1.Install the tools

Download '

ARM GNU TOOLS' from here : http://wiki.xilinx.com/zynq-tools

 

In 64-bit enviroment, some extra packages are needed: 

apt-get install ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk

 

Go ahead! Just 

sudo ./xilinx-2011.09-50-arm-xilinx-linux-gnueabi.bin

 

Set a proper install path and Enter all others with y(yes)!

 

Edit your bashrc: 

vi ~/.bashrc

Add the fllowing two lines at the end:

#For arm Xilinx tools

 

export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-xilinx-linux-gnueabi-

export PATH=$PATH:(the install_path you select just now)/bin/

 

 

2.Power the board

 

Maybe you can't help powering on the board!

Please insert the SD card,in which there is the image from xilinx ,into the ZED board,and ensure that the jumpers are set as follows:

 

MIO 6: set to GND

MIO 5: set to 3V3

MIO 4: set to 3V3

MIO 3: set to GND

MIO 2: set to GND

 

VADJ Select: Set to 1V8

 

JP6: shorted

JP2: shorted

 

All other jumpers should be left unshorted.

 

Ok! power on!

 

 

3.Connect the board to your PC

 

The ZedBoard has a on-board USB2UART, CY7C64225 from Cypress Co, with which ZED communicat with your PC through a mini-USB cable. So just follow the document <CY7C64225_Setup_Guide>.

 

 

4.Hello zed!!!

 

Edit your 'hello zed' in C and compile it, just like this:

arm-xilinx-linux-gnueabi-gcc -o hello hello.c

 

A good news is that you can transfer your hello to ZED with FTP but not the stupid tftp.

Ensure that 'ping 192.168.1.10' works well on your PC at first.

ftp 192.168.1.10

>put hello

 

The 'hello' is transfered to the root dir on ZED!

move it to usr: 

mv hello /usr/

make it executable:

chmod +x hello

run it:

 ./hello

 

and then, I get this pic~

 

a nice day~

 

I'll update all doc.&file mentioned above later.
