Using the SDK compiler simultaneously with the microSD linux image

Hi Folks,

I have successfully developed projects with the SDK compiler and loaded and ran them with the MicroZED board set to JTAG mode. Now, I need to compile code to run with the SD card linux image. I assume I can compile code and then take the SD card to my pc to copy it and then move the SD card back to the MicroZed to run it. But, that becomes cumbersome as the code iterates. Is there some way to have the compiler send the executable directly to the SD card so that I can run it and test it without removing the card?

Thanks and best regards,

MRL

Hi MRL,

Yes, you should be able to use SDK to connect to a MicroZed target running linux as long as you have an SSH and an SFTP daemon running on your MicroZed.

We have an older training entitled "Implementing Linux on the Zynqu00AE-7000 All Programmable SoC (ISE 14.2)" which demonstrates how to do this in an older version of SDK but the concepts are the same since this is a function of a remote debugging exercise using GDB and the Remote System Explorer (RSE) feature of SDK as seen in this thread here:

http://zedboard.org/content/sdk-remote-debugging-linux-app

RSE is also shown in action here on this Xilinx wiki page as well:

Regards,

Thank you Kevin. I'll give it a try. In the mean time, I have succeeded in compiling code for linux on the SDK. I moved it to the SD card manually but everything worked. Thanks again! mrl.
