Download

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.

Design Flow

<!--
Basic Design Steps
Add/ Remove project specific 
  -->


Reference Design is available with and without prebuilt files. It's recommended to use TE prebuilt files for first lunch.

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

See also:

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 for minimum setup
  3. (optional Win OS) Generate Virtual Drive or use short directory  for the reference design (for example x:\<design name>)
  4. Create Project
    1. 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 HDF
    1. HDF 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
        Note: run init_config.sh before you start petalinux config. This will set correct temporary path variable.
  7. Add Linux files (uboot.elf and image.ub) to prebuilt folder
    1. "prebuilt\os\petalinux\default" or "prebuilt\os\petalinux\<short name>"
      Notes: Scripts select "prebuilt\os\petalinux\<short name>", if exist, otherwise "prebuilt\os\petalinux\default"
  8. Generate Programming Files with HSI/SDK
    1. Run on Vivado TCL: TE::sw_run_hsi
      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_sdk
      Note: See SDK Projects

SDSoC (only tested on Win OS)

  1. Generate Platform Project or use prebuilt from download
  2. ...

Launch

Programming

<!--
Description of Block Design, Constrains...
BD Pictures from Export...
  -->


Check Module and Carrier TRMs for proper HW configuration before you try any design.

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

QSPI

Not used on this Example.

<!--
Example:
Connect JTAG and power on PCB
(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.
Type on Vivado Console: TE::pr_program_flash_mcsfile -swapp u-boot
Note: Alternative use SDK or setup Flash on Vivado manually
Reboot (if not done automatically)

   -->

SD

  1. Copy image.ub and Boot.bin on SD-Card.
  2. Set Boot Mode to SD-Boot.
  3. Insert SD-Card in SD-Slot.

JTAG

Not used on this Example.

Usage

  1. Prepare HW like described on section Programming
  2. Connect UART USB (most cases same as JTAG)
  3. Select SD Card as Boot Mode
    Note: See TRM of the Carrier, which is used.
  4. Power On PCB
    Note: 1. Zynq Boot ROM loads FSBL from SD into OCM, 2. FSBL loads U-boot from SD into DDR, 3. U-boot load Linux from SD into DDR

Linux

  1. Open Serial Console (e.g. putty)
    1. Speed: 115200
    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
