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

See also:

• Xilinx AMD Development ToolsTools#XilinxSoftware-BasicUserGuides
• 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 be 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 to 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"
      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 XSA
   
   1. XSA 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
      2. For 128MB and 64MB only:Netboot Offset must be reduced manually, see 68616320
   3. Build the Debian image/Ubuntu image file with executing the "mkdebian_Demo2_stretch.sh"/"mkubuntu_Demo2.sh" file in Linux Terminal
7. Add Linux files (uboot.elf and image.ub) to prebuilt folder
   
   1. "prebuilt\os\petalinux\<DDR size>" or "prebuilt\os\petalinux\<short name>"
      Notes: Scripts select "prebuilt\os\petalinux\<DDR size>", if exist, otherwise "prebuilt\os\petalinux\<short name>"
8. Generate Programming Files with Vitis
   
   1. Run on Vivado TCL: TE::sw_run_vitis -all
      Note: Scripts generate applications and bootable files, which are defined in "sw_lib\apps_list.csv"
   2. (alternative) Start Vitis with Vivado GUI or start with TE Scripts on Vivado TCL: TE::sw_run_vitis
      Note:  TCL scripts generate also platform project, this must be done manuelly in case GUI is used. See Vitis

...

1. Connect JTAG and power module (TE0726 can be powered via JTAG USB or external)
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 (zynqmp_fsbl_flash) on setup
            optional "TE::pr_program_flash _binfile -swapp hello_te0726" possible
4. Format the SD Card with SD Card Formatter or other tool
5. Write the Debian image or Ubuntu image file on SD Card with Win32DiskImager
6. Copy the Petalinux image.ub on SD-Card if you use Debian
   
   • For correct prebuilt file location, see <design_name>/prebuilt/readme_file_location.txt
7. Insert SD-Card
