ZCU670 Evaluation Kit Tutorial

Using Vivado to Build the Hardware Design and petalinux images

Build Flow¶

This tutorial explains the steps to build the hardware design and software images from the TRD source package.

Prerequisites¶

Vivado Design Suite 2023.2
PetaLinux 2023.2 tools

Note: After sourcing the Vivado tool open ../.Xilinx/Vivado/Vivado_init.tcl and add enable_beta_device command into it to enable all beta devices

To Build the TRD Package with the top Makefile:¶

Follow the below steps to generate petalinux images using the top Makefile in ../zcu670-ethernet-trd-2023.2/Makefile path.

Go to the working directory
```
cd ../zcu670-ethernet-trd-2023.2
```
Run the following command to build and generate sdcard image.

This Makefile calls lower level Makefiles to build hardware XSA and petalinux images. The image generation may take a hour time depends on the system specification.
```
make sdcard
```

The generated images will be located at:

../zcu670-ethernet-trd-2023.2/petalinux/xilinx-zcu670-trd/images/linux

To Build the Hardware Platform XSA:¶

Follow the steps below to build XSA using the Makefile in ../zcu670-ethernet-trd-2023.2/vivado/zcu670_25G_PTP_subsys/Makefile path.

Go to the platform directory.

cd ../zcu670-ethernet-trd-2023.2/vivado/zcu670_25G_PTP_subsys

To build the XSA, Source Vivado tool and run the following command.

The Makefile uses scripts/main.tcl file to create a Vivado project, populate the block design and finally build a XSA. The XSA generation may take a hour time depends on the system specification.
```
make xsa   
```
The generated XSA will be located at:

 ../zcu670-ethernet-trd-2023.2/vivado/zcu670_25G_PTP_subsys/project/xxv_ptp_subsys_wrapper.xsa

To Build the Petalinux Images:¶

Follow the steps below to build petalinux images using the Makefile in ../zcu670-ethernet-trd-2023.2/petalinux/xilinx-zcu670-trd path.

Go to the petalinux BSP folder.

cd ../zcu670-ethernet-trd-2023.2/petalinux/xilinx-zcu670-trd

To build boot images, source petalinux tool and run the following command.

The Makefile configures the hardware platform required to build the petalinux images and create BOOT.BIN, which comprise of FSBL, UBoot, PMU firmware and hardware bit file.
```
make boot
```
The generated images will be located at:
```
../zcu670-ethernet-trd-2023.2/petalinux/xilinx-zcu670-trd/images/linux
```
Note: The XSA used to configure petalinux is available in ../zcu670-ethernet-trd-2023.2/prebuilt/xsa/ path.
Copy the image (image.ub , BOOT.BIN and boot.scr ) to the FAT32 formatted SD card and insert the card in SD card slot to run the design. This image is functionally equivalent to the prebuilt sdcard image provided with package.
