I am new to Zynq, but I have a lot of experience with Microblaze and FPGA's in general. I have purchased two TE0802 boards as a way to get familiar with Zynq US+ before building my own custom board.
I am using Vivado 2020.1
What steps do I need to take to initialize the PL of a Zynq Ultrascale+? I have a very simple design with one Zynq core running "Hello World" and a constant block connected to the LEDS on the TE0802.
If I program my bitfile directly, then the LEDs light up as expected (but Hello World does not run). If I run my hello world application from SDK (right click on application -> Run As -> Launch on Hardware), then hello world runs, but the LEDs do not illuminate indicating that the PL is not initialized.
I feel like I am missing something really simple here. Any help would be appreciated.
Do I need to run a FSBL in order to load the PL bitfile and run my application, or is there a way to do this just using the debugger?
Do I need to add a function call to my hello world application to release the PL configuration so that it can run?
Update: Solved. I just forgot to set the bitfile in the "Debug Configurations -> Target setup". Once I added the bitfile, it works as expected.
