Arty Z7 HDMI_IN/OUT FAILS


rpm886

Question

I recently purchased two Arty Z7-20 boards and both the HDMI In and Out demo projects fail to be created in Vivado 2016.4.

I'm following these instruction:

https://reference.digilentinc.com/learn/programmable-logic/tutorials/arty-z7-hdmi-in-demo

Fails on Running make_wrapper (screen freezes) after create_project.tcl

I read on forum that this may be needed to be installed:

Digilent/vivado-library

However the git clone fails.

Can anyone please help?

Hi @rpm886,

After some research and talking to the creator of the arty-Z7 HDMI-OUT project I was able to fix the issue. We will fix the project on github in the next few days but with the existing project all you need to do is delete the fsbl and fsbl_bsp (selecting the project contents on the disk). Then create a new application. Name it fsbl , select next and choose zynq fsbl and then click finish. I just did this and confirmed that it works on my monitor using tera term.

cheers,

Jon

Hi @rpm886,

Could you send me screen shots of what your sdk HDMI-OUT project looks like as well as attach your project compressed? I have attached a file that has screen shots of whats in HDMI-IN and HDMI-IN_bsp as well as the what the terminal menu when the board is programmed. I am working on the HDMI-OUT. 

cheers,

Jon

So I finally got the HDMI_In and out to be created properly AND HDMI_In is finally working!!!!

However, Hdmi_Out Demo  is still reporting missing IP errors in the SDK.

Is the Vivado_Libary repo in github correct for hdmi_out demo?

I downloaded the vivid-library and copied the contents to the repo folder of the projects cdmi_in and out.

As before (I did this earlier) when I create the project using create_project.tcl' vivid hangs at:

screen freezes forever and I have to kill the process.

What's different is if I reboot I can create a bitstream from the project that froze previously BUT when I export to SDK and launch SDK I get errors:

Hi @rpm886,

I found an xilinx forum thread here that talks about this issue.  So when you download the HDMI_in/out demo's you also need to download the vivado library folder in the repo folder here(hdmi-in) and here(hdmi-out) as well. Then in your downloaded project you need to put the contents of the vivado library download into the vivado library folder in the repo folder. You know that you have done this correctly when you go into repo->vivado library in the downloaded project and it has the contents from here(hdmi-in) and here(hdmi-out) in it.

cheers,

Jon

Found an issue with my SDK install following this link:

https://www.lvoudouris.com/installing-xilinx-vivado-2016-4-and-intel-modelsim-starter-edition-16-1-on-64-bit-ubuntu-16-10-2/

It's probably because libstdc++.so.6 shipped with SDK is an older/incompatible version. The solution is to use your system's library instead. In a terminal execute the following commands 

sudo mv /opt/Xilinx/SDK/2016.4/lib/lnx64.o/libstdc++.so.6 /opt/Xilinx/SDK/2016.4/lib/lnx64.o/libstdc++.so.6.orig

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 /opt/Xilinx/SDK/2016.4/lib/lnx64.o/libstdc++.so.

 

So NOW I can compile Jon's project BUT my hopefully last problem is this:

59426f3457d05_ScreenShot2017-06-15at7_28_00AM.png.4effcbc105577cd02dad31ebdf73db7e.png

 

I'm confused because the FPGA programed fine from SDK but something isn't configured correctly.

Once I figure this out I need to go back to the original issue ...

 

I still can only load Jon's project in Vivado and can NOT create the hdmi_in/out demos using "create" and git clone "repo'o mv /opt/Xilinx/SDK/2016.4/lib/lnx64.o/libstdc++.so.6 /opt/Xilinx/SDK/2016.4/lib/lnx64.o/libstdc++.so.6.orig sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 /opt/Xilinx/SDK/2016.4/lib/lnx64.o/libstdc++.so.6

So I started over from scratch using the hdmi_in demo and I still have issues creating the project using source ./create_project.tcl' :

It hangs at:

594260a768b66_ScreenShot2017-06-15at6_20_14AM.png.6a53a73e4cf784b8eaf328b01a15ffb3.png

 

I'm cloning from:

git clone https://github.com/Digilent/Arty-Z7-20-hdmi-in.git 

It there something missing from this repo?

 

//-----------------------------------------------------------//

I gave up and downloaded Jon's project  Arty-Z7-20-hdmi-in-master.tar.gz

It loads into vivido fine.

