VC709 V1.0, cannot flash BPI, Vivado 2016.1 ==> Xilinx specialist needed

[jesko]

Hello,

I am not able to flash the board. This is needed as I want to place it into a PC unsing its PCI interface. At first I wanted to test general functionality with the TRD demo design and it looks, like that was not on the flash.

So - no problem. We have the design files also and .tcl scripts to do the flashing ... but: they all fail with erase errors.

Then I used the GUI and got similar results....

Before I forget to mention: The SW2 is set to '00000000' and SW11 to '00010' as everywhere described.

Then I modified the Flash type as different versions of the board have different types. Still no luck ...

I believe (from chip imprints) that I have a "00AG18F" which should be the alias of "mt28gu01gaax1e-bpi-x16"

Here is the link to the design files: https://secure.xilinx.com/webreg/clickthrough.do?cid=373411

I add the output of Vivado below.

ANY help is welcome and really appreciated!

Thanks!

@jesko Can you please follow debug guidelines given in the below AR?

[jesko]

Hi Pratham,

was on a business trip without the board ...

I have tried various things. At least I tried the Multi-Boot.

http://xgoogle.xilinx.com/search?output=xml_no_dtd&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&client=xilinx&proxystylesheet=xilinx&site=Documentation&filter=0&num=10&sort=date:D:L:d1&getfields=%2a&show_dynamic_navigation=1&as_epq=VC709%20Multiboot%20Tutorial&as_occt=any&requ...

There is everything explained and I did as shown but still no luck.

From the "source vc709_program_bpi.tcl" command I get

Vivado%

Additionally I cannot see the flash device if I open the Vivado Hardware Manager and select "Open target/Auto connect" ...

SW11 seems to be correct "00010" ...

What can I do?

[dlisi_src]

I am seeing identical issues with a VC707 board and Vivado 2016.1. Same as @jesko I have all of the switches set to default.

When I try to use the GUI the flash fails to erase. When I try to use the BIST programming scripts I get:

Ironically I get more information if I try to use 2014.4 to do the programming.

Any updates to this thread?  I also am suddenly having Flash programming errors since installing 2016.1

Hi markzak,

I have an update for you ... not sure whether it helps you:

One year ago I experimented with the VC709 board and tried the BIST (BuildInSelfTest). There was a flash test integrated, which I tried.

My fault was to compile the test by myself and to debug it with the SDK. I tried out to debug the Flash-Test part and stopped in between.

The Flash test contains several parts:

1. Init
2. Lock device
3. Try to write
4. Success if write deny
5. Unlock device
6. write data
7. read data
8. verify data
9. compare, success if equal

I broke with the debugger at 3 or 4.

Then I did different things and forgot about this - meaning the device was still locked all the time.

Unfortunately: The state of the device cannot be changed back by the test anymore because the init (1) tries to write the device(!) to get the endianness of it (which fails, whereas the init itself fails) ...

I had to modify the BIST to ignore those errors during initialization and directly go to unlock device.

Then: it works pretty fine again until now - for me.

==> I already asked Xilinx to change the BIST code, don't know whether they do or not.
