about tools

[erasmooth]

Hi,

I'm researching using ReconOS as test platform.

I want to check out on FPGA tools required.

I know two Xilinx tools needed - ISE and EDK.

Is it perfectly OK to do with ISE Webpack? 

Is it required to have Partial Reconfiguration tool in ISE? It's not for free.

Is it possible to use ISE window version without modifying ReconOS code or something?

Thank you

Hi,

welcome to the ReconOS mailing list and thank you for your interest.

You need the Xilinx Platform Studio (EDK) to implement the hardware design and the compilers included in the Xilinx SDK for your software. Dependent on your target FPGA, the "WebPACK" license might be not sufficient, since it is locked to the three smallest Zynq devices Zynq-7000 EPP Z7010, Z7020, Z7030. The partial reconfiguration license is of course not necessary for a static design, only if you want to utilize partial reconfiguration features.

Regarding your last question, i think you refer to Windows as a development platform? Unfortunately, only Linux is officially supported. While the Xilinx tools itself and the ReconOS hardware designs should work on windows perfectly fine, the ReconOS toolchain is not designed for Windows, but might work under cygwin. Furthermore, all tutorials are targeting Linux. Therefore, i would suggest to stay with Linux. If you refer to the GUI instead of a command line interface, this of course works without any modifications.

If you have any questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask. You are welcome.

Yours,
Christoph Rüthing

Hi,

I'm now stuck in the very first steps ;;;

When I follow your getting started tutorial, on U-BOOT compiling(make zynq_zed) I got this error messages.

scripts/kconfig/conf --silentoldconfig Kconfig
scripts/kconfig/conf --silentoldconfig Kconfig
  CHK     include/config.h
  UPD     include/config.h
  GEN     include/autoconf.mk
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-mno-unaligned-access’
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-mfpu=neon’
make[2]: *** [include/autoconf.mk] Error 1
make[1]: *** [silentoldconfig] Error 1
make: *** No rule to make target `zynq_zed'.  Stop.

I think the right images are installed. And I made ".config file" by "make zynq_zed_defconfig"

I'm using Ubuntu 14, also got almost same thing with Centos 6

Could you help me out of this problem?

I think the problem got solved.

I miss-checked git tag version.

Sounds great, i was just about to try to reproduce your error. Good look with the next steps :)
