Boot Loader

Your MicroZed boards need a valid boot loader if you want to start it from the QSPI flash. To check if you have a valid boot loader already in your flash, follow these steps

  1. Set the jumpers on your MicroZed board as follows
    .
    This will boot the device from the QSPI flash.
  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. Use a terminal program to open the COM port on J2.
  4. Press reset
    . This will reboot the device and cause the boot loader to run again
  5. Check if the blue done led lights up. This signals that the boot loader successfully loaded the FPGA.
  6. Check the output of the terminal program. It show the following output
