Terminal read from zedboard

deaxman

When using xillinux, I have been using hexdump -C -n 16 /dev/xillybus_mem_8 to read data that is stored to the memory in the zedboard and thus communicate values to the terminal.  This only gives me 2 hex positions at a time though and just repeats those two even though I specified 16 slots.  Is there any way to fix this and get more digits of hex?  Thanks!

    I've looked at the IP core stuff and they seem like a much better alternative to just modifying xillydemo like I am now.  However, I'm confused if I can have them be the only component included in the bit file and still have my PS start up and be able to access xillinux.  xillydemo seems to have many extra things that allow the PS to run with xillinux.  Can I just create an IP core in the manner you specified and attact my signals or instantiate the IP core in my vhdl or verilog file and customize it for the computations I want to perform then just generate a BIT file?  This seems too easy, is there any documentation I can look at like a tutorial that goes through this process or better explains what needs to be in the BIT file for the PS to boot with xillinux?  Thanks!
