PS SPI Pmod JE7 Hardware system

Former Member
Former Member over 12 years ago

Hello everyone,

I'm in the process of interfacing my Avnet CC3000-Pmod Compatible Wi-Fi Adapter to the ZedBoard via the JE7 Pmod header, which is connected to the PS.

At first I thought this should be a simple thing, since creating a hardware system that includes SPI was so simple, but ...

When I try to use the SPI device (via the SpiPs device driver), I am stuck in the XSpiPs_PolledTransfer() function, waiting for the status register flag that indicates the transmission has finished (XSPIPS_IXR_TXOW_MASK). The reason that the flag never comes, is that I read nonsense values from the register (a 0x2 in this case).
Then I added the XSpiPs_SelfTest() function, which failed at the very first register read. So I'm guessing there is something wrong with my hardware design.

I got the Zynq IP setup & configured as follows:

  +--------------------------------+
  |         ZYNQ               DDR +-----> DDR
  |                       FIXED_IO +-----> FIXED_IO
  |                       USBIND_0 +-
-+ TTC0_CLK0_IN         M_AXI_GP0 +-
-+ TTC0_CLK1_IN    TTC0_WAVE0_OUT +-
-+ TTC0_CLK2_IN    TTC0_WAVE1_OUT +-
+-+ M_AXI_GP0_ACLK  TTC0_WAVE2_OUT +-
| |                      FCLK_CLK0 +--+
| |                  FCLK_RESET0_N +- |
| +--------------------------------+  |
+-------------------------------------+

SPI 1: MIO 10 .. 15
SS[1] IO MIO 14
SPI 1 MIO 10 mosi
SPI 1 MIO 11 miso
SPI 1 MIO 12 sclk
SPI 1 MIO 14 ss[1]

The clock is set to ca. 16MHz, which is the maximum the CC3000 can take.

Has anybody had any experience with the CC3000 Adapter, Pmod or SPI on the ZedBoard? I'd be very glad for any help, since I'm pretty much stuck here.

With best regards,
Darius

    Hi, I'm having the same problem. So I was wondering if you managed to solve this issue?
    I was originally using Vivado but changed to PlanAhead so that I could edit the MHS file.
    I used the default Zynq 702 board settings, removed all peripherals except the SD, UART and SPI0. Then I edited the MHS file according and generated the hardware file.
    In my software, the SPI status register is still 0x02. If you managed to get it to work, could you please tell me if you did anything differently?
    Thanks.
