Introduction

On this page you are going to find all the necessary information to start from scratch to use the RidgeRun SDK on your Ultrascale+ zynq ZCU102 board.

  • First section, configure serial access, tftp and NFS.
  • Second sections, instructions on how to install required software like Xilinx SDK.
  • Third section, SDK configuration.

On the rest of this document, we refer as $DEVDIR to the path where the RidgeRun SDK for Ultrascale+ Zynq ZCU102 EVM is installed.

Also it is important to mention that the Eval SDK for the Ultrascale+ zynq ZCU102 can be obtained from Ridgerun downloads section at: http://www.ridgerun.com

Basic preliminary work

Setting up serial access to the Linux console

You can use termnet to control u-boot and linux. For this purpose, the board needs to be connected to the same network as the host computer. This is useful because the board doesn't have to be directly connected to the PC containing the SDK.

Setting up termnet - Ubuntu

If you use the serial port to control u-boot and Linux. The picocom terminal emulator work well for this purpose.

Setting up Picocom - Ubuntu

Setting up a TFTP server

If you are planning to use the SDK's installer to install images generated by the SDK in SPI-NOR, installing a TFTP server you will speed up downloads to the target hardware by using TFTP.

Setting Up A Tftp Service

Setting up a NFS server

For application development, it is convenient to use root NFS mount file system for the target hardware. This allows you to rebuild your application on the host and immediately run the application on the target hardware with no interveining steps. You host PC needs to be configured as a NFS server for this in order to work properly.

Setting Up A NFS Service

Installing Toolchains and XSDK

Need to download Xilinx SDK "XSDK" for getting toolchain and image generator software. XSDK can be downloaded from: https://www.xilinx.com/support/download/index.html/content/xilinx/en/downloadNav/embedded-design-tools.html

Select SDK 2016.3: Linux Self Extracting Web Installer You need to complete Xilinx registration process in order to download. File is around 1.3Gb

Change permissions to XSDK installer and execute: 

cd ~/Downloads/
chmod 777 Xilinx_SDK_2016.3_1011_1_Lin64.bin
./Xilinx_SDK_2016.3_1011_1_Lin64.bin

Install XSDK 2016.3 at /opt/Xilinx/Downloads.

XSDK Install process images:

Xilinx Sdk1.jpg

Xilinx Sdk2.jpg

Xilinx Sdk3.jpg

Xilinx Sdk4.jpg

Xilinx Sdk5.jpg

Xilinx Sdk6.jpg

Xilinx Xsdk7.jpg


After installing a directory structure similar to the one shown below will be obtained: 

ls /opt/Xilinx/SDK/2016.3
bin  data  doc  eclipse  gnu  lib  scripts  settings64.csh  settings64.sh  tps

Ultrascale+ File System

Ridgerun SDK is able to use different types of file systems:

  • Basic file system created by Ridgerun SDK
    • Ridgerun SDK is in charge of building basic applications to deploy this filesystem.
    • This is a limited fs, but SDK has all Ridgerun classes to add more applications if needed.
    • Very small footprint.
    • File system with Busybox and Gstreamer.
  • Basic Debian precompiled file system created by Ridgerun SDK (Still not available)
    • Ridgerun provides a debian precompiled file system that is able to get packages with apt-get for aarch64
    • Able to get applications from Debian repositories.
    • Small footprint, allows the user to install packages as required
cd ~/Downloads
unzip Ubuntu_Source_Release.zip
chown $USER /opt/
mkdir /opt/ridgerun/downloads/
mkdir /opt/Xilinx/UbuntuFS
cd /opt/Xilinx/UbuntuFS
cpio -idv < ~/Downloads/Ubuntu_Source_Release/Linux_Files/rootfs_cpio/ZCU102_Ubuntu_2_rootfs.cpio

At the end you will obtain FS at the directory: 

/opt/Xilinx/UbuntuFS$ ls
@!        dev          home     lost+found  proc     run              sbin  usr
bin       etc          include  media       qt       run_cube_del.sh  srv   var
boot      ffmpeg       lib      mnt         QT_cube  run_cube.sh      sys
cube_new  glmark2.png  log      opt         root     run_desktop.sh   tmp

Ridgerun SDK config, build and install

Download Ultrascale+ zynq ZCU102 eval SDK from Ridgerun store

Download SDK from Ridgerun downloads, Evaluation SDKs: http://www.ridgerun.com/downloads

1. Set your environment variables

  cd $DEVDIR
 `make env`

2. Start build process

  cd $DEVDIR
 make

3. Configuration menu

Configuration menu will be deployed

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

By default the SDK is configured for creating a demo SD card image with NFS. Exit and save configuration, SDK will continue building.

Install

After build process finishes, use make install in order to create SD card image at $(DEVDIR)/images/ 

make install

And follow instructions to store sdcard.img at SD: 

  You can use the image file to flash an SD card:
    1. Plug your SD card (say it is device /dev/sdX)
    2. Unmount it ('sudo umount' should help)
    3. Flash: sudo dd bs=1M if=$(DEVDIR)/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/sdX
Installation complete
