xilinx-zynq
===========
This BSP supports the Xilinx Zynq range of devices. This family of
devices contain the same ARM hard IP and the different parts have
different sizes of programable logic.
The BSP defaults may need to be adjusted using ``configure`` BSP
options to match the size of memory your board may have.
Bootloader
----------
The bootloader initialises the Zynq device. The Xilinx tool provide an
interface to configure the hardware. This is includes the buses,
clocks, memory and UART board rate. The output of this is called
``ps7_init`` and it a C file. The Xilinx SDK builds a first stage boot
loader (FSBL) using this file.
The U-Boot boot loader has it's own FSBL called ``MLO`` to initialise
the hardware.
Clocks
------
An application can provide a function called:
.. code-block:: none
uint32_t a9mpcore_clock_periphclk(void);
to return the peripheral clock. Normally this is half the CPU
clock. This function is declared ``weak`` so you can override the
default behaviour by providing it in your application.
Debugging with xilinx_zynq_a9_qemu
----------------------------------
To debug an application add the QEMU options ``-s``. If you need to
debug an initialisation issue also add ``-S``. For example to debug a
networking application you could use:
.. code-block:: none
qemu-system-arm -M xilinx-zynq-a9 -m 256M -no-reboot -serial \
null -serial mon:stdio -nographic \
-net nic,model=cadence_gem -net vde,id=vde0,sock=/tmp/vde1 \
-kernel myapp.exe \
-s -S
Start GDB with the same executable QEMU is running and connect to the
QEMU GDB server:
.. code-block:: none
(gdb) target remote :1234
If your application is crashing set a breakpoint on the fatal error
handler:
.. code-block:: none
(gdb) b bsp_fatal_extension
Enter continue to run the application. Running QEMU loads the
executable and initialises the CPU. If the ``-S`` option is provided
the CPU is held in reset. Without the option the CPU runs starting
RTEMS. Either way you are connecting to set up target and all you need
to do is continue:
.. code-block:: none
(gdb) c
If you have a crash and the breakpoint on ``bsp_fatal_extension`` is
hit, load the following a GDB script:
.. code-block:: none
define arm-crash
set $code = $arg0
set $r0 = ((const rtems_exception_frame *) $code)->register_r0
set $r1 = ((const rtems_exception_frame *) $code)->register_r1
set $r2 = ((const rtems_exception_frame *) $code)->register_r2
set $r3 = ((const rtems_exception_frame *) $code)->register_r3
set $r4 = ((const rtems_exception_frame *) $code)->register_r4
set $r5 = ((const rtems_exception_frame *) $code)->register_r5
set $r6 = ((const rtems_exception_frame *) $code)->register_r6
set $r7 = ((const rtems_exception_frame *) $code)->register_r7
set $r8 = ((const rtems_exception_frame *) $code)->register_r8
set $r9 = ((const rtems_exception_frame *) $code)->register_r9
set $r10 = ((const rtems_exception_frame *) $code)->register_r10
set $r11 = ((const rtems_exception_frame *) $code)->register_r11
set $r12 = ((const rtems_exception_frame *) $code)->register_r12
set $sp = ((const rtems_exception_frame *) $code)->register_sp
set $lr = ((const rtems_exception_frame *) $code)->register_lr
set $pc = ((const rtems_exception_frame *) $code)->register_pc
set $cpsr = ((const rtems_exception_frame *) $code)->register_cpsr
end
Enter the command:
.. code-block:: none
(gdb) arm-crash code
Enter ``bt`` to see the stack back trace.
The script moves the context back to the crash location. You should be
able to view variables and inspect the stack.
The fatal error handler runs inside an exception context that is not
the one than generated the exception.
