Microzed development in EDK

Use the MicroZed Zynq Preset for ISE (XML) found here: http://www.zedboard.org/documentation/1519

Import the preset into your PS7 configuration in XPS:

Then select the XML file downloaded:

Excellent, thank you!

Sorry to bring this back to life, but I have encountered another problem. I have added some AXI bus pcores to the EDK project and connected to the processing_system7 device (the one I imported the xml file into). I could perform DRC and "Generate Netlist" with no errors.

I moved the remainder of the project into Xilinx ISE, using the auto-generated stub file and UCF files. This builds fine and gives me output files (*.bit, *.xml), but when I look into the "Module Level Utilization," it shows 0 resources being used for processing_system7...

Looking at the warning files, it appears as though every single IO associated with the processing_system7 is not being driven. Ex:

"ConstraintSystem - A target design object for the Locate constraint
   '<NET "MIO<0>" LOC = E6>' could not be found and so the Locate constraint
   will be removed."

I get the same type of message for every single MicroZed IO.

So there is something causing EDK or ISE to completely optimize the processing_system7 away...Any ideas what it could be?

I've seen similar things happen when the input oscillator signal was not routed to an ibufg component.

I used PlanAhead to build a processing sub-design and imported the MicroZed XML within XPS. Then I exited back to PlanAhead and there I right clicked on the processor sub module and did a 'Create Top HDL'. I did have to go back and change the device targeted by the top level PlanAhead project to match the MicroZed device imported in the XML (zc7z010clg400-1). Note that the package is different than the one on the 7020 device on the ZedBoard if that is where you started.

After that I built the design and exported to SDK successfully and was able to build and run a Hello World application.

Check and make sure the device and package are correct for the MicroZed device for both the processor sub-system and the top level design.

It turns out that I can safely ignore those hundreds of warnings because it appears to be working fine now. Strange that I got such severe sounding warnings...but oh well.

While clicking on the + symbol in the EDK, to add the xml file the EDK get closed.

Please help me with this.

This is a very old post, and EDK was replaced by SDK and now Vitis. Please start a new thread and provide more details on what version you are using.
