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

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 MCS Firmware (optional):
   1. Create SDK Project with TE Scripts on Vivado TCL: TE::sw_run_sdk
   2. Create "SCU" application
      Note: Select MCS Microblaze and SCU Application
   3. Select Release Built
   4. Regenerate App
7. (optional) Copy "\\workspace\sdk\scu\Release\scu.elf" into  "\firmware\microblaze_mcs_0\"
8. Regenerate Vivado Project or Update Bitfile only with "scu.elf"

QSPI

1. Connect JTAG and power on PCB
2. (if not done) Select correct device and Xilinx install path on "design_basic_settings.cmd" and create Vivado project with "vivado_create_project_guimode.cmd" or open with "vivado_open_project_guimode.cmd", if generated.
3. Type on Vivado Console: TE::pr_program_flash_mcsfile -swapp u-boot
   Note: Alternative use SDK or setup Flash on Vivado manually
4. Reboot (if not done automatically)

...

1. Open Vivado HW-Manager 
2. "Refresh device" is needed after Bitfile programming, because MCS reconfigure SI5338 and enables IBERT a little bit later.
   1. loopback depends on TEB0841 Revision an connection
