Microblaze "Hello World" Tutorials outdated / not working

[silantyeved]

I have recently gotten myself an Arty A7 100T board from Digilent. While I was able to do the basic project connecting LEDs to switches, I was not able to get a single tutorial project featuring a Microblaze IP to work. 

I have followed the following projects to the letter:

https://digilent.com/reference/learn/programmable-logic/tutorials/arty-getting-started-with-microblaze-servers/start

https://projects.digilentinc.com/whitney-knitter/hello-microblaze-on-arty-a7-70d9e1
 

My set up is Vivado 2022.1 + Vitis on Ubuntu. I realise that both of the above use Arty A7 35T and not 100T, could that be a problem?

Has anyone ever managed to get Microblaze to work on Arty A7? If so, how did you do it?

Just found this question: 

 

which does suggest that people are getting further but with older versions of Vivado. Is 2022 version known to be buggy?

Update, following

I was able to get a hello world to work from my Arty A7 100T!

Hi @silantyeved

As you noticed, some of the guides are pretty out of date. Where specifically did you run into trouble with the hello-microblaze project?

Of the stuff posted on Reference, this one should be the closest to what you are trying to do: 

https://digilent.com/reference/programmable-logic/guides/getting-started-with-ipi

I don't think it's been tested with the Arty A7-100T in 2022.1 specifically.

For this kind of guide, there should no substantial difference between the A7-100T and the A7-35T, other than the board file you pick when you create the project.

Thanks,

Arthur
