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,

     

    We do not really support ZedBoard any longer.  You might have better luck asking over at Digilent's forums.  They still provide ZedBoard support.

    Aside from that, I can suggest that you read through the blog Series my colleague and I did on the Avnet build flow.  If you were to generate your own pieces following that flow, you should end up with something that works out pretty well for you regarding Vitis.

     

    Specific to the HDL / Petalinux side (I know you said baremetal, but this is for posterity), search for:

    "Avnet HDL git HOWTO" and "Using Avnet Build Scripts to Build a PetaLinux BSP"

    Specific to the Vitis portion, search for "Learning Vitis"

     

    Be mindful, since you specifically want baremetal, you will want to deviate a bit as the Vitis flow is for PetaLinux based platforms.  The flow is not that different, but you will want to ensure you chose baremetal, not a PetaLinux flow.

    Thanks you for the response.

     

    Since Zedboard is an avnet creation, one they still sell, and element 14 is listed as an avnet community, with a specific forum labeled ZedBoard...
    The fact that an avnet forum does not support an avnet product is pretty stunning...

    If you go to zedboard.org it still points people here...

    So is avnet formally EOL for  zedboards?

    When ZedBoard was released 8 years ago it was a co-designed and co-branded effort between Avnet and Digilent.  It is manufactured by Digilent and they continue to support it.  Avnet sells the ZedBoard, but no longer creates any support material (BSPs, tutorials, etc.) for it.  You will need to contact Digilent directly for contemporary Xilinx tools support for ZedBoard.
