As the hardware platform is created from part support example design, it’s recommended to test the device image (PDI) on hardware to make sure the device initialization configuration is set correctly as well. This is not a required step for platform creation, but it can reduce issues you find in the last platform validation stage.
Show Detailed Steps of how to download the PDI file
Connect hardware server in XSCT
# If JTAG cable is connected locally connect # If JTAG cable is connected on another server, launch hw_server on that server then connect to that remote hardware server connect -url TCP:<SERVER NAME or IP>:3121
Download PDI in XSCT
device program <PDI file>
PDI program should download without errors. If any error occurs in XSCT console, please check block design settings.
Here’s the sample prints on UART console of VCK190 board
