Communicate serial data with ethernet on Arty-Z7

Jonathan101 over 1 year ago

Hi!

I build custom board which consist of Xilinx SOC but i ask now specifically about Arty-z7 board.

On that board I always use built in usb-uart JTAG in order to program, and communicate to/from

the board and see the serial data on the terminal.

Is it possible to communicate serial data traffic via ethernet [rj45]?

HI Johnthan101: Vitis uses TCF agent for debugging tool chain now. Here is one of HOWTOs for this topic: Building and Debugging Linux Applications ¶ https://xilinx.github.io/Embedded-Design-Tutorials…

The short answer is YES. However, you need to add more codes at u-boot layer and possible kernel if you need to debug Linux. I did not do this flow, but I knew Xilinx supports it.

Ok that is something.

I am not familiar with those high technical subjects.

1. Can you suggest background material on them?

2. You mention Linux. Is it difference between implement this on Linux vs Standalone?

Thanks!

That's a 455 page document. At a level that will not help anything Jonathan101 asked.

HI Johnthan101:

Vitis uses TCF agent for debugging tool chain now.

Here is one of HOWTOs for this topic:

Building and Debugging Linux Applications¶

https://xilinx.github.io/Embedded-Design-Tutorials/docs/2022.1/build/html/docs/Introduction/ZynqMPSoC-EDT/6-build-linux-sw-for-ps.html

UG908 can let you download/debug FPGA PL via Ethernet and TCF agent can give you an option for Linux applications debug via Ethernet.

Enjoy your learning journey.
