Basic description of TE Board Part Files is available on TE Board Part Files.

Complete List is available on <design name>/board_files/*_board_files.csv

Design supports following modules:

Note: Design contains also Board Part Files for TE0803+TEBF0808 configuration, this boart part files are not used for this reference design.

Design supports following carriers:

Reference Design is only usable with the specified Vivado/SDK/PetaLinux/SDx version. Do never use different Versions of Xilinx Software for the same Project.

Reference Design is available on:

• TE0803 "Test Board" Reference Design

Design Flow

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

See also:

• Xilinx Development Tools
• 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 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
      Important: Use Board Part Files, which did not ends with *_tebf0808
5. Create XSA 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 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 SDK 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

Launch

Programming

Xilinx documentation for programming and debugging: Vivado/SDK/SDSoC-Xilinx Software Programming and Debugging

Get prebuilt boot binaries

1. _create_win_setup.cmd/_create_linux_setup.sh and follow instructions on shell
2. Press 0 and enter to start "Module Selection Guide"
   1. Select assembly version
   2. Validate selection
   3. Select Create and open delivery binary folder
      Note: Folder (<project foler>/_binaries_<Artikel Name>) with subfolder (boot_<app name>) for different applications will be generated

QSPI

1. Connect JTAG and power on carrier with module
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 hello_te0803
   Note: To program with SDK/Vivado GUI, use special FSBL (zynqmp_fsbl_flash) on setup

SD

This does not work, because SD controller is not selected on PS.

JTAG

Load configuration and Application with SDK Debugger into device, see:

• SDK Projects
• SDK Projects#DebugSoftwareApplication

Usage

QSPI Boot:

1. Prepare HW like described on section Programming
2. Connect UART USB (most cases same as JTAG)
3. Select QSPI Card as Boot Mode
   Note: See TRM of the Carrier, which is used.
4. Power On PCB
   Note: 1. ZynqMP Boot ROM loads PMU Firmware and  FSBL from QSPI into OCM, 2. FSBL loads Application into DDR
