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:

• TE0728 "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/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

   ----
   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

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 hardware description file (.xsa file) for PetaLinux project 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.

6. Create and configure your PetaLinux project with exported .xsa-file, see PetaLinux KICKstart
   • use TE Template from "<project folder>\os\petalinux"

   • use exported .xsa file from "<project folder>\prebuilt\hardware\<short name>" . Note: HW Export from Vivado GUI creates another path as default workspace.

   • The build images are located in the "<plnx-proj-root>/images/linux" directory

7. Configure the boot.scr file as needed, see Distro Boot with Boot.scr
   

8. Copy PetaLinux build image files to prebuilt folder

   • copy u-boot.elf, image.ub and boot.scr from "<plnx-proj-root>/images/linux" to prebuilt folder
     

     "<project folder>\prebuilt\os\petalinux\<ddr size>" or "<project folder>\prebuilt\os\petalinux\<short name>"

9. 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/SDK/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

Option for Boot.bin on QSPI Flash and image.ub and boot.scr on SD or USB.

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 u-boot
   TE::pr_program_flash -swapp hello_te0820 (optional)

   To program with Vitis/Vivado GUI, use special FSBL (fsbl_flash) on setup

3. Copy image.ub and boot.scr on SD or USB
   
   • use files from "<project folder>\_binaries_<Article Name>\boot_linux" from generated binary folder,see: Get prebuilt boot binaries
   • or use prebuilt file location, see "<project folder>\prebuilt\file_location.txt"
4. Set Boot Mode to QSPI-Boot and insert SD or USB.
   • Depends on Carrier, see carrier TRM.

SD-Boot mode

1. Copy image.ub, boot.src and Boot.bin on SD
   
   • use files from "<project folder>\_binaries_<Article Name>\boot_linux" from generated binary folder, see: Get prebuilt boot binaries
   • or use prebuilt file location, see "<project folder>\prebuilt\file_location.txt"
2. Set Boot Mode to SD-Boot.
   • Depends on Carrier, see carrier TRM.
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 (or QSPI - depending on step 1)

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

   Starting with Petalinux version 2020.1, the industry standard "Distro-Boot" boot flow for U-Boot was introduced, which significantly expands the possibilities of the boot process and has the primary goal of making booting much more standardised and predictable.
   The boot options described above describe the common boot processes for this hardware; other boot options are possible.
   For more information see Distro Boot with Boot.scr

4. Power On PCB

   boot process

   1. Zynq Boot ROM loads FSBL from SD/QSPI into OCM,

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

   3. U-boot loads Linux (image.ub) from SD/QSPI/... into DDR

Linux

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

   • select COM Port

     Win OS, see device manager, Linux OS see dmesg |grep tty (UART is *USB1)

2. Linux Console:
   

   petalinux login: root
   Password: root

   Note: Wait until Linux boot finished

3. You can use Linux shell now.

   i2cdetect -y -r 0	              (check I2C 0 Bus)
   dmesg | grep rtc	              (RTC check)
   udhcpc				              (ETH0/ETH1 check)
   cd /etc/init.d/networking restart (Network setting can be reset if it is necessary)
   ifconfig            (It is visible that both ethernet devices eth0 and eth1 have their own IP address.)
