Compatibility with the usual ADI methods

Category: Software
Product Number: BytePipe_x9002 SOM

Hi,

I started with the quickstart and went from there but one thing seems to be a little unclear.  I've used other adrv9002 demo boards from ADI and they have a pretty consistent way of doing things.  The sd card images you suggest to use seem to be a more slimed down version of that.  Which is fine, but it may take some getting used to if that's the only way of doing things so I just wanted to know.  I had a bunch of questions that are all in the same area:

- Can I connect to the device from TES over ethernet like other products support?

- Do your sd card images support connecting to the device with IIO drivers?

- How do I put petalinux on the sd card so that I may run other software on the arm part of the SoC?

Lastly, would the sd card images from analog.com work natively on the board?

Thanks,

Chris

  • - Can I connect to the device from TES over ethernet like other products support?

    No

    - Do your sd card images support connecting to the device with IIO drivers?

    We have a special build for that, but our custom firmware does not use IIO drivers.

    - How do I put petalinux on the sd card so that I may run other software on the arm part of the SoC?

    I've tried this before with the help of an engineer outside our organization and it worked.  I don't remember the exact procedure but I believe you do this:

    1. customize petalinux build using .xsa of your choice
    2. Create platform project in Vitis using petalinux build
    3. Create application project in Vitis to include a baremetal application
    4. Build both projects and use generated boot.bin

    Again, my memory is foggy regarding this procedure so I recommend consulting supplementary material from Xilinx. 

    This video should help with what to do after you've built your desired flavor of petalinux: https://www.xilinx.com/video/software/building-linux-application-vitis.html

    No

  • Hi, where would I look in order to get some of these special build type things?  
    And in terms of connectivity from the Zynq to the 9001 are the pins or peripheral different than the standard ADI ref designs?  I have some prototype systems running on a 9001 dev board with ZCU102 and I'd like to port those over to your setup while also taking advantage of the Linux toolset they have.

  • Recently, we tried to get the IIO build up and running but discovered some bugs. We are in process of fixing them.
