Dependencies

This layer depends on: xsct and other layers

xsct-tarball class fetches the required xsct tool and installs it in the local sysroots of Yocto build. All the recipes which depend xsct or bootgen will use from sysroots. Please see the Xilinx EULA license file for xsct after extracting the tarball.

Each release is dependent on the Xilinx XSCT release version. Please note that xsct tools may not be backward compatible with embeddedsw repo. Meaning 2016.3 xsct tools might not work with older version on embeddedsw repo

Hardware Configuration using XSA

meta-xilinx-tools recipes depends on XSA to be provided. As of the 2019.2 release, all design files were renamed from hdf to xsa. But the variables and references to hdf will remain and renamed in the future release.

HDF_BASE can be set to git:// or file://

HDF_PATH will be git repository or the path containing HDF

For example:

• Using GIT subversion

HDF_BASE = "git://"
HDF_PATH = "github.com/Xilinx/hdf-examples.git"
HDF_NAME = "system.xsa"
HDF_MACHINE = "zcu102-zynqmp"

• Using XSA file path

HDF_BASE = "file://"
HDF_PATH = "/<absolute-path-to-xsa>/system.xsa"

Additional configurations using YAML

This layer provides additional configurations through YAML

1. Example YAML based configuration for embeddedsw components(FSBL, PMUFW, etc.) uart, memory, flash settings. from machine or local confiruation file.

• FSBL or FS-BOOT

# Microblaze:
YAML_FILE_PATH:pn-fs-boot = "${WORKDIR}/fsboot.yaml"
YAML_SERIAL_CONSOLE_STDIN:microblaze-generic:pn-fs-boot = "axi_uartlite_0"
YAML_SERIAL_CONSOLE_STDOUT:microblaze-generic:pn-fs-boot = "axi_uartlite_0"

YAML_MAIN_MEMORY_CONFIG:microblaze-generic:pn-fs-boot = "mig_7series_0"
or
YAML_MAIN_MEMORY_CONFIG:microblaze-generic:pn-fs-boot = "DDR4_0"

YAML_FLASH_MEMORY_CONFIG:microblaze-generic:pn-fs-boot = "axi_quad_spi_0"

# Zynq-7000:
YAML_SERIAL_CONSOLE_STDIN:zynq-generic:pn-fsbl-firmware = "ps7_uart_1"
YAML_SERIAL_CONSOLE_STDOUT:zynq-generic:pn-fsbl-firmware = "ps7_uart_1"

# ZynqMP:
YAML_SERIAL_CONSOLE_STDIN:zynqmp-generic:pn-fsbl-firmware = "psu_uart_0"
YAML_SERIAL_CONSOLE_STDOUT:zynqmp-generic:pn-fsbl-firmware = "psu_uart_0"

• PMUFW or PLMFW

# ZynqMP:
YAML_SERIAL_CONSOLE_STDIN:zynqmp-generic:pn-pmu-firmware = "psu_uart_1"
YAML_SERIAL_CONSOLE_STDOUT:zynqmp-generic:pn-pmu-firmware = "psu_uart_1"

# Versal:
YAML_SERIAL_CONSOLE_STDIN:versal-generic:pn-plm-firmware = "versal_cips_0_pspmc_0_psv_sbsauart_0"
YAML_SERIAL_CONSOLE_STDOUT:versal-generic:pn-plm-firmware = "versal_cips_0_pspmc_0_psv_sbsauart_0"

2. Example YAML based configuration for device tree serial, baudrate, memeory settings.

# Microblaze:
YAML_CONSOLE_DEVICE_CONFIG:microblaze-generic:pn-device-tree = "axi_uartlite_0"

YAML_MAIN_MEMORY_CONFIG:microblaze-generic:pn-device-tree = "mig_7series_0"
or
YAML_MAIN_MEMORY_CONFIG:microblaze-generic:pn-device-tree = "DDR4_0"

# Zynq-7000:
YAML_CONSOLE_DEVICE_CONFIG:zynq-generic:pn-device-tree = "ps7_uart_1"
YAML_MAIN_MEMORY_CONFIG:zynq-generic:pn-device-tree = "PS7_DDR_0"
YAML_SERIAL_CONSOLE_BAUDRATE = "115200"

# ZynqMP:
YAML_CONSOLE_DEVICE_CONFIG:zynqmp-generic:pn-device-tree = "psu_uart_0"
YAML_MAIN_MEMORY_CONFIG:zynqmp-generic:pn-device-tree = "PSU_DDR_0"
YAML_SERIAL_CONSOLE_BAUDRATE = "115200"

# Versal:
YAML_CONSOLE_DEVICE_CONFIG:versal-generic:pn-device-tree = "versal_cips_0_pspmc_0_psv_sbsauart_0"
YAML_SERIAL_CONSOLE_BAUDRATE = "115200"

3. Example YAML based configuration for setting eval board specific dtsi files available in DTG repo. Refer https://github.com/Xilinx/device-tree-xlnx/tree/xlnx_rel_v2022.1/device_tree/data/kernel_dtsi/2022.1/BOARD for more details

# Microblaze:
YAML_DT_BOARD_FLAGS:microblaze-generic:pn-device-tree = {BOARD kc705-full}

# Zynq-7000:
YAML_DT_BOARD_FLAGS:zynq-generic:pn-device-tree = "{BOARD zc702}"

# ZynqMP:
YAML_DT_BOARD_FLAGS:zynqmp-generic:pn-device-tree = "{BOARD zcu102-rev1.0}"

# Versal:
YAML_DT_BOARD_FLAGS:versal-generic:pn-device-tree = "{BOARD versal-vck190-reva-x-ebm-01-reva}"

Note only Xilinx eval boards have the dtsi in DTG, for custom board one needs to patch DTG to include the custom board dtsi and enable it using YAML configuration.
