AD-FMCMOTCON1-EBZ Reference Design .tcl doesn't work in Vivado 2014.2

Former Member
Former Member over 11 years ago

I have a AD-FMCMOTCON1-EBZ motor control kit for a Zedboard. I am not able to build the Vivado reference design for the programmable logic as detailed here: http://wiki.analog.com/resources/eval/user-guides/ad-fmcmotcon1-ebz/reference_hdl/linux

Supposedly you clone the github repo:
https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/hdl/tree/master/projects/motor_control

Then open Vivado and in the tcl console type:
cd [project_path]/projects/motor_control/zed
source ./system_project.tcl

It starts making a project but won't finish. This is the error:

ERROR: [BD 5-216] VLNV <xilinx.com:ip:processing_system7:5.3> is not supported for this version of the

tools.The latest version is:5.4
ERROR: [Common 17-39] 'create_bd_cell' failed due to earlier errors.

    while executing
"create_bd_cell -type ip -vlnv xilinx.com:ip:processing_system7:5.3 sys_ps7"
    invoked from within
"set sys_ps7  [create_bd_cell -type ip -vlnv xilinx.com:ip:processing_system7:5.3 sys_ps7]"
    (file "../../../projects/common/zed/zed_system_bd.tcl" line 46)

    while executing
"source $ad_hdl_dir/projects/common/zed/zed_system_bd.tcl"
    (file "system_bd.tcl" line 3)

    while executing
"source system_bd.tcl"
    (procedure "adi_project_create" line 94)
    invoked from within
"adi_project_create motor_control_zed"
    (file "./system_project.tcl" line 5)

    The latest version supported by Analog Devices is Vivado 2013.4.   Alternatively, you could try editing the TCL scripts to work in 2014.2.

    I think this problem is not so much related to the version, but it is related to the IP libraries on my computer. There are MANY related posts with similar problems for the FMCOMMS reference design on the AD forums, for example: https://ez.analog.com/message/156963#156963

    One answer is as follows:
    "I see you are trying to use the Zed board with fmcomms2, for that the following libraries must be built:"

    But I can't find any documentation on what it means to "build" a library in Vivado, and a google search comes up empty. What do you think he means? Do I need to buy something? Do I need to compile something? Do I need to drag a thing from one gui window to another?

    Thanks for posting.  Yes, that is a direct link to instruction for building the Vivado Libraries.

    Also, these designs are still very much alive. ADI does not post updates for every Xilinx version of tools. Instead they typically lag back a few versions.
