How to change kernel base address in ZedBoard

prasannakotrappa

Hi There,

I am new to petalinux and  trying to configure petalinux on zynq 7000.

My Zynq PL section is programmed for DRAM address 0x40000000 to 7FFFFFFF, and tested its working in bare metal. However, now I want Petalinux to see PL address(0x40000000 to 7FFFFFFF) as the DRAM.

When I executed below petalinux-config command, I am unable to change kernel base address and System memory base address to 0x40000000 under Subsystem AUTO Hardware Setting, It says "You have made an invalid entry."

"petalinux-config --get-hw-description=</projects/zynq70000_ps-pl>"

I followed this article which tries to achieve similar goal but still no luck, https://xilinx-wiki.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/A/pages/18842219/Zynq-7000+AP+SoC+-+32+Bit+DDR+Access+with+ECC+Tech+Tip

please help me how to get this working, I am stuck here since 2 weeks.

PS: I am using vivado 2020.1

Prasanna

  • This Xilinx forum post, although for a MicroBlaze CPU, seems to describe what you want to do:

    Hello,

    Thanks for your response,

    I tried that, but my case is different,

     

    Let me describe my design clearly, I have a address translation device in my PL and I want all the memory request has to passed through the PL and PL will access the DDR for read/store.

    I am currently working on Zedboard,

    whose DDR address is from 0x00000000 to 0x3FFFFFFF and

    my PL address range is from 0x40000000 to 0x7FFFFFFF.

    I tested working of this design in Vitis, and confirmed that if I write anything in the address range from 0x40000000 to 0x7FFFFFFF, it is will go through my PL and it writes to DDR in the backend(Exactly how I wanted).

    Now I am trying to boot petalinux and wants petalinux to write to address only to my PL address range,

    Here's the steps I followed,

    petalinux-create -t project -s avnet-digilent-zedboard-v2020.1-final.bsp

    petalinux-config --get-hw-description=<path to my xsa>

    When I executed petalinux-config command, I could not change kernel base address and System memory base address to 0x40000000 under Subsystem AUTO Hardware Setting, It says "You have made an invalid entry." so I kept them as it is i.e. kernel base address 0x0.

    However, I modified system-user.dtsi file as mentioned by @aravindb , and it looks like this,

    /include/ "system-conf.dtsi"
    / {
    /* PS DDR Range <0x00 0x00 0x00 0x7ff00000> */
    /* PL DDR Range <0x04 0x00 0x01 0x00>  */
    memory {
    device_type = "memory";
    reg = <0x40000000 0x3fffffff>;
    };

    };

    Built the project using the below command,

    petalinux-build

    petalinux-package --boot --fsbl images/linux/zynq_fsbl.elf --fpga /<path to bit stream>design_1_wrapper.bit --u-boot

    I copied BOOT.BIN boot.scr image.ub system.dtb files from /image/linux directory to SD card and tried to boot on the board, below is the error what I get,
