pmods in minized board files

Question

Hello all,

I am trying to add Pmods to my board diagram.

I wonder why they don't show up in the "Board" tab.

I do see the 2 leds (pl_led_r and pl_led_g)

as well as (pl_sw_1bit)

But the pmod ports don't show up. (Although they maybe should based on the digilent tutorial I follow for an other board)

Also I run the tcl for the speedway but after it's done (successfully) when I go to project settings the project device is not a board but rather just the chip. Is that intended?

Thank you in advance and sorry to ask those naive questions.

Hi Shady,

Digilent has their pmods listed in the boards tab due to in the board definition file they use. I'm not sure exactly how, but i believe some flag is set off in that file to indicate the Pmod interfaces. Or it could be information taken from the vivado-library they have you install.

A master constraint file is available for the MiniZed located here http://zedboard.org/support/documentation/18891 It has the Pmod constraints your looking for.

The warnings are most likely vivado complaining about some timing issue. Due to the low speeds running on the MiniZed these can be ignored.
