Title: Help Needed: Best Starter Setup for TE0715 with Vivado 2023.1
Post by: davidmillerdavid on May 29, 2025, 07:23:52 AM
Hi everyone,

I am fairly new to working with Trenz boards and recently got the TE0715-04-30-2C module. I am planning to use it with Vivado 2023.1 on a Windows 11 setup. I have been through the Trenz Wiki but wanted to ask directly here :-

What is the recommended starting point in terms of reference designs or precompiled projects for this board: ??

Do I need to customize the board files for Vivado 2023.1 or are the default ones on GitHub still good to go: ??

Any advice on working with the PMOD interfaces or clock config on this module: ??

Would really appreciate input from anyone who has hands-on experience with this board. Just want to make sure I am starting off with the right setup and avoid rookie mistakes.

Thanks in advance!!

With Regards,
David

The BEST is that you use our preferred method and download our reference design. You should use 2023.2 version. So you need update your Vivado. We have no support for 2023.1

PMOD is just 8 IO, what Advice you need about working with 8 IO pins?

Same for Clock, what advice are you looking? There are some options in the PS config in Vivado, and you can use PLL in the fabric to generate more clocks as needed.