I can generate bitstream and export into the SDK fine.

I can import the project and program the FPGA.

However, when I try to run the .elf I get this:

Any suggestions?

Hi @rpm886,

Throughout today I downloaded and installed vivado/sdk 2016.4 and ran the hdmi-in for the Arty-z7-20. When you have generated the bitstream and exported the sdk you should move the hdmi-in and hdmi-in_bsp from the sdk folder in to the project folder. Then launch sdk. I then import the hdmi-in and hdmi-in_bsp and you should be ready to go! I have attached my project below. 

cheers,

Jon

No I can Generate Bitstream and Export to SDK and SDK launches fine.

So 

Now that I'm creating a project I could run block design validation:

And as my previous message noted I can now launch SDK , however I'm still getting these:

So I've made more progress but not there yet. For those out there installing Xilinx Vivado & SDK  from scratch on Ubuntu 16.04. 

Read This:

https://askubuntu.com/questions/761604/eclipse-not-working-in-16-04

SDK won't launch without adding this to eclipse.ini:

--launcher.GTK_version
2

Now that my SDK is launching ....

I'm running into this problem when trying to program from SDK:

Any suggestions?

rpm886,

I am wondering if this is an OS related issue, I am running Windows 8.1, so this seems likely. Going to have a coworker with an ubuntu VM attempt to debug your issue further.

Block design validation would only do anything after create_project has completed.

With the submodule fully checked out, there shouldn't be any fundamental problems with missing source files, outside of vivado having trouble with Linux (ubuntu?) file paths, which I don't believe that it does.

Are you able to launch Vivado SDK directly, rather than through Vivado? I am unsure how you would do this in linux...

So I rebooted after it froze and I was able to generate a bit stream!!

Progress! (Still not sure why it hangs on creation)

But I'm now having trouble.

I'm hanging when I Launch the SDK:

This is a new vivid install.

Hi Arthur

Thanks for the quick response.

So I was able to install the vivado-library in my user directory after all (Not sure why it failed earlier). However the create_project.tcl still fails and freezes here:

594178ea364f0_ScreenShot2017-06-14at1_54_38PM.png.a89f04cdef3e99c60d2df50dfb345257.png

 

I I did not use the zip files. I cloned the git repos for both cdmi in and out.

Here is what the sub dir look like:

rpm886@ubuntu:~/Arty-Z7-20-hdmi-in$ ls -ralt
total 44
-rw-rw-r--  1 rpm886 rpm886  168 Jun 14 13:47 README.md

drwxr-xr-x 29 rpm886 rpm886 4096 Jun 14 13:49 ..

I then ran:

git submodule init and git submodule update from within the repo directories.

which reinstalled the lib:

Submodule path 'repo/vivado-library': checked out '253458c61c2baead8eb3e5f94110d827317791b9'

 

Now it freezes at a different place here:

59417bd9c1491_ScreenShot2017-06-14at2_08_39PM.png.4cb12c5532f48446a4c4794c07b715ed.png

 

It never returns from create so will not sure what "Attempting to run validation of the block design after create_project" will show.

 

Had to reboot and but not sure where to find "validation of the block design". F6 did nothing.

???

Anything else I could try?

@rpm886

After running through generation of the project and reproducing what is likely your bug (picture attached), it looks like not all of the required files were included in the release zip archive for the project. You should be able to get the project running by cloning the hdmi project repository and using that to follow all steps of the tutorial after downloading and extracting the ZIP archive.

Alternatively, the git submodule route I mentioned in the previous post may also work, as long as the git shell recognizes the extracted directory as a git repo.

Sorry for the inconvenience...

@rpm886

Could you provide a screenshot of the contents of your Arty-Z7-20-hdmi-in repo's /repo/ subdirectory?

When you say that the clone of vivado-library failed, are you able to provide any more specific information on why or how, like specific error messages?

You may need to run "git submodule init" then "git submodule update" in a Git shell within your Arty-Z7-20-hdmi-in repo directory rather than cloning vivado-library directly. This will effectively clone vivado-library into the proper place within the repo, I am not sure that this will work without knowing why directly cloning vivado-library failed.

Attempting to run validation of the block design after create_project may also help show where the issues are (F6 keyboard shortcut).

I will attempt to reproduce your bug and then get back to you, let me know if any of my suggestions uncover more information.

Thanks,

Arthur
