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:

• TE0712 "Test Board" Reference Design

Design Flow

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

See also:Xilinx Development Tools

• 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
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. 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
         Important Note: Select correct Flash partition offset on petalinux-config: Subsystem Auto HW Settings → Flash Settings,  FPGA+Boot+bootenv=0x900000 (increase automatically generate Boot partition), increase image size to A:, see TE0712 Test Board#Config
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\<short name>", if exist, otherwise "prebuilt\os\petalinux\<DDR size>" of the selected device

8. Generate Programming Files with Vitis
   
   1. Run on Vivado TCL: TE::sw_run_vitis -all
      Note: Depending of PC performance this can take several minutes. Scripts generate applications and bootable files, which are defined in "sw_lib\apps_list.csv" and open Vitis
   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
9. Copy "\prebuilt\software\<short name>\srec_spi_bootloader.elf" into  "\firmware\microblaze_0\"
10. (optional) Copy "\\workspace\sdk\scu\Release\scu.elf" into  "\firmware\microblaze_mcs_0\"
11. Regenerate Vivado Project or Update Bitfile only with "srec_spi_bootloader.elf" and "scu.elf"

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 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
             optional "TE::pr_program_flash_binfile -swapp hello_te0712" possible
4. Reboot (if not done automatically)

SD

Not used on this Example.

JTAG

Not used on this Example.

Usage

1. Prepare HW like described on section TE0712 Test Board#Programming
2. Connect UART USB (most cases same as JTAG)
3. Power on PCB
   Note: FPGA Loads Bitfile from Flash,MCS Firmware configure SI5338 and starts Microblaze, SREC Bootloader from Bitfile Firmware loads U-Boot into DDR (This takes a while), U-boot loads Linux from QSPI Flash into DDR
4. Open Serial Console (e.g. putty)
   
   1. Speed: 9600
   2. COM Port: Win OS, see device manager, Linux OS see  dmesg |grep tty  (UART is *USB1)

Boot process takes a while, please wait.

Linux

Note: Linux boot process is slower on Microblaze.

1. Open Serial Console (e.g. putty)
   
   1. Speed: 9600
   2. COM Port: Win OS, see device manager, Linux OS see  dmesg |grep tty  (UART is *USB1)
2. Linux Console:
   Note: Wait until Linux boot finished For Linux Login use:
   
   1. User Name: root
   2. Password: root
3. You can use Linux shell now.
   1. ETH0 works with udhcpc
      

Vivado HW Manager: 

• Open Vivado HW-Manager and add VIO signal to dashboard (*.ltx located on prebuilt folder).
  1. Set radix from VIO signals (MGT REF, MIG_OUT, CLK1B, CLK0) to unsigned integer.
     Note: Frequency Counter is inaccurate and displayed unit is Hz
• Monitoring:
  
  • MGT REF~125MHz, MIG_50MHZ~50MHz., CLK1B ~50MHz, CLK0~100MHz
  • System reset from MCS and GIO outputs
