Beginner with the TE0603-02 GigaBee board.

[willycat]

hi

i am completely new to the fpga world.

i have the following hardware and software:

-GigaBee TE0600-02 board.
-GigaBee TE0603-02 carrier board.
-Xilinx Platform cable USB II.
-Xilinx ISE 14.6

I followed the instructions of the pdf in the TE-BSB archive except that:

-The content of the board directory of the TE-BSB archive was copied into \Xilinx\14.6\ISE_DS\EDK\board instead of \Xilinx\14.6\ISE_DS\EDK\data\board.

-It was necessary to temporary remove the axi_onewire_v1_00_a because even if choosing the PLB bus in the bsb wizard, the plb_singlewire_0 ip were configured to be connected to an axi bus and it was not possible to change this.

I did all the steps until the debugging phase:

- the print function does nothing (nothing is printed in the console). I tried with the "hello world" example and it does the same).

- debugging the software reveal that memory tests fail.

Can you help me ?

Thanks,

Willy.

Hi Willy,

Better try to build reference projects. BSB is not flexible and not working in latest ISE versions.
You can found reference projects in GIT repository https://github.com/Trenz-Electronic/TE060X-GigaBee-Reference-Designs
