for example x:\<design name>)
4. Create Project
   
   1. 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
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. 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
7. Copy Application (hello_te0725.elf) into \firmware\microblaze_0\
8. Regenerate Design:
   1. Run on Vivado TCL: TE::hw_build_design -export_prebuilt
      Note: App from Firmware folder will be add into BlockRAM. If you add other app, you must select *.elf manually on Vivado
   2. (alternative) Use SDK or Vivado to update generate Bitfile with new Application and regenerate mcs manually.
