ZUBoard 1CG is compatible with Petalinux 2023.2?

FerLara — Wed, 18 Sep 2024 11:18:52 GMT

Dear all,

I have a question regarding Petalinux 2023.2 and ZUBoard 1CG, both are compatible?? I was building a linux image using that petalinux version with the appropiated BSP (version 2023) and .xsa file designed for me with Vivado tool.

Although, an error appeared during petalinux-build command execution, that is, label or path not found: axi_iic_0. It is true that label is not found on my block design in Vivado, that error is provoked due to not define that device?

Thank you in advance.

Best Regards

Penalty points for blogs posted past the due date?

ciorga — Wed, 06 Sep 2023 18:09:34 GMT

I was just curious if there are penalty points for final projects posted past the due date in the Path to Programmable 3, or they compete in the challenge at the same rank as the projects submitted in time?

rscasny — Mon, 28 Aug 2023 15:57:01 GMT

I've had a number of people contacting me to request an extension for submitting the final project blog. I realize it is a lot of work, so I think we can handle an extension.

The new deadline for submitting your final project is September 5, 2023.

Ultra96 V2 Restart on Running AI/ML Application

prashanthgn.engineer — Sat, 19 Aug 2023 13:08:22 GMT

Dear All

Upon Running the Machine Learning object Detect application, the the Ultra96 abruptly restarted.

After browsing through the internet, observed that " PMIC Firmware requires an update" posted on 2021

Since its 2023 now, Does this Problem still exist ?

Do we need to update the PMIC Firmware in recently received boards.

Regards

Reminder The Deadline for the Final Project for Path to Programmable 3 is August 29th

rscasny — Wed, 09 Aug 2023 18:27:20 GMT

Just a quick reminder.

The deadline for your final project is August 29th.

In a previous discussion, I described what should be included in the Final Project. Go here to read it.

The final project is worth up to 300 points. So, if you really 'hit it out of the ball park' you could be in the running for the top prizes even if you missed writing some of the blogs.

The final projects are sent to our judges. They judge the projects for creativity and technical merit. I read the projects but I do not judge the projects.

I look forward to reading your projects. These projects will be given to the sponsor's team for review.

If you have any other questions, feel free to leave a comment. I am monitoring this discussion.

Sincerely

Randall

A Few Words About Your Final Project

rscasny — Mon, 31 Jul 2023 20:05:17 GMT

Greetings to All participants in Path to Programmable 3.

You've come to the point in the Path to Programmable 3 program where you should be planning and building your final project.

The final project is worth up to 300 points and will be given to our judges. They will judge your final project in terms of creativity and technical merit.

Of course, the goal is to produce a project based on what you have been learning throughout the program.

You have until August 29th to post your project to element14.

As per our Terms and Conditions, you have to post your project on element14 to be eligible for the prizes. Only those participants who have posted their projects to element14 will be forwarded to the judges.

If you haven't thought about your final project, ywe have a guide posted on the About Page, which I have listed below:

The Vision Path
Embedded/Machine Vision
Face Recognition
Accelerated AI Video
Image/Video Streaming

The Core Technology Path
AI/Machine Learning
Connectivity
DSP
Ethernet

The Market Path
Health
Home
Gaming
Industrial

The Environmental Path
Dirt & Plants
Streets & Highways
Pets & Critters
Water & Oceans

The above list was meant to help you plan your project. You are not required to specifically build your project on the above themes only. Just so the project includes the board you received the training on, it qualifies.

You are competing against other participants for the prizes. So, it is competitive. I advise that the final project should be detailed and comprehensive. It can link to your blogs; I suggest placing the blogs in a reference at the very end.

The judges will be only give your single final project blog. So, it should be easy to follow within the blog. In other words, it should be a sound piece of technical writing.

If you have any other questions, feel free to leave a comment.

A Good Reason to Read the element14 Community's Terms and Conditions

rscasny — Sat, 29 Jul 2023 14:23:17 GMT

All my programs include Terms & Conditions. It's a good idea to read them. I realize they are sort of boring, but they provide important information.

During this past week, one of the Path to Programmable 3 participants decided to return the kit. He was reluctant to post his program blogs on the element14 Community. He wanted to post them on github and I guess link them to the element14 Community.

Apparently, he did not read our terms and conditions or my notification letter regarding his selection as a finalist for the program.

We require that you must post all the deliverables (training blogs and final projects) to the element14 Community in the Path to Programmable 3 group.

Now, you are welcome to link your element14 Community blogs and projects to other websites. In fact, that would be great and much appreciated. But the original ones need to be published on the element14 Community.

The element14 Community has several functions. Being a content publisher is one of its more basic functions. We promote your content through social media, newsletters, and other kind of marketing campaigns. In fact, at times our content gets published in our industry's trade magazines. The sponsor also promotes our programs. Hence, your content must be published on the element14 Community.

While having quite a few email exchanges with this individual, I got the sense he was working on something proprietary (I guess you could call it) and he was concerned about "fidelity," which I guess means someone using his ideas, though I'm not quite sure. Well, all content published on the element14 Community is open to the public. If something is so private, then perhaps you should blog about something else.

In any event, I encourage you to read the terms and conditions.

So, he is returning the kit to us. This is unfortunate because it could have gone to someone who was willing to abide by the rules we set forth in our T&Cs.

Connect to webserver error

luciaom_02 — Fri, 21 Jul 2023 17:21:00 GMT

Hello, I’m using a ultra96-V2 board and I’m trying to set up the wifi connection, following the guide and I’m running into some problems.
I’m reading chapter 8, “Connect to Webserver”, but I can’t set up the network called Ultra96-V2_<MAC_ADDRESS>. When I run ./wifi.sh, I get an error with the configuration of the LAN:

root@ultra96v2-2020-1:~# ./wifi.sh
Stopping Connection Manager
ifdown: interface wlan0 not configured
Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant
[ 85.017404] power up request for already powered up source Wifi

nl80211: Could not set interface 'wlan0' UP
nl80211: deinit ifname=wlan0 disabled_11b_rates=0
wlan0: Failed to initialize driver interface

When I run this file step by step, I get an error when I run ifdown and I get the following output:

ifdown: interface wlan0 not configured

I have tried using ip link set wlan0 down instead and that seems to work and doesn’t report any error.

Then if I keep running the wifi.sh script, one command at a time, it raises an error when reaching ifup.
When I run either ifup wlan0 or ip link set wlan0 up, I get the following error:

[ 883.500230] power up request for already powered up source Wifi
[ 883.506161] Device already up. Request source is Wifi

[ 883.517421] wilc_sdio mmc1:0001:1: wilc_sdio_disable_interrupt
RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument

Perhaps, is the ploblem in the wifi/bluethoot module? Is there any step that I‘m skipping? Could there be a file incompatibility problem?

Has anyone had the same problem?

what is the com port for USB to JTAG/UART Pod

manojroy123 — Mon, 17 Jul 2023 14:00:09 GMT

The Ultra96 USB

JTAG/UART Pod ships with pre

programmed firmware that allo

ws the

JTAG interface to be recognized by Xilinx Vivado software. Additionally, most host machines will

also automatically install the driver for the Serial Terminal interface.

Plug a microUSB cable between the Pod’s microUSB Port (J1) and a host computer.

If the serial terminal drivers do not automatically install, you can manually install the

driver for the FT2232H device. Visit

www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm

then download

and install the appropria

te driver for your operating system.

Launch

your

Serial Terminal with settings of 115200-8-N-1.

The above thing is mention in the document. I want to access the comp port of USB to JTAG/UART pod of ultra96 using serial terminal. I would like to know what is the process for it.

Path to Programmable 3 - What's Your Winning Strategy?

rscasny — Tue, 11 Jul 2023 19:11:31 GMT

To All Participants,

We are offering 4 "big" prizes for the highest point earners this the Path to Programmable 3 Program.

What do you have to do to win? What is your strategy for winning?

Well, we set up this program such that you can earn points in two ways:

Write up to 5 blogs for credit during the training period. Each blog is worth 40 points (200 possible points if you write 5 training blogs).
Write a final project blog during the project building period. Each project is worth up to 300 points.

If you get credit for 5 blogs, you would have accrued up to 200 points. Writing blogs perhaps is a way to take a little pressure off yourself when doing your final project blog.

On the other hand, if you feel you will build a total winning project and earn a perfect score, then maybe you might not write all the training blogs.

Of course, it is your choice.

Due-Dates Reminder

Training Ends 26th July 2023
Training Blogs for Credit Due 27th July 2023
Build Period 28th July - 28th August 2023
Final Project Blog Due 29h August 2023
Winners Announced September 2023

Good Luck to All!

Randall
