MiniZed - Vitis/Vivado 2020.1

bigguiness

Hello all,

 

Is there any updated tutorials on how to get started with the MiniZed using the latest tools from Xilinx?

 

All I have found is old information and it's a real pain trying to figure out how this all works...

 

Thanks

    Hello All

      Not been on this forum -- I've been struggling with the MiniZED and getting PetaLinux working ---minized-petalinux-course from HacksterIO-  

     

      The videos are a nice touch, put the quality of the labs are NOT good.  (sorry)  --- way too many broken links, incomplete directions, incompatabilities, miss-matching scripts -   -

     

      I have been using the MicroZED PL and PS successfully -- I have built logic and did C++ code for the ZYNQ using Vivado 2020.1 on WIndows 10  - the orginal MiniZed tutorial from Hackster, for this was pretty good.    Lots of success here.   Passing messages through BRAM without issue, both ways.

     

    Looking for advice,  what is a clean way to get into the Petalinux, that the tutorial is straight-forward, hopefully using the WINDOWS envorirment,  I do have Vivado and VITIS 2020.2 up on Linux 18.04 on VBOX --- so I can do it there, as well ---  

     

    Thanks in advance

    Hello Greg,

     

    I am sorry to hear about your trouble with the 2019.1 labs. If you can provide some specifics as to what isn't working, we can correct the documentation. Also, note that the MiniZed trainings are also available on Element14 here:

    Technical Training Courses

     

    Windows is not a supported development environment for PetaLinux. You can find the specific list in PetaLinux User Guide for the release you are using. For example, here is the list for PetaLinux 2019.1: https://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/sw_manuals/xilinx2019_1/ug1144-petalinux-tools-reference-guide.pdf.

     

    Supported OS:

    - Red Hat Enterprise Workstation/Server 7.4, 7.5, 7.6 (64-bit)

    - CentOS 7.4, 7.5, 7.6 (64-bit)

    - Ubuntu Linux 16.04.5, 18.04.1 (64-bit)

     

    I still think that the Avnet-provided PetaLinux training is the best place to start. Please make sure you are using the version for which the training was written (2019.1 for MiniZed, 2018.3 for Ultra96) and that you are using a supported OS, preferably the one referenced in the training (Ubuntu 18.04.1). If there are broken links or typos, please share here, and we will work to get those fixed.
