PicoZed Bank13 IO

ivarhl
ivarhl over 6 years ago

Hello.

I have just designed a carrier board for a PicoZed 7015/7030. I have verified all power and boot up, and it works, now I want to use the FPGA and the IOs.

 

I have been able to access the IOs of bank 34/35, and this works fine. I have also been able to use the MIO pins. But I have an issue when it comes to the IO pins of Bank 13. I have not been able to use those yet. I have tried connecting them diretly to PL like I did with bank 34/35, e.g. by setting a counter in PL and connecting IO's directly to the output of the counter. I have also tried accessing this from PS via EMIO. But I cannot seem to get these pins to change...

 

Is there any setting in Vivado that needs to be set? When I tried EMIO i enable EMIO and used a constraint file to set the pins. When I tried directly form PL I used the same method that worked for bank 34/35, and this is to set the IOs via contraint file. I have only tried these as outputs yet.

 

Any tips?

    Joshua, I will see if can get a hold of one Avnet carrier board. Unfortunately I cannot share schematics, since this is work related, such information is not allowed to share...

    I found the error, it was a HW error, probbably a loose connection (bad soldering etc) in the board to board connector. Problem solved.

    The only difference I see is the 34/35 are power from carrier card and have voltage you set. On the other hand 13 is powered by zed-board and are fixed.

    Bank 13 is powered from the carrier, JX2 pin 98 and JX3 pin 45 and 46. I also see no other difference. Could there be some settings in Vivado I have missed or set incorrectly?

    HI Ivar,

     

    Try making the same design on one of the Avnet Carrier Cards to verify your process in accessing that bank.

    ALso are you interested in sharing your schematics?

    Hi Ivar,

     

    I understand! You may want to reach out to one of your local Avnet FAEs for assitance as well.
