Antonio Fasano Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Hi, Guys I have a project configured and running correctly on Arty-Z7-20 through Vivado 2018 and SDK. What do I have to do to have Arty load that configuration/Software automatically after power-up ? (Without the need to be connected to VIVADO/SDK throught the serial cable) Thanks Antonio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogdanVanca Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Hello @Antonio Fasano, You can boot up your project from the SD card. For that, you need to create an .bin file. To create the .bin file, you need: 1. a BIF file 2. fsbl.elf 3. .bit file (only required if you have a PL logic) 4. your application.elf To create the boot image, please follow the steps below: 1. In your SDK workspace, select Xilinx Tools > Create Boot Image to open the Create Zynq Boot Image wizard 2. Add the FSBL file. 3. Add the .bit file 4. Add the application.elf 5. Select the output folder and click create image Make sure you maintain the same order of files as above. Next, copy the .bin file into the SD card, set the boot mode pins to boot from SD, and power-on the board. Tour application should start immediately after that.

jpeyron Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Hi @Antonio Fasano, Adding to @BogdanVanca's post, here is an older tutorial for the zedboard(zynq processor) that shows how to boot from an sd card or the qspi flash. It should be a good reference for the Arty-Z7 as well. cheers, Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antonio Fasano Posted October 4, 2018 Author Share Posted October 4, 2018 Hi, Bogdan and Jon, Thank you so much for your instructions. I will test it and will report what I find. Best Regards, Antonio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timseverance77 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Bogdan, How would you modify your sequence above if I wanted to use the SPI FLASH instead of the SD card? Thanks. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JColvin Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Hi @timseverance77, I'm not sure which board you are using, but did you look at the tutorial Jon linked here as well as this tutorial here? Thanks, JColvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timseverance77 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 JColvin, Thanks for the response. I am using the Arty Z7 -20. I would like to apply this to other Xilinx Zynq boards that I have here at work like the ZC706. I will take a look at the tutorials. Thanks.
