Get Your Xilinx FPGA/Programmable SoC Questions Answered here

rscasny
rscasny over 6 years ago

In the past year or so, the element14 community has been offering quite a few programs, contests, and initatives around Xilinx's FPGA and heterogeneous SoC, ZYNQ. We have hosted webinars, run roadtests, and offered a training program last year called Path to Programmable.

 

I see element14 member interest in Xilinx product knowledge on the rise. I plan on offering more Xilinx-related projects and roadtests in the coming months. (Stay tuned to Path to Programmable 2 with the Ultra96v2) Given all this activity, I thought it would be a great idea to bring in a Xilinx product expert for some well needed Q&A time. So let me introduce you to Adam Taylor ( adamtaylorcengfiet ).

 

I believe Adam has been an element14 member for several years. He is the Director of ADIUVO Engineering. He is a Chartered Engineer and Fellow of the Institute of Engineering and Technology. He is well known for his Microzed Chronicles. He writes the Exploring the Programmable World for element14. Adam has been instrumental in developing element14's FPGA/Programmable SoC Essentials.

 

Adam also is an expert in the PYNQ framework: Python for ZYNQ productivity. So, if you are asoftware developer who wants to explore the Programmable world, I'd encourage you to ask Adam your top questions.

 

So, if you have any questions revolving around FPGAs, programmable SoCs, a project in progress, perhaps even a question about Vivado, please click REPLY and asked them here.

 

Sincerely,

 

Randall Scasny

    Awesome! It's great that adamtaylorcengfiet is a resource on element14 for Programmable SoC questions. I'm sure I will have many as I finish my Digilent Zybo Z7 RoadTest. I do find Adam's Microzed Chronicles…

    For what it's worth, there is an Integrating Arm Cortex-M soft CPU IP into FPGAs virtual workshop that features Adam Taylor as an instructor and uses the Digilent Arty S7-50T to be held August 14th, 2019…

    I would appreciate any comments on a process on how to make the DDR3 SDRAM MIG work without using the AXI interface in VHDL. As a target platform I have the Digilent Arty S7 board. I tried this during…

    The SDK (2019.1) under Ubuntu 18.04.3 will not complete loading, but halts silently when loading eclipse components.  The host uses an INtel Core I7-3770 CPU with 16 GB or memory and has plenty of memory and disk available when I invoke the SDK from Vivado.

    How can I find out what is causing the halt?

    Thanks

    You could take a look in the SDK log, I think it will be the project directory <project>.sdk

     

    However, the version of Linux your using does not look to supported in 2019.1 https://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/sw_manuals/xilinx2019_1/ug973-vivado-release-notes-install-license.pdf  states 18.04.01

    The SDK.log has informational messages only with no errors or warnings.

    Hopefully I can get the OS downgraded to x.x.1 without a lot of trouble.

    Thanks!

    It seem silly to me that an vendor such as Xilinx would pick nits over a minor version of an OS such as 18.04.1 vs 18.04.3 for Vivado. 

     

    Post any messages you see from the SDK log as Adam states and the error that you are seeing when Vivado runs.  You might want to check the output of 'dmesg' and your '/var/log/syslog' for any errors as well.

     

    However, you could install Virtualbox and create a Ubuntu 18.04.1 VM to run Vivado in without blowing away you running OS.

     

    Again, this just seems silly.  I personally run Vivado on CentOS 7.6 which is not listed as supported, but I got it to work non the less.
