  1. Bad search parameters in the BLOG.
  2. Ummm? I thought "Cmod-A7-35T-OOB" was the Out-of-box project? The name on the GIT site is: "Cmod A7-35T Out-of-Box Demo Vivado 2018.2" I am really confused. What project is shipped from the factory inventory of the Cmod A7?
  3. I have built the CmodA7 using Vivado 18.3. The IP generator complained about the IP upgrades being incompatible, however, I was able to go through all 19 steps. Errata/Notes in the GIT CmodA7 instructions: 1) Step #4 - I had to build the design, including the generation of the IP, before step #4 could be performed. 2) Step #8 - I referenced "user_1_wrapper_hw_platform_0" instead of "design_1_wrapper_hw_platform_0". 3) Step #18 - Make sure you select: "Cmod-A7-35T-OOB" instead of "Cmod-A7-35T-OOB_bsp" to perform the "Run As" operation. My bad. 4) Step #19 - Typo. It is imbedded into step #18. 5) Step #16 - I used PuTTY and had to go into the Windows Device Manger to find the correct COM port to use. Just saying. 6) Things fall apart for Vivado 19.2 at Step #5. Previous discussion have indicated that a 19.2 steps will be investigated.
  4. Statement: "I prefer that users create their own bitstream. " There are pros/cons to that. If I load a bad configuration into a board; I like to be able to return to a known OOP baseline to test the board and make sure I did not damage it. My $0.02.
  5. NVM -> QSPI Configuration ROM (Non-volatile Memory).
  6. Couple of things are my fault: 1) I needed to go to the "release files" to find the correct ZIP; my bad. 2) I have Vivado 19.2 and the IP between 18.2 and 19.2 is incompatible. 3) There is NOT a bitstream file in the ZIP. My next steps are to recreate the design using 18.3 (18.2 no longer available). I attempted to read the NVM as is; it appears to be write protected.
  7. I am trying to program the CmodA7 Demo OOB. I have downloaded the .ZIP file (18.2) from the GIT site. Here are the problems I am encountering: 1) No .bit file. 2) No .xpr file. 3) The instructions reference files that do not exist in the ZIP. Is there a way I can obtain the OOB bit file for the CmodA7? Can the instructions be freshened to match the ZIP file structure?
