Zed Board

100aditya

Dear Sir/Madam,

                             In mine project i want to send data from ubuntu PC to ZedBoard using Wifi. I got one link http://zedboard.org/product/wilink-8-adaptor which talks about some kind of Wifi adpater for Micro-zed.

         Will this link and its given documents be seamlessly used with ZedBoard.

Regards

Aditya

    Hi Aditya,

    If you refer to the product brief you will see that it is Zedboard compatable. As far as the documentation goes, for the most part it targets the MicroZed. So you will not be able to "seamlessly" use those designs with the Zedboard, some modifications will have to be made.

    Hi Aditya,

    For a good introduction into the Zynq development environment I would suggest you go through the ZynqHW and ZynqSW Speedways.

    As for using the Zedboard with WILINK8 I'd suggest using PMOD's JE and JD

    Here’s the pinout for the JE and JD connectors, here is the Pinout.

    Hi Josh,

                  I am going through the tutorials that you suggested and it seems that it is really good and helpful. I am little relaxed now. But one thing that i am afraid and i want to ask here is that.......as i am very novice to Xilinx development environment....so after doing this tutorials for the above given two links, will i be able to start mine Zed Board Project or will i need some other exposure also apart from this tutorials that you have mentioned.???....Please comment on this.

     

    Thanks 

    Aditya

    Hi Josh,

                      I was going through LAB 2 session of Softwrae flow link and i got some errors. Would you please help me out?? Here i am attached two snapshots which you can find out in the link :-http://zedboard.org/imce?app=ckeditor%7Csendto%40ckeditor_imceSendTo%7C&CKEditor=edit-comment-body-und-0-value&CKEditorFuncNum=2&langCode=en-gb.

    1. mine_project_snap_shot

    2.Tutorial_snap_shot

    So as per lab 2 once i imported the .xml file in SDK it show the window screen as per  "Tutorial_snap_shot" mentioned above. But I am not getting this.What i am getting is as per  mine_project_snap_shot. The two differences are :

    1- It is not able to open .xml file and showing the error that you can look into mine_project_snap_shot

    2. Z_system_wrapper.bit is not getting included in the Project window

    please tell me what is error behind this.

     

    Regards

    Aditya

    Hi Aditya,

    I can't seem to be able to find the snap shots you are refering too. As a starter, which Vivado version are you using? Also which Tutorial version are you using, the 2014.4.1 or 2013.3 version?

    Hi Josh,

                  I have downloaded two thing from the link:-- http://zedboard.com/course/developing-zynq%C2%AE-7000-all-programmable-soc-software-vivado-20133-and-201441?sid=91896 

    1-  Download the labs (Vivado 2013.3)

     2- Download the labs (Vivado 2014.4.1)

    Actually i have left mine lab right now. So details i will be giving you tomorrow. As i have mentioned that right now i am going through the speedway s/w tutorial. So i have downloaded one prebuit h/w from that link mentioned above and started following the instruction given in LAB 2 tutorial. If you can open the link then you can also find the Lab2 tutorial. The problem i told you already....In SDK, in project explorer winow   system.xml file is not getting opened and some error is coming and also z_system_wrapper.bit is not getting loaded.

      On mine Desktop ISE 14.2 is installed so i am using the SDK that has been installed with ISE 14.2...............If it is the version issue then should i install Vivado?? But why this should be issue as SDK is just eclipse driven s/w development environment???

    Regards

    Aditya

    Hi Aditya,

    Just for your clarification, the two labs you downloaded are the same labs just ran on different Vivado versions. I would suggest going through the 2014.4.1 version since it is utilizing a more updated version of the tool.

    For this lab you will need to update to the proper Vivado version that matches the lab you are doing. The reason why I stress the need to use the correct Vivado version for the lab is because the hardware export from Vivado to SDK has changed several times over the tool versions.

    You can find it at this link :  https://www.xilinx.com/support/download.html Please make sure during your Vivado installation you check the box that installs SDK as well. 

    As for any future projects, I would highly recommend utilizing Vivado design suite over Xilinx ISE design suite for any zynq based projects. You will find much more support doing so.
