I have the Arty A7-100T and have successfully built and run a project using the PMOD RTCC module, which uses the I2C interface. I modified the project to use the I2C pins on connector J3 of the Arty and enabled the pullup resistors. I wired the SCL & SDA pins to the PMOD RTCC and all is good. It runs the same as if connected to the PMOD connector. So now I am trying to build my project without using the I2C defined port that is in the board definition files. I want to connect directly to the 6 control and data lines that make up the I2C port on the AXI IIC IP and I want to be able to use any of the available I/O pins on the board for SCL & SDA (I realize that I will need external pullup resistors unless the internal pullups available in the FPGA are sufficient). The problem I am having is that I get failures during synthesis that seem to not like me trying to use bi-directional tristate pins for SCL and SDA. I have a Verilog file that I am using for the bi-directional tristate control: module tristate(IO_Data, Tx_Data, Rx_Data, Tri_En); inout IO_Data; // bidirectional data line input Tx_Data; output Rx_Data; input Tri_En; assign IO_Data = Tri_En? 1'bz:Tx_Data; assign Rx_Data = IO_Data; endmodule This is what it looks like wired up: These are the constraints on the 2 pins: set_property PACKAGE_PIN L18 [get_ports scl] set_property IOSTANDARD LVCMOS33 [get_ports scl] set_property PACKAGE_PIN M18 [get_ports sda] set_property IOSTANDARD LVCMOS33 [get_ports sda] This is the type of error I get: [Designutils 20-1595] In entity system_tristate_0_1, connectivity of net IO_Data cannot be represented in VHDL. VHDL lacks syntax to connect the following inout terminals to a differently-named net: inout IO_Data Resolution: Check whether terminals really need inout direction and substitute input or output as needed. It may also be possible to rename the net to match the terminal. My questions are: 1) Should I be able to connect I2C in this manner without having the port defined in a board definition file? 2) If so, any suggestions to correct my design or how to eliminate the errors I'm seeing? 3) Is there a tristate buffer primitive or IP that I should be able to use here (I cannot find one, which is why I attempted to create my own here)? 4) The PMOD RTCC module does not have pullup resistors on SCL & SDA. When using it with the PMOD connector and the board definition files it works. Are the internal FPGA pullup resistors enabled somewhere? I could not find that anywhere in the PMOD definition files or the Arty board definition files.

Hello All, I am having an issue with running the Master Polled example on I2C with the zynq. I have a base design that is set up and runs the self test and repeated start examples and completes them. My issue is that I hooked up an I2C sensor, added pullup resistors, and it is failing. The only thing I have changed in SDK is that I have found the address of my I2C sensor, 0x57, and put it in place of 0x55. I can place my block design and what not here for referencing. Update - I have assigned I2C pins to W19 and W20 to SCL and SDA respectively.

Hi all, New to the FPGA world as I was tasked a project to help familiarize myself with the programming and function of how FPGAs work. As you can all infer, I am in need of some help on a specific project that I am doing. I am using a ZYBO Zynq 7000 development board, and Vivado 2019.1. What I am trying to do is control an external sensor, or LED through some user interface. I have seen a lot of tutorials that use the on-board LEDs, and if you press a button, it displays that value in binary in a command terminal. My task that I was to do is be able to turn on and off an external LED connected to the ZYBO through the command terminal. It seems I can connect a simple circuit with a LED and a resistor to the PMOD pins that are power and ground. What the command terminal would let me do is then essentially cut power to that pin, therefore turning the LED off. Please let me know if this is probable, and/or how I should task to complete it. Thanks, Russell

Hello, I am trying to initialize the ADV7611 Chip of the Digilent FMC-HDMI add-on Board. But I can't find the needed addresses for it (this doesn't help). I am using the xiic.h Driver from xilinx. The initalization of ADV7511 Chip of the zc702 was successfully. Have anyone a idea?? I am using the zc702 and the digilent FMC-HDMI Card.

Hi, I have the Zybo Zynq 7000 board (Z-7010). I also have a Ti Msp430G2 launchpad. I need the Zybo to be the Master I2c , send request data from the Ti Chip. In Zybo i'm Using the I2c_0 Built in controller on the ps, i've tried the following Examples with no success(test failed Everytime): xiicps_polled_master_example.c xiicps_slave_monitor_example.c then i tried to to troubleshoot the problem, i'v used the xiicps_polled_slave_example.c and on the Ti Chip i used the wire library, as I2c Master and a c program that Scans Addresses - this works Therefor all the connections and vivado config are fine. How can find a working Master Program for zybo?

Hi, I have the Zybo Zynq 7000 board (Z-7010). I want to receive data from Multiple Devices via I2C protocol. In the PS there are 2 I2C Controllers. The Steps i made so far: 1) In vivado i created the ip : Zynq7 processing system. 2) i'v enables the I2C 0 controller and routed it to Emio. at this point i need 2 pins: clock and data, but instead i have 6 pins: where should i connect the pins? after Exploring this issue online i saw another option : using the Axi_IIc ip, With the same problem:
