initial booting

sungyung_lim
sungyung_lim over 9 years ago

We purchased a MMP with zynq 7z100.
Since we followed the simple instruction,
we found that the initial serial connection didn't work.
We used sd card-based booting with factory-installed linux image. Is there any known defect on instruction or linux image? And is there any useful information on it?

Thank you for your consideration in advance.

    Hello,

     

    Could you give a little more information.

     

    Are you using the MMP 'stand alone' or with a baseboard?

     

    Can you check and make sure that SW5[0:4] is set correctly for booting from the micro SD Card: SW5 = x011x.

     

    What is your host PC OS? Have you successfully installed the Silicon Labs CP210x USB UART drivers on your host PC? Does the Silicon labs device appear as a Comm port on your host PC (in device manager for Windows) when the MMP board is powered and a USB cable is connected from J4 to your host PC USB port?

    Hi Gary

    Thank you for reply. We have successfully used microzed 7z020 with IO carrier card, which rules out possible causes by CP210x and host PC.

    The zynq 7z100 is currently mounted on mini-module plus baseboard II. I did follow the setup instruction but will double-check the SW5 configuration again in the lab.

    Thanks - S.Y.

    Hi Gary

    Yes, it appears as comm6. The switch is validated to be set to 00110.
    We also have 7z045. It looks working with MMP board when testing after swapping zynq chips. The "getting started guide" shipped with 7z100 is actually the version for 7z045. I'm wondering whether this works for 7z100.

    Thanks - S.Y.
