Nexys Video - Putting a MicroBlaze DDR project with the corresponding embedded SW in QSPI Flash

[rarow]

Hello,

I am using Vivado / Vitis 2023.2 with the Nexys Video for a university final year project.

I have created a MicroBlaze (also using DDR  on the Nexys Video) block design which I am able to flash onto the QSPI Flash. Then from Vitis, I am able to program my embedded SW (without reprogramming the FPGA).

I would like to also be able to have the embedded SW on the QSPI Flash along with my HW design. I looked at https://digilent.com/reference/learn/programmable-logic/tutorials/htsspisf/start but there is the issue of the xilisf library being depricated. 

I am unsure where to start and am looking for some guidance.

Best regards,

Yea, the old method is deprecated and doesn't work past Vivado 2019.

 

On the bright side, the newer way explained here https://www.instructables.com/Flashing-a-MicroBlaze-Program works well, and gets both your embedded SW and your FPGA programmed.
