Dual Processor AMP (bare-metal on both)

Hello,

I followed the instructions of Lab9 from "Vivado Zynq SpeedWay Workshops" to create an AMP application with bare-metal code on both ARM cores.

I am stuck at one point. When I try to create the board support package for cpu1, I get an error message (::sw_standalone_amp_v3_11_a::generate : invalid command name "xget_libgen_proc_handle").

Since I am working with Vivado 2014.2 I have the feeling, that this could cause the problem.

Is it possible that the repository (sdk_repo), which must be inserted in this lab are not working for Vivado 2014.2? How can I create this repository manually?

thanks

Hi Andi,

I recently had the same problem. An update for Vivado 2014.2 is available here,

http://www.wiki.xilinx.com/XAPP1079+Latest+Information

Download "earlyaccess_xapp1079_2014.2.zip" and follow the included instructions then you should be up and running.

Have a great day!

Thank you /SF for your answer. This is very helpful.

In this early access design there are tcl scripts for vivado which generate the hardware design. One of these is for zedboard. Unfortunatelly, I am working with microzed-board.

I am just trying to adapt these scripts, to make them work with microzed. I will be giving some feedback, if this was working.

Now I got it running on the microzed. I copied the file create_proj_zedBoard.tcl (in design/src/scripts). In this file I changed the lines:

set_property "part" "xc7z020clg484-1" $obj
change to
set_property "part" "xc7z010clg400-1" $obj

and

set_property board em.avnet.com:zed:part0:1.0 $obj
change to
set proterty board em.avnet.com:microzed:part0:1.0 $obj

This seemed to do the trick. After that I followed the instruction from the included textfile. I don't know if this is a clean solution, but it works for now.

Did anybody ever test earlyaccess xapp1078 for microzed?

Have a nice weekend!
Andi

SF, thanks for the tip about the updated standalone bsp.

A tip for others encountering this issue in Vivado 2014.2 with the speedway lab is that rather than following the entire exercise in the app note you can just import the bsp as a repository (as shown in the lab) and then use the modified 4.1 standalone bsp it includes rather than the standalone_amp bsp from the tutorial. After that just follow the instructions included in the lab.

Hi! I was using your suggestion to change the board definition manually to recognize the microzed, but after a while I was getting an error saying:

ERROR: [Common 17-69] Command failed: Run 'impl_1' failed. Unable to open

while executing
"open_run impl_1"
(file "../src/scripts/create_proj_zedBoard.tcl" line 33)

is there any way to fix it?

thanks
