Application Development

This is the preferred method when writing applications on the MicroZed board using the existing runtime library together with the board support package. While you can load and test new custom applications quickly, the configuration of the FPGA is loaded from a flash device. This saves time compared to using the method System Developer.
What must be done when using this method?

  • a POR (power-on reset). For this you have to set the jumpers on your MicroZed board as follows
    .
    This will boot the device from JTAG. The settings of the jumpers will be read only at powerup! Hence, make sure to cycle the supply power after changing the jumper settings.

Step by Step Instructions

  1. Set the jumpers on your MicroZed board as follows
    .
    This will boot the device from JTAG.
  2. Cycle the power. The settings of the jumpers will be read only at power-on! Hence, make sure to cycle the supply power after changing the jumper settings. A soft reset (through the JTAG or by pressing the reset button on the board will reset the board but will not sample the boot mode pins connected to the jumpers.
  3. Create a deep project and setup the project configuration as given in Hello World on the Avnet MicroZed Board.
  4. If you need a valid configuration in your FPGA part (e.g. you are using flink devices), you must select a configuration file for the PL.

    Available configurations can be found under https://wiki.bu.ost.ch/infoportal/embedded_systems/zynq7000/microzed.
  5. When creating the run configuration, set the target configuration to load program to ram .

How Does the System Boot?

  1. reset (by JTAG)
  2. configuration of PLL, clocks, DDR by host system
  3. download of bin-files to OCM and DDR
  4. download of bit-file (if specified)
  5. start at address 0x100
