Vivado 2014.1 and MicroZed board awareness files.

Former Member

I just installed new Vivado 2014.1 and found that board awareness files for MicroZed 7020 and 7010 doesn't work anymore.

Could anybody confirm a problem please. And I'm obviously looking for solution.

    Hi David,

     

    The MicroZed Vivado 2015.1 board definition files posted with a date of 26.Jun.15 do have an attached pdf with installation instructions.

    http://zedboard.org/support/documentation/1519

     

    It looks like Vivado 2015.1 only supports the "install in Vivado installation" method, where you would just unzip the board definition archive into the Vivado ../boardparts/zynq directory: installdir\Vivado\2015.1\data\boards\board_parts\zynq

    Hi,

    I have installed Vivado 2015.2. I also installed the Microzed board definition files from http://zedboard.org/support/documentation/1519 (by unzipping the files).

    When I open my project (previously saved by Vivado 2014.4) I get the error:
    [Board 49-67] The board_part definition was not found for em.avnet.com:microzed:part0:1.1. Valid board_part values can be retrieved with the 'get_board_parts' Tcl command.

    When giving the get_board_parts command, em.avnet.com:microzed_7010:part0:1.0 is listed, but not em.avnet.com:microzed:part0:1.1 (different version) that is in the error.

    When I give get_board_parts command in Vivado 2014.4 both are listed: em.avnet.com:microzed:part0:1.0 em.avnet.com:microzed:part0:1.1 ...

    What's wrong?

    Hello John,

     

    In Vivado 2014.4 Xilinx included MicroZed (7010 only) as one of the 'standard' board definitions. Within the board files there was both a revision 1.0 and a revision 1.1 (hence the part0:1:0 and part0:1:1). Xilinx did not include any MicroZed board definition files as standard in Vivado 2015.2.

     

    The Avnet board definition files for the MicroZed 7010, for both 2014.4 and 2015.x, only have a revision 1.0 version. So it looks like you used the 'standard' Xilinx supplied MicroZed file (revision 1.1) in your Vivado 2014.4 design and now it can't find a revision 1.1 in Vivado 2015.2.

     

    Try going into 'Tools' on the Vivaod tool bar, open "Project Settings" and change the Project device to the MicroZed 7010 board.
