reVision project for ZCU102 ES2 runing on ZCU102 Production?

[alexandre.willeme]

Hi!

I have a Vivado+SDX project based on reVision 2017.2 for zcu102 ES2.

I must buy a zcu102 Production board and I wondered how easy it would be to make my project run on this card ?

Is it enough to change the targeted card or are there other things I must care about ?

Thanks in advance,

Alexandre

Hi @alexandre.willeme

Please have a look at the hardware requirement below,

Required:

• ZCU104 Evaluation Board, or
• ZCU102 Evaluation Board
  • rev 1.0 with ES2 silicon or
  • rev 1.0 with production silicon
• Micro-USB cable, connected to laptop or desktop computer for the terminal emulator
• SD card (ZCU102) or
• micro-SD card (ZCU104)

Please refer to the tutorial and other requirements here,

Hi @nutang,

Thanks for your answer. Nonetheless, I do not think you understand my question correctly. I will try to rephrase it.

I must replace my ZCU102 ES2 by a ZCU102 production I plan to buy. I have a project based on reVision for ZCU102 ES2 with a lot of stuff I made myself inside it. If I want to have this project run on ZCU102 production, do I have to:

1) Only change the target board in Vivado and SDx to ZCU102 production. (which would be easy)

OR

2) Download an original version of the reVision project for ZCU102 production (available on the link you sent me) and add my stuff, one by one, so as to replicate the project that I have currently working on ZCU102 ES2. (which I would like to avoid, of course)

OR

3) Do something else.

My bet would be option 1), of course, but I just wanted to check that with you before I actually purchase the ZCU102 production.

Thanks in advance,

Alexandre

Hi!

Could someone help me? I want to make sure of that before I invest a couple of k$ on this board.
Thanks

Hi @alexandre.willeme

From your description I understood that, you have created your own platform project in SDSoC using your dsa.

If I am correct, then, you need to update your vivado project with production board, generate dsa, create new platform project in SDSoC.

Then update the platform in your existing project. 

I consulted this with expert here, ideally it will work on both.

However, we do our testing only on production platforms.

Best Regards,

Hi @nutang

I updated my vivado project so as to target the zcu102 production board. Here is the error I have when running the synthesis:

[Vivado 12-3761] PATHTOVIVADOPROJECT/zcu102_es2_rv_ss/zcu102_es2_rv_ss.srcs/sources_1/bd/zcu102_es2_rv_ss/ip/zcu102_es2_rv_ss_v_proc_ss_csc_0/bd_0/ip/ip_0/bd_ca42_csc_0.xci: Synthesis target needs to be generated before calling compile_c.

I use Vivado 2017.4

Could you please help me?

Thanks,

Hi @alexandre.willeme

It is recommended to use same Vivado version that of SDK and SDx

Please let me know if you are using same version for all tools.

Hi @alexandre.willeme

Did you create your own platform before in SDSoC for ES2? 

[alexandre.willeme]

Hi @nutang,

Thanks for your answer. Yes I use the same version for all tools.

Finally, I decided to start from the original reVision project for ZCU 102 production and to add my custom IP inside it. I hope it will work.
