A ZedBoard bare metal tutorial using current Vitis tools?

unrocket

All of the ZedBoard tutorials I find use very old tools.
(Specificalkly Zynq 7000 based stuff, and even more specifically MicroZed.)


Are there any getting started guides that cover ,
Zero to running code using the contemporary Vitis based tools?

  • Hi there,

     

    ZedBoard was created by Digilent in a collaboration with Avnet.  We have partnered many times.

    We do provide some support, especially around anything that we have created and still do have support for.  The forums exist for that purpose as well as providing all the files in the download section.  We are not stopping support around that.  The level you are asking for, generating something brand new for such an old product is just not in the cards.  I am not sure how far, but Digilent is still actively supporting this along with many community members.  To this day, I still see new projects created by students and other community members using the ZedBoard.  It was a very popular board and still is very germane to many individuals.

     

    It is not EOL.  We are still are willing to manufacture them as long as the volumes stay high enough, and do so mostly for the Academic arena.  We encourage users to stay with newer products if their intention is to work with the latest technology.  This is also generally most relevant to industry.  Products such as MiniZed are much more cost effective for learning the tools.  One might also opt for an Ultra96V2, which provides a very powerful system capable of running quite a few AI engines in a very cost competitive model.  Just to try to put this into perspective, the Zynq 7000 is almost 10 years old now.

    Part of this problem is that Xilinx keeps reving the tools in incompatible ways....


    There is no version of tools listed on the Xilinx download page that can run the tutorials.

    Some how running "hello world" on tools that are actually available does not seem like an extreme level of support.


    Was hoping to do this with something other than 5 yr old tools from the attic....
