Created page with '== Create PetaLinux Platform == <pre> $ petalinux-new-platform -c <cpu-arch> -v <VENDOR> -p <PLATFORM> </pre> * -c <cpu type> As of PetaLinux 1.3, supported CPU types are 'microb…'

New page

== Create PetaLinux Platform ==
<pre>
$ petalinux-new-platform -c <cpu-arch> -v <VENDOR> -p <PLATFORM>
</pre>
* -c <cpu type> As of PetaLinux 1.3, supported CPU types are 'microblaze' and 'ppc440'.
* -v <VENDOR> This is the vendor name – often you will use your company's name
* -p <PLATFORM> The name of the platform or product you are building.

The configuration files of the software platform are created in the directory
''$PETALINUX/software/petalinux-dist/vendors/<VENDOR>/<PLATFORM>.''
The new platform is automatically selected when running the petalinux-new-platform
command, so there is no need to launch the toplevel configuration menu, and select the new platform.

== Configure Software Platform ==
Generate the hardware configuration files and copy the configuration files to the right place in PetaLinux.
<pre>
$ cd /opt/petalinux-v1.3-final-full/hardware/user-platforms/YourProject
$ petalinux-copy-autoconfig
</pre>

Launch the Linux kernel configuration menu and do some configuration if needed.
<pre>
$ petalinux-config-kernel
</pre>

Launch the user applications and system settings configuration menu.
<pre>
$ petalinux-config-apps
</pre>

== Build PetaLinux ==
This step take some time
<pre>
$ cd $PETALINUX/software/petalinux-dist
$ make
</pre>
The compilation log stores in ''build.log'' file in the ''petalinux-dist/'' directory.

== Run On Board ==

Run XMD by typing ''xmd'' in the terminal.
Downlad the hardware bitstream to the fpga and connect to the board.
<pre>
XMD% fpga -f /opt/petalinux-v1.3-final-full/hardware/user-platforms/YourProject/implementation/download.bit
XMD% connect mb mdm -debugdevice devicenr #
</pre>
Check the value of ''Instruction Cache Base Address'', i.e.:
* Instruction Cache Base Address.....0xb0000000
Download PetaLinux binary image to board at the instruction cache base address, set program counter to that location and tell the board to start/continue.
<pre>
XMD% dow -data /opt/petalinux-v1.3-final-full/software/petalinux-dist/images/linux.bin 0xb0000000
XMD% rwr pc 0xb0000000
XMD% con
</pre>

Connect to UART with settings 115200 8-N-1.
Log in as "root" with password "root".
Have fun!

== Digilent Atlys ==

When using XMD on the Atlys, it is necessary to provide extra statements to communicate with the hardware:
-cable type xilinx_plugin modulename digilent_plugin
i.e.
fpga -f download.bit -cable type xilinx_plugin modulename digilent_plugin
connect mb mdm -cable type xilinx_plugin modulename digilent_plugin
From here you just do as usual, i.e.
dow -data linux.bin 0xb0000000
<...>

== ISE DS Version 13.1 ==

=== Ethernet MAC Address ===
The MAC address is randomized by default.

Use the PetaLinux System Configuration Menu to specify the new MAC address.
$ petalinux-config-apps
System Settings ---> Network Addresses
Untick "Randomise MAC address" and enter appropriate MAC address in the next field.
Exit and save.

Rebuild U-boot and the images within PetaLinux:
[petalinux/software/petalinux-dist]$ make u-boot image

New in platform configuration
$ petalinux-platform-config --update
