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

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/Vitis GUI. For currently Scripts limitations on Win and Linux OS see: Project Delivery Currently limitations of functionality

1. Run _create_win_setup.cmd/_create_linux_setup.sh and follow instructions on shell:

   _create_win_setup.cmd/_create_linux_setup.sh

   ------------------------Set design paths----------------------------
   -- Run Design with: _create_win_setup
   -- Use Design Path: <absolute project path>
   --------------------------------------------------------------------
   -------------------------TE Reference Design---------------------------
   --------------------------------------------------------------------
   -- (0)  Module selection guide, project creation...prebuilt export...
   -- (1)  Create minimum setup of CMD-Files and exit Batch
   -- (2)  Create maximum setup of CMD-Files and exit Batch
   -- (3)  (internal only) Dev
   -- (4)  (internal only) Prod
   -- (c)  Go to CMD-File Generation (Manual setup)
   -- (d)  Go to Documentation (Web Documentation)
   -- (g)  Install Board Files from Xilinx Board Store (beta)
   -- (a)  Start design with unsupported Vivado Version (beta)
   -- (x)  Exit Batch (nothing is done!)
   ----
   Select (ex.:'0' for module selection guide):

2. Press 0 and enter to start "Module Selection Guide"
3. Create project and follow instructions of the product selection guide, settings file will be configured automatically during this process.
   

   • 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 also Vivado Board Part Flow

     Important: Use Board Part Files, which did not end with *_tebf0808

4. Create hardware description file (.xsa file) and export to prebuilt folder

   run on Vivado TCL (Script generates design and export files into "<project folder>\prebuilt\hardware\<short name>")

   TE::hw_build_design -export_prebuilt

   Using Vivado GUI is the same, except file export to prebuilt folder.

5. Generate Programming Files with Vitis

   run on Vivado TCL (Script generates applications and bootable files, which are defined in "test_board\sw_lib\apps_list.csv")

   TE::sw_run_vitis -all
   TE::sw_run_vitis (optional; Start Vitis from Vivado GUI or start with TE Scripts on Vivado TCL)

   TCL scripts generate also platform project, this must be done manually in case GUI is used. See Vitis

Launch

Programming

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

Get prebuilt boot binaries

1. Run _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 folder>\_binaries_<Article Name>" with subfolder "boot_<app name>" for different applications will be generated

QSPI-Boot mode

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"

   run on Vivado TCL (Script programs BOOT.bin on QSPI flash)

   TE::pr_program_flash -swapp hello_te0808

SD-Boot mode

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

JTAG

Load configuration and Application with Vitis Debugger into device

Usage

QSPI Boot:

1. Prepare HW like described on section Programming
2. Connect UART USB (most cases same as JTAG)

3. Select QSPI as Boot Mode

   Note: See TRM of the Carrier, which is used.

4. Power On PCB

   boot process

   1. ZynqMP Boot ROM FSBL from QSPI into OCM,

   2. FSBL init the PS, programs the PL using the bitstream and loads PMU, ATF and U-boot from QSPI into DDR
