The following figure shows how to set up the VCK190 evaluation board.
Board jumper and switch settings
This is a onetime setup and the board should have been delivered to you with this default settings, but it is good to double check for the first time when you get the board.
Make sure you remove J326 (7-8) jumper.
Setup SYSCTRL Boot mode switch SW11 to (ON,OFF,OFF,OFF) from switch bits 1 to 4 as shown in the above picture.
Make sure you have the SYSCTRL uSD card inserted in the slot and card has the SYSCTRL image.
Setup Versal Boot Mode switch SW1 to (ON,OFF,OFF,OFF) from switch bits 1 to 4 as shown in the above picture.
MIPI and HDMI connections
Make the connections based on the SD Image selected.
vck190_mipiRxSingle_hdmiTx supports video capture from the Leopard IMX274 MIPI FMC, connect the FMC card to the FMCP1 slot (J51) as shown in the above figure. For more info on the FMC module, visit: https://www.leopardimaging.com/uploads/LI-IMX274MIPI-FMC_datasheet.pdf
vck190_mipiRxQuad_hdmiTx supports video capture from Avnet Multi-Camera MIPI FMC Module. Connect the FMC card to the FMCP2 slot (J53) as shown in the above figure. For more info on the FMC module, visit: https://www.avnet.com/wps/portal/silica/products/new-products/npi/2018/avnet-multi-camera-fmc-module/
vck190_hdmiRx_hdmiTx supports video capture via HDMI RX. Connect the HDMI cable as shown in the above figure. Connect the other end of the cable to a HDMI source like a laptop or Nvidia Shield or Roku
Serial console settings
VCK190 comes with a USB-C connector for JTAG+UART, when connected three UART ports should be visible in Device Manager:
Versal UART0
Versal UART1 &
System Controller UART
Connect a USB-C cable to the USB-UART connector. Open two terminal emulator windows. Choose Versal UART0 on one and System Controller UART on the other and use the following settings on the Serial Port:
Baud Rate: 115200
Data: 8 bit
Parity: None
Stop: 1 bit
Flow Control: None
Vadj settings
Perform the following steps to set the Vadj voltage rail to 1.2V using the BoardUI/Board Interface Test(BIT) utility:
Note: This is required only if using MIPI Single or Quad sensors.
Power on the board.
On the System Controller UART terminal type the following commands at the linux prompt. This will allow the BoardUI/Board Interaface Test utility to communicate with the System Controller. For more information refer to http://wiki.xilinx.com/BEAM+Tool+for+VCK190+Evaluation+Kit
EXT<Enter key><Tab Key> sed -i -e 's/^#//' /etc/init.d/start_boardframework.sh /etc/init.d/start_boardframework.sh
Close the System Controller UART terminal
Download the BoardUI/Board Interface Test(BIT) tool from the following link:
Extract the zip file and start the BoardUI/Board Interface Test(BIT) tool by clicking on BoardUI.exe. Make sure the USB-C cable is connected to your PC and the system controller Micro SD card is inserted. Also make sure you Vivado Design Suite HW Manager is installed on the host machine.
In the BoardUI GUI, navigate to the FMC Boot Up tab following the red circles as shown in the below figure. Enter 1.2 in the Set On-Boot VADJ field and click the button next to it to save the value.
Power-cycle the board and navigate to the FMC Current tab. Click the Get VADJ_FMC Voltage button to read out the current voltage setting and confirm it matches the 1.2V set in the previous step.
Close the BoardUI utility.
Note
If Vadj does not persists after reboot, try updating the System Controller SD card image (Instructions provided in the System Controller section of this tutorial).
First Boot
Follow these steps to boot the board into Linux
Ensure all steps under the section Board Setup are verified.
Insert the prepared micro SD card into the Versal SD card slot (refer to the image in Reference Design SD Card Creation)
Have the UART0 terminal emulator tab connected.
Turn ON power switch SW13.
On Versal UART0 terminal, you would see the Versal device booting from the micro SD card, starting with the message “Xilinx Versal Platform Loader and Manager”
In about 60 seconds boot is complete. Observe the Linux prompt to login and set a new password as shown below. Use ‘petalinux’ as login name and set an easy password that you do not forget. Use this password when you boot again or when using sudo.
