Getting Started
1. Fetch changes from upstream repo
2. Checkout tag of your select release. See releases. This guide assumes VCU118-v2.0-alpha4.
$ git checkout VCU118-v2.0-alpha4
3. Make sure repo is clean
4. Get pre-built bitstream.
$ make get_latest_bitstream TAG=VCU118-v2.0-alpha4
5. Build embedded software
$ make sdk_gen_projects PRJ=VCU118
6. (Optional) Open a new terminal window and start debugging stream. Shows messages from embedded system once programmed.
$ make serial
8. Program FPGA with bitstream + download embedded software and boot
$ make run_VCU118
Troubleshooting
Auto-negotiation failed
Sometimes a race-condition causes the auto-negotiation sequence to fail. This will make it impossible to connect to the embedded software via Ethernet.
Solution: Restart the embedded software only.
$ make run_VCU118_SW
Embedded software hangs
If you tried to talk to read or write a register that does not exist on the FPGA, the embedded system will hang. Unfortunately, there are no ways to avoid this.
Solution: Restart the embedded software only.
$ make run_VCU118_SW
Nothing works at all
Well, yeah.
