baremetal programming on picozed 7015/7030 (v1)

openhacker

I'm following the tutorial in

Tutorial 2 -- First application - Hello world for Vivado 2016.4 (I got vivado 2016.4 so I can follow the tutorial verbatim)

 

It says:

8. Click Browse and select the System_wrapper.hdf file generated during the

Export process from Vivado. This will be included in the archive provided by the

hardware engineer. Or, if you are continuing from the first tutorial, you will find

it in a similar location as here:

C:\Avnet\MicroZed\Projects\MZ_Basic_System\MZ_Basic_System.sdk\

 

I didn't see (or know where to get) the "System_wrapper.hdf file.

 

So I got 2016.04 vivado.

I followed:

Tutorial 01 Build the Zynq Hardware Platform

for 2016.4

(since that's the newest one -- when I get something working, I'll move on to something newer)

 

On page 3, it lists a whole range of picozed boards from em.avnet.com.   I figured the process would be straightforward.

 

But attached is what I see (no picozed).

 

FWIW, I've been doing embedded work for 30 years ;-)   This is new for me (I have a client who wants me to do software work,

not hardware work).

 

I'm interested in getting my jtag adapter working -- but it seems I need a good "board description" to do anything.

  • I'm new to FPGAs and got a Digilent Cmod Spartan7, so I'm not sure how much of this applies to the Zenq. For my FPGA at least I had to download a file from Digilent to add the board support. Still that support apparently is only required to get some visual programming blocks, basically pin dependent stuff. As a matter of fact I've completely ignored the board selection (I'm just doing HDL at this point) and just selected the FPGA chip, and thats all I need to get it to work. Vivado requires to know what chip you are using because otherwise I doesn't know how to do logic synthesis, as it depends on the specific FPGA.
