基于FPGA Manager的Zynq PL程序写入方案

本文主要描述了如何在Linux系统启动以后，在线将bitstream文件更新到ZYNQ PL的过程及方法。相关内容主要译自xilinx-wiki，其中官网给出了两种方法，分别为Device Tree Overlay和Sysfs interface。由于项目需要，暂只对sysfs interface在线烧录的执行过程作简要介绍和实践，并附有相关的配置脚本文件，更多详情请参照Solution Zynq PL Programming With FPGA Manager。

内核配置

为保证FPGA Manager可正常使用，需要按图中配置内核相关选项。（在zynq_defconfig里面，这些选项是默认使能的）

配置 Zynq FPGA Manager：

选择：Device Drivers ---> FPGA Configuration Framework

配置Contiguous Memory Allocator：

CONFIG_CMA

Kernel Features --> Contiguous Memory Allocator

CONFIG_DMA_CMA

Select: Device Drivers --> Generic Driver Options → DMA Contiguous Memory Allocator

工具准备

• bootgen

映像文件准备

• FSBL
• u-boot
• Linux内核映像（uImage)
• 该映像可参考http://www.wiki.xilinx.com/Zynq+Linux创建
• Bin文件

使用Bootgen工具，将.bit文件转换成.bin文件

bootgen -image Full_Bitstream.bif -arch zynq -process_bitstream bin

其中，Full_Bitstream.bif文件应包含下列内容

all:
{
        design_1_wrapper.bit /* Bitstream file name */
}

执行过程

设置flags为Full Bitstream模式

echo 0 > /sys/class/fpga_manager/fpga0/flags

通过sysfs提供的接口，下载Bitstream文件到PL

mkdir -p /lib/firmware
cp /media/design_1_wrapper.bit.bin /lib/firmware/
echo design_1_wrapper.bit.bin > /sys/class/fpga_manager/fpga0/firmware

正常输出如下：

参考脚本

为便于项目使用，笔者将上述过程形成以下两个脚本，其中makebitbin.sh可将.bit文件转换为.bin文件，具体使用方法为：

注意，该脚本执行前需要配置好Bootgen工具才可以正常使用！

脚本如下：

NAME
        $(basename ${BASH_SOURCE}) - generating .bin from .bit file using Bootgen

SYNOPSIS
        $(basename ${BASH_SOURCE}) [option] filename

DESCRIPTION
        In order to load bitstream files to PL through Linux, we need to get one
        type of file with suffix like '.bit.bin'. Run this script and .bin will
        be generated with the given file(.bit) using Bootgen.
        Please run this script in PC.

makebitbin.sh

另一个脚本为load-fpga-image.sh，该脚本应在开发板上运行，具体使用方法为：

将load-fpga-image.sh脚本和上一步生成的blinkblink.bit.bin文件共同copy至开发板的同一目录下，然后按以下方法执行脚本：

./load-fpga-image.sh blinkblink.bit.bin

即可，参考脚本如下：

NAME

SYNOPSIS
        $(basename ${BASH_SOURCE}) [option] bitstream_file

DESCRIPTION
        Load bitstream file to PL using sysfs interface through Linux.
        Be careful the type of bitstream_file is .bit.bin file which is generated
        by Bootgen and bitstream_file should be in the same path with the script.
        Please run this script on the board!
