Unable to run hello world on Microzed

Former Member

I'm following the tutorial 2 for MicroZed- Hello World Application section. I have set the jumper settings correctly, .elf file is also generated. But when I try to run it, I get this error:

Unexpected error while launching program: Error while running ps7_init method.No Elf file associated with target

 

 

I'm using Vivado 16.4 version.

I'm not able to figure out what is the problem. Please help!

    Hello Kin,

    First off, I would always suggest using the same Vivado version as the tutorial suggests. In this case the newest Tutorial 02 posted utilizes Vivado 2016.2. The reason I would typically suggest this is that Vivado changes from time to time and can cause the old tutorial to not work in newer tools. However, in your case I have actually completed the tutorial in Vivado 2016.4 sucesffully using the 2016.2 material. (This is more for future reference)

    Now to debug your issue. Did you program the btistream into your MicroZed before you tried to run the hello world application?(Blue FPGA LED Done LED turns on)

    Also which MicroZed do you have the 7010 or 7020?

    Hi Josh,

    Yes I did program the bit stream using the program FPGA option in SDK and the Blue LED Done LED did turn on.  I have MicroZed 7010. 

    I installed Vivado 2015.4 and was able to get the Hello World application up. I was thinking that it is a Vivado 16.4 issue but since you got it up and running, I don't know what is the problem in my case.

    I'm using a Windows 10 laptop. Are you also running it on a Windows 10 OS?

    Hello Kin,

    This is my solution to the MicroZed 7010 using Vivado 2016.4. Extract the Zip file to C:\Avnet\MicroZed. Use SDK to open the workspace at C:\Avnet\MicroZed\Applications\MZ_Basic_System. Program the bitstream and run the application. Let me know if it works for you. 

    Here is the link to download it : https://avnet.egnyte.com/dl/qjag3QtRRi

    Is it does work, compare it to your own setup to determine what the issue is.

    I'm not able to build the workspace when I extract as you said. Your Zipfile name is MZ_7010_Solution_04. So I created a folder in C:\Avnet\MicroZed where I extracted the contents of the zip file. But when I launch sdk and give the workspace as C:\Avnet\MicroZed\Applications\MZ_Basic_System, the sdk takes a long time to build and at the end of it, all the folders have a red cross mark on them. Also in the beginning when I open sdk and give this workspace I get this message: The original source from which the hardware specification for project 'hw_platform_0' is now diffewrent from the specification in the project..... and many more lines... In the end it asks if I want to continue. I said yes.

    I also tried to regenerate Hello World using the Vivado Project in you zip file but I get the same result as I do for my project. It says implementation is out of date. I did not regenerate the bit stream while trying.

    Hi Kini3105,

    I am going to suggest that you revert back to Vivado 2016.2 and run through the tutorial using that Version.

    A detailed 2016.4 release will be available for download in about a months time if want any further support with this tutorial in 2016.4.

    My only other suggestion if you are dead set on using 2016.4 is for you to compare your hardware/sdk to the one I have made available to you.
