    Hi

    I have tried out your zImage and able to run the led application successfully.

    Please find the screenshot below:

    Did you flash the FPGA configuration before booting into the linux environment?

    As for the fitter error, you will need to run both of the TCL script below (located:soc_system\synthesis\submodules):

    hps_sdram_p0_parameters.tcl

    hps_sdram_p0_pin_assignments.tcl

    Regards

    Jingyang, Teh

Hi Snehal_p


I managed to create a setup over here.

However I do not see the problem that you are experiencing.


The changes that you make is to the Kernel Image right?

Could you share me your zImage file that you are working on?

I tried using the latest zImage from the CycloneV GHRD and the application is able to blink on my end.


Could you test out the devmem command again?

  1. Try reading the sysID from the FPGA. Expected result from this is you will get a value of "0xACD51302"
    1. "devmem 0xff210000"
  2. Try turning on the led manually. Expected result all LED0:7 will turn on.
    1. "devmem 0xff210008 16 0xFF"
  3. Try turning off the led manually. Expected result all LED0:7 will turn off.
    1. "devmem 0xff210008 16 0x00"

Jingyang,Teh
