Corona (MAXREFDES12#) ZedBoard Quick Start Guide 3. Included Files The top level of the hardware design is a Xilinx ISE Project Navigator Project (.XISE) for Xilinx ISE version 14.2. The Verilog-based top.v module provides FPGA/board net connectivity, allows HDL interaction with peripherals, and instantiates the wrapper that carries both the Zynq Processing System and (I2C, SPI, GPIO, UART) soft peripherals that interface to the Pmod ports.
Corona (MAXREFDES12#) ZedBoard Quick Start Guide 4. Procedure 1. Connect the Corona board to the JA1 port of a ZedBoard as shown in Figure 1. 2. Connect the 24V DC power supply positive terminal to the TP3 connector on the Corona board. Connect the 24V DC power supply ground terminal to the TP4 connector on the Corona board. 3. Power up the ZedBoard by sliding the SW8 switch on the ZedBoard to the ON position. 4. Download the latest RD12V01_00.ZIP file at www.maximintegrated.com/AN5611.
Corona (MAXREFDES12#) ZedBoard Quick Start Guide 6. Open the Xilinx Software Development Kit (SDK) from the Windows Start menu. 7. SDK will prompt for a workspace directory, which is the location where the software project is located. For this example, it is: C:\designs\maxim\RD12V01_00\RD12_ZED_V01_00\Design_Files\sdkWorkspace Click OK and SDK will open. The Xilinx SDK is based on an Eclipse™-based IDE, so it will be a familiar flow for many software developers.
Corona (MAXREFDES12#) ZedBoard Quick Start Guide 8. Review the SDK IDE. The Project Explorer in the upper left tab should have three components as shown in the image below. If all three subfolders are present, you can skip the next step.
Corona (MAXREFDES12#) ZedBoard Quick Start Guide 9. If the Project Explorer does not contain these three subfolders, launch the File | Import menu, expand the General folder, and select Existing Projects into Workspace. Click Next. Set the root directory to: C:\designs\maxim\RD12V01_00\RD12_ZED_V01_00\Design_Files\sdkWorkspace and the missing projects should appear in SDK Project Explorer with their checkboxes checked. Click Finish to import the projects.
Corona (MAXREFDES12#) ZedBoard Quick Start Guide 10. To download the bitstream (.BIT) file to the board, click on the Program FPGA icon (which looks like a green chain of devices). The Program FPGA dialog box appears. From here, an FPGA bitstream (.BIT) file is selected. Be sure to select the .BIT file by using the paths below. Bitstream: C:\designs\maxim\RD12V01_00\RD12_ZED_V01_00\Design_Files\top.bit Press Program.
Corona (MAXREFDES12#) ZedBoard Quick Start Guide 11. Use the Xilinx SDK to download and run the executable ELF (.ELF) file on the ARM Cortex-A9 processor using the following steps. Right-click the mouse while the MAXREFDES12 C project is selected, choose the Run As menu, and then Run Configurations… menu as shown below.
Corona (MAXREFDES12#) ZedBoard Quick Start Guide Next, double-click the mouse on the Xilinx C/C++ ELF menu.
Corona (MAXREFDES12#) ZedBoard Quick Start Guide Next, press the Search Project button.
Corona (MAXREFDES12#) ZedBoard Quick Start Guide Double-click on the MAXREFDES12.elf binary.
Corona (MAXREFDES12#) ZedBoard Quick Start Guide Verify the application is selected on the Main tab. On the Device Initialization tab, click the Browse… button to select the correct initialization TCL file, then press the Run button.
Corona (MAXREFDES12#) ZedBoard Quick Start Guide Once the Debug/MAXREFDES12 configuration is set up once, you just need to press the Run button if you ever want to run the program again. At this point, the application is running on the ARM Cortex-A9 processor. The LEDs LD7−LD0 on the ZedBoard indicate the voltage levels of the digital input channels IN8−IN0, respectively. LED ON indicates a high-voltage input, LED OFF indicates a low-voltage input.
