Possible to develop application  on Zedboard and deploy on PicoZed ?

Former Member

I have to develop an C++ application which shall run on the PicoZed 7015 SOM.

For development, I would prefer to compile the application  on the Zedboard devlopment board.
As is noted in http://microzed.org/content/xillinux-run-ubuntu-linux-desktop-zedboard  , it seems to be possible to use the Zedboard directly as a computer (with keyboard, monitor and mouse) with a ubuntu-like desktop. So i should be able to use the usual tools (cmake, gcc, ..) to compile my C++ application and all libraries (like OpenCV).


My question is now - can I run the binaries, which I have compiled on the Zedboard, directly on the PicoZed?

    Sorry, in my original comment I somehow missed the part about you wanting to build on the target.   Yes, you can develop on the target, no requirement for PetaLinux.  In fact, I would actually recommend you give the Pulsar Linux a look, as it not only allows this type of development, but it also has facilities to make it easier to upgrade your target platform (using the smart package manager) to get the environment you want on your final build.   If you were also to use a Cloud based toolchain for creating application sources, you could develop directly on the PicoZed and still have a nice SDK-type environment.  The Wind River Helix Application Cloud is worth checking out.  However, you can definitely go your own way if you prefer.  If you want to try Pulsar on the Zedboard, I'm told the MicroZed BSP will work, although I have not actually tried that myself.  You can find links to Pulsar images on this website.

    If you do not load a bitstream, you can definitely simply use the hard-core Processor System just as you would any other standalone processor.  The address map Bryan refers to is the location of memory-mapped peripherals, which can be critical when you are using a custom bitstream.  However, the Zynq PS memory map is static, so no problem there.
