morning Bertl s3bastian

10:57

Bertl

here is how to boot the zedboard via jtag:

10:57

Bertl

you want to get the ZedBoard_CTT_v14.3_121017.zip for some files

10:58

Bertl

namely: ps7_init.tcl and stub.tcl

10:58

Bertl

you also need the following from your design:

10:59

Bertl

system.bit [PL bitstream]

10:59

Bertl

u-boot.elf or some other elf binary [PS 2nd stage]

11:00

Bertl

optionally (Linux Boot): zImage, ramdisk*.gz and devicetree.dtb

11:00

Bertl

start xmd, then in the xmd prompt do:

11:00

Bertl

connect arm hw

11:01

Bertl

fpga -f system.bit

11:01

Bertl

source ps7_init.tcl

11:01

Bertl

ps7_init

11:01

Bertl

init_user

11:01

Bertl

source stub.tcl

11:01

Bertl

target 64

11:01

Bertl

dow u-boot.elf

11:02

Bertl

con

11:03

Bertl

this will connect to the target, upload the fpga bitstream (PL), initialize memory and MIO devices (ps7_init/init_user) and load the second level bootloader (PS)

11:06

Bertl

the 'con' already starts the bootloader

11:06

Bertl

if you like, you can also upload the linux kernel, initramfs and the devicetree like this:

11:06

Bertl

dow -data zImage 0x8000

11:06

Bertl

dow -data ramdisk8M.image.gz 0x800000

11:07

Bertl

dow -data devicetree.dtb 0x1000000

11:07

Bertl

and boot the kernel/linux with:

11:07

Bertl

con 0x8000

11:07

Bertl

note that it takes quite a while to transfer the kernel and initramfs

11:16

s3bastian

good morning, just returned from the mensa for lunch ;)

11:17

s3bastian

sounds great, can I add that to the wiki?

11:17

Bertl

yeah, please, I have that on my todo list (the wiki) but please go ahead and put it there

11:19

s3bastian

well I can take care of documentation when you focus on the zedboard ;)

11:19

Bertl

deal! :)

11:19

s3bastian

xmd is the normal serial terminal console to the zedboard right?

11:19

Bertl

the debug/control environment via jtag

11:20

Bertl

I currently refer to it as the jtag interface (it does a lot more, but that is the main purpose)

11:20

Bertl

in contrast, the 'serial console' is the UART

11:21

s3bastian

I see, its a tool from xilinx right?

11:22

Bertl

yep, the zdeboard labels the connector (USB) as PROG

11:22

Bertl

the serial console (via UART) is labeled (UART)

11:22

s3bastian

do you have a URL at hand to acquire: http://zedboard_ctt_v14.3_121017.zip/

11:22

s3bastian

do you have a URL at hand to acquire: zedboard_ctt_v14.3_121017.zip/

100

11:22

Bertl

yep, sec, it can be downloaded from zedboard.org

101

104

11:24

s3bastian

xmd is integrated in the Eclipse IDE directly?

105

11:24

s3bastian

or how did you get it?

106

11:25

Bertl

yes, it is part of ISE, you can start it from commandline (as I do) or via the GUI

107

11:25

s3bastian

perfect, all added

108

11:25

s3bastian

great progress i would say!

109

11:25

s3bastian

well done

110

11:26

s3bastian

I cant tell you how grateful for all the work I am actually :)

111

11:26

Bertl

if you are at it, please also add the 'making jtag work' steps

112

11:26

Bertl

as they are a prerequisite to using xmd

113

11:26

s3bastian

will do

114

11:27

s3bastian

that was in this channel yesterday right?

115

11:27

Bertl

yep, if you need logs, just let me know

116

11:27

s3bastian

yes please

120

11:51

s3bastian

There is one sentence: The libCseDigilent_2.4.3-x86_64.tar.gz contains two files in ISE14x/plugin which need to be copied to the ISE plugin directory:

121

11:51

s3bastian

can you give me the names of the 2 files?, makes it a bit clearer I think

122

11:51

s3bastian

even if there are just the 2 ;)

123

12:05

Bertl

sure, sec
