Initial Startup

electrodev99 over 8 years ago

Hello all,

I purchased a MIni-ITX recently, and I guess it was just the FPGA board alone not realzing I needed a power supply and everything else. So I rigged up an ATX Power Cable that has 12V, 5V, and 3.3V coming off of it. This is actually better because I can use my own power supply that I can monitor the power usage on.

Anyway, it didn't come with a SD Card, and it also seems that the SPI Flash was empty too -- so I have been trying to get everything up and running. I attempted to program the QSPI flash with one of the reference designs packages that are included on this website.

I can program the QSPI flash with reference designs and they are verified to be flashing correctly. I also put the Wind River linux on the SD card so that should be correct as well.

Problems:

I am able to program the system over JTAG, but I have to use Vivado 2016.3 so a lot of the material and reference designs are made for older versions. I cannot seem to get Linux or anything to boot up on the system. I also can't seem to have the USB JTAG + USB UART cables connected at the same time. My PC only detects one of them being connected at a time. What could possibly be happening here?

    At the risk of stating the obvious, the boot mode switch must be set correctly when booting from the SD card.

    Haha yes, I do have the Off Off On On Off mode set. When I'm flashing the QSPI, should I change this mode as well, or is it okay?

    Thanks!

    When programming the QSPI flash, the boot mode switch must be set to the "JTAG Mode". Once the QSPI is programmed, the boot mode switch can be set to "QSPI Mode" to boot from the Flash device.

    Regarding the USB connections, I have not personally seen this behavior and it seems to be PC related. Is there any chance you can try a different PC?
