Utilizing git, bash, and TCL (Tool Control Language) in a Linux Environment and the Avnet Ultra96-V2 Single Board Computer

 

Join Tom Curran, an engineer with Avnet, for a free course on PetaLinux and how to get setup using Linux on an Ultra96-V2 board.  PetaLinux provides a complete, reference Linux distribution that has been integrated and tested for Xilinx devices. All PetaLinux Board Support Packages (BSP) include pre-configured boot loaders, system images and bitstream.

 

Avnet maintains dozens of git repositories, and many of them are devoted to Xilinx and Linux development.  Using existing TCL (Vivado) and bash (Linux) scripts, this course will examine how a beginner can experiment with using these repositories for building a known-good hardware platform and Linux OS image using the Xilinx Vivado and PetaLinux tools targeting the Avnet Ultra96-V2 board.

 

What You Will Learn In This Webinar:

 

  • Understand what PetaLinux is and how to use it
  • Learn how to set up Ultra96-V2 to boot and use Linux
  • Explore the best avenues to get started with git, PetaLinux,  and Ultra96-V2

I got sucked into the world of FPGAs and programmable logic early in my career working for a company that developed embedded controls for bottle labeling machines, and I’ve never looked back.  I now work in Avnet's Products & Emerging Technologies group, mostly working on Linux and software applications for our Zed and UltraZed family of Zynq and Zynq MPSoC SOMs and SBCs like the Ultra96-V2.
