I am currently working on a GUI project and I want to try to implement a simple GUI with an FPGA. The hardware basic module and the entire hardware system have been designed, but the software program is still in the debugging stage. Due to the large program, the internal BRAM of the FPGA is completely insufficient. Only the running program can be put into the DDR DRAM. This led to a two-step process for FPGA programming: 1. Use Impact to download the Download.bit file to the FPGA first (Download.bit file only contains bootloop.elf) 2. Download the executable.elf file to DDR SDRAM via XMD, then run the program Because each time the program changes need to be re-downloaded, it is often necessary to enter the same command in EDKshell or in the XMD terminal. Why is the repetitive work not done by the computer? The following gives a solution, although not perfect, but it is enough for my debugging. Specific steps are as follows: Write a script for downloading bistream files to the FPGA. Of course, the script is definitely based on Impact. Here is the script file, download.cmd setMode -bscan setCable -p auto idenTIfy Assignfile -p 3 -file download.bit Program -p 3 Quit Write a script that downloads the executable file into memory or BRAM via XMD and names it xmd.opt Connect mb mdm; Con; Put download.bit, executable.elf, xmd.opt, and download.cmd in a folder Open the EDK Shell, cd to the folder directory you just created, and then run the following command: 5. Edit a download.tcl file with the following contents Impact –batch download.cmd; Then run the following command in EDKshell: $source download.tcl in conclusion: Edit three script files separately Batch file (.cmd) run with impact Script file (.opt) running with XMD Generic script (.tcl) running with source Finally run under the EDK Shell As for each command of the script, there is no explanation here. If you are interested, you can refer to the following documents: Impact User Manual XMD Operation Manual ~helinski/files/ECE344/T1_XMD%20commands%20REFERENCE%20V2.pdf Revesion V0.1 2010.12.08 KiKi file created V0.2 2010.12.14 KiKi add content related tcl script Pressure Gauges,Door Pressure Gauge,Differential Pressure Gauge,Stainless Steel Manometer ZHOUSHAN JIAERLING METER CO.,LTD , https://www.zsjrlmeter.com
