loadBitstream

Load custom FPGA bitstream and its corresponding DTB file to target SoC device

Description

loadBitstream(BoardName,FPGAImage,DeviceTree)loads the custom FPGA bitstream and its corresponding device tree blob (DTB) file of the specified board to the targeted SoC device by using Ethernet.

loadBitstream(BoardName,FPGAImage,DeviceTree,Name,Value)specifies options using one or more name-value pair arguments. For example,'Gateway','192.168.0.4'sets the gateway for the network interface.

Input Arguments

collapse all

Targeted SoC board name, specified as one of these values.

  • 'ZedBoard'– Xilinx®Zynq®ZedBoard™

  • 'ZC706'– Xilinx Zynq-7000 ZC706

Data Types:char|string

Custom FPGA bitstream file to be loaded onto the target board, specified as a character vector or string scalar.

Example:'C:\mywork\hdlv_bitstreams\system.bit'

Data Types:char|string

Custom DTB file to be loaded onto the target board, specified as a character vector or string scalar.

Example:'C:\mywork\hdlv_bitstreams\devicetree.dtb'

Data Types:char|string

Name-Value Pair Arguments

Specify optional comma-separated pairs ofName,Valuearguments.Nameis the argument name andValueis the corresponding value.Namemust appear inside quotes. You can specify several name and value pair arguments in any order asName1,Value1,...,NameN,ValueN.

Example:loadBitstream('ZC706','C:\mywork\hdlv_bitstreams\system.bit','C:\mywork\hdlv_bitstreams\devicetree.dtb');

Specify the Internet Protocol (IP) Address of the target SoC device.

Use this argument to configure a non-default address while using thecopyImageToHostSDCardPathcommand.

Example:'DeviceAddress', '192.168.0.8'
