This section provides information on the
mechanism and infrastructure required to work with custom IPs that are readily
(hand-stitched) available dtsi files instead of relying on the XSA to generate them when
the FPGA manager is enabled. This generates the dtbo and bin files and copies them into
the rootfs /lib/firmware/xilinx directory.
- Create the FPGA manager
template:
$ petalinux-create -t apps --template fpgamanager -n can-interface --enable INFO: Create apps: can-interface INFO: New apps successfully created in <plnx-proj-root>/project-spec/meta-user/recipes-apps/can-interface INFO: Enabling created component... INFO: sourcing build environment INFO: silentconfig rootfs INFO: can-interface has been enabled - Replace the default files with your own dtsi files. You can
generate dtsi files using the device tree
generator.
$ cp can.dtsi can.bit project-spec/meta-user/recipes-apps/can-interface/files/ - You can provide the dtsi and bit files when creating the fpgamanager
template application. Use
the
following command to create the application and copy the provided .dtsi and .bit
files to the application files
directory.
petalinux-create -t apps --template fpgamanager -n can-interface --srcuri "<path-to-dtsi>/pl.dtsi <path-to-bitfile>/system.bit" --enable INFO: Create apps: can-interface INFO: Copying source urls into the project directory INFO: New apps successfully created in <plnx-proj-root>/project-spec/meta-user/recipes-apps/can-interface1 INFO: Enabling created component... INFO: Sourcing build environment INFO: Silentconfig rootfs INFO: can-interface has been enabled - Build the
application:
$ petalinux-build - Check the target for dtbo and .bin
files:
$ ls /lib/firmware/xilinx/can-interface/ pl.dtbo system.bit.bin
Note: You can modify the FPGA manager template recipe at <project-root-dir>/project-spec/meta-user/recipes-apps/can-interface/can-interface.bb.
