FPGA ZU3EG configuration without JTAG cable on Ultra96 board

Question

Hey everybody !

I have a Ultra96.V2 board and I don't have the Ultra96 JTAG/UART Pod to configure the FPGA.

It's the first time for me that I use an FPGA Zynq which mix PL and PS.

Anyone know how I can configure the FPGA without JTAG cable ? May be if I put the bitstream file in the SD card it's possible ?

If anyone can help me...WELCOME !!

I'm french, so I'm sorry for the spelling mistakes

Have a good day

Hi there,

It just so happens that the main repo has many boot options / instructions listed.

You might also do well working through some of our Technical Training Courses. They were written for an older version of the tools, but the skills transfer.

You can also pickup on just about any of our reference designs. Here are some generic links for you:

Hey Daniel,

Thanks for your answer !

Finally I configure my FPGA with SD card through the following steps :

1-Create a project on Vivado

2-"Export Hardware" from vivado to creat a .xsa file

3-Open Vitis IDE and import .xsa file

4-Create BOOT image in vitis with .bit partiton for the PL and .elf partition for PS

5-Copy and Paste the BOOT file in my sd CARD

This is works good !
