    MAXREFDES32# ZedBoard Quick Start Guide 6. Procedure 1. Install a 2-pin header on the J18 connector on the ZedBoard if the 3V3 header is missing. 2. Configure the ZedBoard boot source jumpers as shown in Figure 8, and remove the shunt on JP6. Figure 8.
  • Page 11 MAXREFDES32# ZedBoard Quick Start Guide 8. Open the Xilinx Software Development Kit (SDK) from the Windows Start menu. 9. SDK will prompt for a workspace directory, which is the location where the software project is located. For this example, it is: C:\designs\maxim\RD32V01_00\RD32_ZED_V01_00\Design_Files\top.sdk\SDK\ SDK_Export Click OK and SDK will open.
  • Page 12 MAXREFDES32# ZedBoard Quick Start Guide 10. Review the SDK IDE. The Project Explorer in the upper left tab should have three components as shown in the image below. If all three subfolders are present, you can skip the next step.
  • Page 13 MAXREFDES32# ZedBoard Quick Start Guide 11. If the Project Explorer does not contain these three subfolders, launch the File | Import menu, expand the General folder, and select Existing Projects into Workspace. Click Next. Set the root directory to: C:\designs\maxim\RD32V01_00\RD32_ZED_V01_00\Design_Files\top.sdk\SDK\ SDK_Export and the missing projects should appear in SDK Project Explorer with their checkboxes checked.
  • Page 14 MAXREFDES32# ZedBoard Quick Start Guide 12. To download the bitstream (.BIT) file to the board, click on the Program FPGA icon (which looks like a green chain of devices). The Program FPGA dialog box appears. From here, an FPGA bitstream (.BIT) file is selected.
  • Page 15 MAXREFDES32# ZedBoard Quick Start Guide 13. Setup of the terminal program to run on the PC using the following steps. Before loading the executable firmware file on the FPGA, the terminal program on the PC should be running. The example firmware running on the FPGA communicates with the PC via a USB port set up to emulate a serial port (UART).
  • Page 16 MAXREFDES32# ZedBoard Quick Start Guide 14. Use the Xilinx SDK to download and run the executable ELF (.ELF) file on the ARM Cortex-A9 processor using the following steps. Right-click the mouse while the MAXREFDES32 C project is selected, choose the Run As menu, and then Run Configurations… menu as shown below.
  • Page 17 MAXREFDES32# ZedBoard Quick Start Guide Next, double-click the mouse on the Xilinx C/C++ ELF menu.
  • Page 18 MAXREFDES32# ZedBoard Quick Start Guide Next, press the Search Project button.
  • Page 19 MAXREFDES32# ZedBoard Quick Start Guide Double-click on the MAXREFDES32.elf binary.
  • Page 20 MAXREFDES32# ZedBoard Quick Start Guide Verify the application is selected on the Main tab.
  • Page 21 MAXREFDES32# ZedBoard Quick Start Guide On the Device Initialization tab, click Browse… button to select the right initialization TCL file and press the Run button. Once the Debug/MAXREFDES32 configuration is set up once, you just need to press the Run button if you ever want to run the program again.
  • Page 22 MAXREFDES32# ZedBoard Quick Start Guide At this point, the application will be running on the Cortex-A9 and the terminal program should show the menu below. Make the desired selections by pressing the appropriate keys on the keyboard. For example, to select Signal Replication, press 1.
