AP transaction Error

[jothiadithya]

Hi

I am using ZC702 Eva. Kit. When I tried to program it I get the following error. Software tool used vivado 2013.2

Programming Bitstream -- E:/Workspace_Vivado/ZC702/project_2/project_2.sdk/SDK/SDK_Export/hw_platform_0/system.bit
Fpga Programming Progress .............10.........20.........30.........40.........50.........60.........70.........80.........90........Done
Error:
AP transaction error (DP CTRL_STAT=0xf0000021)
Error Address = 0x00100000, Size = 0x00000004

Please let me know, what could be the problem.

Sounds like a ps7_init issue. The ps_7_init.tcl contains the ps7_init and the ps7 _post_config processes. The first one init's the processing system (soc), the second init's the interface. Level shifters, and interface resets. It sounds like the second process isn't called. What flow are you using? The sdk tools, or XMD?

[stephenm]

You can use the reset command below in XMD to reset your system and try again:
rst -debug_sys

To open XMD from sdk, go to xilinx tools > launch XMD

[jothiadithya]

I am using SDK flow. I tried rst -debug_sys. Still I get the same error

[stephenm]

The reason I asked the flow was that this looks like an initialisation issue of your Processor System, the error message mentions:

Error Address = 0x00100000, Size = 0x00000004

This is the DDR have you configured your DDR correctly in the Processing System IP configuration before exporting to SDK?

If you are using a Demo board, you should use the predefined settings in the import settings in the config gui for this IP,

then re-export to SDK

[jothiadithya]

Yes. DDR is configured properly. I am using zc702 Dev kit.

[stephenm]

Can you do a XMD (Xilinx tools > launch XMD)
connect arm hw
mrd 0x00100000

If you get the same issue then the problem is related to either your DDR isn't configured, or a hw issue with your DDR.

[jothiadithya]

Hi 

Thank you for your response. I get the following msg

XMD% mrd 0x00100000
ERROR: Cannot Read from target

Cannot access DDR: the controller is held in reset

i have attached a zip here. can you download and unzip and try the following?

Can you try the following XMD commands:

cd to where ever you downloaded the zip

connect arm hw

source ps7_init.tcl

ps7_init

ps7_post_config

stop

mrd 0x00100000

note: i used 14.6. if you are not using 14.6, you can leave out the ps7_post_config step

[jothiadithya]

Hi

XMD% source ps7_init.tcl
XMD% source ps7_init
couldn't read file "ps7_init": no such file or directory

But I am not able to download the elf file

[stephenm]

ok, well this is good news. There is nothing wrong with your board. The issue was with the init of the PS. Cam you follow the tutorial below:

Hi

Thank you. I have been using this board for quite some time. This is working when I run this on ram memory. This is having problem only when I try to run on DDR3.

[stephenm]

Have you done a memory test? (Executed from ram)?

[jothiadithya]

Yes. I did. It hangs when it tried access DDR location

[jangire]

Hi Jyothi ,

It seems that the DDR is not configured properly.

Can you do the diagnostics for the DDR to confirm that memory is working.

Regards

Jangi reddy

[jothiadithya]

Hi

As I mentioned, when I try to access DDR, it hangs. Please can you let me know what to do?

[songxin]

same problem, have you solved the problem?
could you please give me some hint?

[moh_13]

hi @stephenm

why i can't connect to arm and why the pin DONE is off on my board ?

[ssampath]

What are the configurations you are expecting  for DDR before exporting to SDK.
