Trenz Electronic FPGA Modules / use prebuilt files
Last post by Lilly_567 - December 15, 2023, 04:24:39 PM
Hi,

I am really sorry about my maybe stupid questions, but I am a beginner. I was given the TE0715-05-73E33-A SoC Module with the TE0706 Carrier Board. Currently, I am trying to get the board to work with the prebuilt files. I did put BOOT.bin from \test_board\prebuilt\boot_images\03_30_3e_1gb\hello_te0715, image.ub from \test_board\prebuilt\os\petalinux\1GB and boot (the EAGLE configuration one) from the same location as the last one one an SD Card. Then I inserted the SD Card into the slot for it. I left the jumpers J10-J13 on their 1.8V position, as even if I would need HR, this also starts at 1.2V. As S1-1 does not change anything, I left it. I did switch S1-2 (PROGMODE) on, so that the SoC itself is programmed. I switched S1-3 (MODE) on in order to use SD-Boot. Furthermore, I switched S1-4 to on as well. Before plugging anything in, I checked my power supply and it was stable 5V. So I plugged in the power connector jack (J1). I connected XMOD JTAG- / UART-header, JX1 using your adapter to my laptop. To open Vivado, I used your vivado_open_existing_project_guimode script. However, I only get the following errors if I try to use the Hardware Manager:

ERROR: [Labtools 27-2269] No devices detected on target localhost:3121/xilinx_tcf/Digilent/2516330083A6A.
Check cable connectivity and that the target board is powered up then
use the disconnect_hw_server and connect_hw_server to re-register this hardware target.
ERROR: [Common 17-39] 'open_hw_target' failed due to earlier errors.
ERROR: [Labtoolstcl 44-513] HW Target shutdown. Closing target: localhost:3121/xilinx_tcf/Digilent/2516330083A6A

I have two green and one red LED glowing, so the board seems to work. However, it does not seem to do anything, as none of the LEDs change.

If I try to use the scripts from \test_board\console\base_cmd that actually want to put something on the board, I get the same problem.

What am I doing wrong?
Thank you so much for spending time on this in advance.
Kind regards,
Lilly

Hi,

unfortunately I do not have a download link for version 4.3.

What you can do from my point of view is the following:
Please contact the Skyworks support for this version or
read the settings of the clock module from the file "te_Si5345-Register.h". This is a little more complicated but should also work.

best regards,
Manuela

Thanx,

Can you provide me a link to this 4.3 version I cannot find it anywhere on the net...

That's right. We need to update the *.slabtimeproj for latest Skyworks versions. The files were created with version 4.3.

Apparently clockbuilder 3.0 is able to load the project. As said the latest Silabs clockbuilder 4.11 doesn't work...

Hi

Sometimes clocks may have coupling that can be an issue. So my idea was to turn off some clocks (SATA/USB) generated by the Si5345B clock chip which I don't need. However if open clock builder pro project enclosed in the reference design:

https://shop.trenz-electronic.de/trenzdownloads/Trenz_Electronic/Modules_and_Module_Carriers/5.2x7.6/TE0807/Reference_Design/2022.2/StarterKit/TE0807-StarterKit-vivado_2022.2-build_6_20230817092640.zip

Clock builder tells me the project (Si5345-RevB-0807Project.slabtimeproj) is corrupt....

After using this reference design succesfully:
https://wiki.trenz-electronic.de/display/PD/TE0807+StarterKit
together with this SOM:
https://shop.trenz-electronic.de/en/TE0807-03-7DE21-AZ-MPSoC-Module-with-AMD-Zynq-UltraScale-ZU7EV-1E-4-GByte-DDR4-5.2-x-7.6-cm

I tried to get the VCU working. So i addeded the VCU to the PL, exported a new XSA and imported it into the petalinux project. However strange thing is that the VCU reports an error:
[   26.602120] al5e 80000000.al5e: Mcu didn't start (no ping after startup, is mcu enabled ?)
[   26.602120] al5d 80020000.al5d: Mcu didn't start (no ping after startup, is mcu enabled ?)
[   26.742147] al5e 80000000.al5e: Failed to setup firmware
[   26.758135] al5d 80020000.al5d: Failed to setup firmware

I only get rid of this error by either starting a petalinux project from scratch or replace the TRENZ FSBL by the default Xilinx ZYNQMP FSBL.

But the reason i ask here is that I'm not sure it's really the FSBL. Using a Trenz TE0803 ZU4EV SOM I was able to get it going with the Trenz FSBL.

I also asked Xilinx but they only told me the VCU is very picky on the applied pll_ref_clk:
https://support.xilinx.com/s/question/0D54U00007g0uDYSAY/cannot-get-vcu-al4dal5e-on-a-trenz-zu4ev-platform-working-using-petalinux-20222

Can you think of a reason why i have so many troubles to get the VCU going?

Gr,
Michiel

I got it now working. Needed to enable:

So I made a dumb mistake with an inline comment in the device tree .
I can compile the device tree but I still get no ethernet detected in ubuntu


Trying to load boot images from dhcp
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
! Booting from TFTP !
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No ethernet found.
