Problems with PicoZed Z7015 starting system

Former Member
Former Member over 8 years ago

Hi,

today I just received a brandnew PicoZed Z7015 Board and I just wanted to try to start it with the Quick Start Guide provided in the PicoZed documentaries, but I got some problems with the board.

I followed exactly the instructions given in the Quick Start Guide.
When I started the board, the blue LED (fpga done) didn't lit. (Do I have to load the fpga for the Quick Start Guide myself? I don't know how to do yet, since I'm quite a beginner in working with boards)

I was able to communicate with the Zynq via USB-UART, but when I tried to u-boot from the QSPI, I got an error message, that the command sf cannot be found:

-Boot 2014.01-dirty (Sep 29 2014 - 09:07:05)

I2C:   ready
Memory: ECC disabled
DRAM:  1 GiB

Net:   Gem.e000b000
Hit any key to stop autoboot:  0
Copying Linux from QSPI flash to RAM...
Unknown command 'sf' - try 'help'
zynq-uboot>


Edit 08.06.2015: 16:30

Now I tried to reload the QSPI flash with the factory image provided in the support section on the homepage the way it is described in the "Restoring PicoZed QSPI to the Factory Image" v1.0 Guide. The booting works, the fpga done LED is on and I get the expected linux OS, but when I afterwards try to boot from the flash I get the same error as before and the blue LED doesn't glow. Instead the two red LEDs D17 and D18 are on.

This is the relevant output on the terminal during the erasing, reloading and factory tests:

Ethernet and USB surely fail, since I'm not using those so far. The loopback is allowed to fail (according to the guide), but I am really wondering why my erasing and reloading process output differs from the one which is referenced in the guide (see Figure 2). E.G. in my case it installs only the FSBL and U-Boot Bootloaders before it starts the tests, in the guide there is also the Linux-Kernel, the Kernel Device Tree, the RAM Disk Image and the PL Binary Bitstream getting installed.

I appreciate any ideas or hints.

Regards,
Daniel

    forgot to mention that I also use the FMC Carrier Card for the PicoZed Board.

    There is an issue with the current 'Out of Box' (OOB) QSPI image for the PicoZed 7015/7030 plus PicoZed FMC Carrier Card. The image is too big for the QSPI. We are working on a fix. I will let you know as soon as the files are ready.

     

    Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

    Daniel,

    Sorry for the trouble. I have posted a new archive that will re-program your 7015 with a fully operational Linux. The Getting Started Guide will need some slight modifications based on this new build, but that's going to take me another couple days.

     

    This also contains archives for the 7010, 7020, and 7030.

    Restore/Upgrade QSPI Factory Image

    Use this document and archive along with your PicoZed and PicoZed FMC Carrier Card to restore or upgrade the factory test image to the QSPI and eMMC on the PicoZed.

    The new system is working fine, thank you.
