Zedboard Newbie

go_er00

Dear Sir:

     I am new to the Zedboard system.  I just purchased a Zynq-7000 EPP 7Z020 Zedboard kit, downloaded the ZynqSW_Online_v03 and began to do the labs.

     When I got to lab 5 and I began to do the memory test, I discovered that my program "hangs" when I get to the 8 bit test.

     This is what I see:
 
--Starting Memory Test Application--
NOTE: This application runs with D-Cache disabled.As a result, cacheline requests will not be generated
Testing memory region: ps7_ddr_0
    Memory Controller: ps7_ddr
         Base Address: 0x00100000
                 Size: 0x1ff00000 bytes
          32-bit test: PASSED!
          16-bit test: PASSED!
           8-bit test:

      Lab 4, Experiment 3, steps 5 and 6, mention the 8 bit test but do not go into detail about any changes which need to be made in the program setup. 

      Can someone please provide me with a remedy for this issue?

    Dear Gary:

         I did a complete search of the accompanying supporting documents zipped with the zedboard training download.  I did not find literature telling me how to utilize the solution files for the labs.

          I realized after attempting to import the *.LAUNCH files into my project that I require a formal explanation of how one properly utilizes a *.LAUNCH file within the SDK IDE.

        There is no readme file contained within the solutions folder that tells the programmer how to use these files.

        Can you please point me to link that will tell me how to correctly utilize the lab solution *.LAUNCH configuration files or can you offer the readers a step by step explanation of how to utilize the *.LAUNCH file configurations?    

           Thank you for your past reply and I look forward to reading your next reply.

    The solution files are just resulting files from a successful completion of a lab so that you can start a lab without having completed the prior lab, or as in your case, to test your hardware and development setup with known good project files.

     

    It this case I would suggest that you unzip the Lab 5 solutions (write over the results you generated in the SDK workspace) in the C;/Speedway/ZynqSW/2013_3/SDK_Workspace directory. You will need to extract at least the 'Test-Memory' and "Test_memory_FullDDR: folders. You may want to extract the others as well. With this known good implementation of the labs you can run the test that you are currently failing. If they pass that indicates an error in your implementation. If they fail in the same manner that indicates an issue with your hardware or setup.

     

    When you used the 'Debug As' option in the SDK and set up a 'Debug Configuration' ( or used 'Run As' and setup a 'Run Configuration') you selected certain options and may have made changes or added init files. Importing the * Launch files will restore these configurations, as that is not done by importing the project. Once you have imported the projects and any other configurations you saved you may run and debug programs as shown in the labs.
