Reference Design is only usable with the specified Vivado/Vitis/PetaLinux version. Do never use different Versions of Xilinx Software for the same Project.
Reference Design is available on:
Design Flow
Reference Design is available with and without prebuilt files. It's recommended to use TE prebuilt files for first launch.
Trenz Electronic provides a tcl based built environment based on Xilinx Design Flow.

- AMD Development Tools#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 executed by Xilinx Vivado/Vitis GUI. For currently Scripts limitations on Win and Linux OS see: Project Delivery Currently limitations of functionality
Caution! Win OS has a 260 character limit for path lengths which can affect the Vivado tools. To avoid this issue, use Virtual Drive or the shortest possible names and directory locations for the reference design (for example "x:\<project folder>")
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):
- Press 0 and enter to start "Module Selection Guide"
- 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 *_tebf0818
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.
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
Check Module and Carrier TRMs for proper HW configuration before you try any design.
Reference Design is also available with prebuilt files. It's recommended to use TE prebuilt files for first launch.
Xilinx documentation for programming and debugging: Vivado/Vitis/SDSoC-Xilinx Software Programming and Debugging
Get prebuilt boot binaries
- Run _create_win_setup.cmd/_create_linux_setup.sh and follow instructions on shell
- Press 0 and enter to start "Module Selection Guide"
- Select assembly version
- Validate selection
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
- Connect JTAG and power on carrier with module
- Set Boot Mode to JTAG
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_te0818
- Set Boot Mode to QSPI-Boot
- Depends on Carrier, see carrier TRM.
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
- Prepare HW like described on section Programming
- Connect UART USB (most cases same as JTAG)
Select QSPI as Boot Mode
Note: See TRM of the Carrier, which is used.
