Partial Reconfiguration for the Zedboard

Former Member

Hi Forum,

I was wondering if anyone has managed to complete a partial reconfiguration (PR) project with the zedboard, specifically having the PL completely reprogrammed with the PS and a stand-alone OS.

So far I have managed to generate full and partial bitfiles and program the board just using impact. I fall on my face, however, when I attempt to code something in the Stand alone OS through SDK. To test I convert the partial bitfiles into bin files and use the XMD to store it in the DDR. I then found some code regarding the Zynq on the Xilinx forums for programming the fabric with the stored bin file.

Has anyone successfully managed to do this?

Thanks

    Yeah, Sorry for not responding sooner. There are a few ways you can get the .bin onto the DDR.

    Open the XMD
    1. You can open the XPS/EDK, Debug > Launch XMD
    2. You can open up the XMD through the SDK, if you do this in debug mode it appears as a tab window in the upper right corner

    Program the Bin File
    dow -data myfile.bin 0x00200000

    Obviously you need to make the address within the address range of your DDR.

    You can have the bin file placed there with the device initialization as an alternative option

    1. Right click on your project, Run As > Run Configuration
    2. Click on the Device Initialization tab
    3. Add the .bin file and the address and it will do it automatically

    Sorry again for the late reply, send me a direct pm if you are having trouble
