Zybo-Z7-20-pcam-5c many include files missing

[qwaserdf]

Good morning.

I am trying to excute this demo project "Zybo-Z7-20-pcam-5c" (https://reference.digilentinc.com/learn/programmable-logic/tutorials/zybo-z7-pcam-5c-demo/start) following step by step the "Using Digilent Github Demo Projects" (https://reference.digilentinc.com/learn/programmable-logic/tutorials/github-demos/start), but when I import the projects to the workspace, I see some of the file give errors due to almost all include files (like xparameters.h)  are missing in the zip file downloaded, where the project is contained in.

Those kind of include files are generated automatically when I create the bsp for this hardware design. But I can't understand neither,  why if I do that (creating a new BSP from the .hdf exported from vivado), there are an error in the file /standalone_bsp_0/ps7_cortexa9_0/libsrc/ddynclk_v1_0/src/ddynclk_g.c

DDynClk_Config DDynClk_ConfigTable[XPAR_DDYNCLK_NUM_INSTANCES] = // Error XPAR_DDYNCLK_NUM_INSTANCES undeclared

Also I found this answer from Xilinx AR# 34804 (https://www.xilinx.com/support/answers/34804.html) where they say that if I right-clicked in the projeck I should be able to change the reference BSP. But actually I am not.

My OS is windows 10, in case it is usefull.

Thank you for your help. Best regards.

@qwaserdf, you are wrongly assuming that Vivado 2016.4 without SDK installed will work with SDK 2018.1. Because it does not, Vivado is giving you an error during project creation: "couldn't execute xsct...". Since that fails, you are left with an old hardware handoff (.hdf) in the sdk workspace. You are importing the same old hdf when creating a new hardware platform in the workspace. That explains why it is looking for an nonexistent DDYNCLK variable, which is for an IP that does not exist in the hardware project anymore. The rest of the SDK errors are due to the wrong SDK version.

You can try importing the hdf from hw_handoff instead and go through with manually re-creating the BSP for 2018, but do yourself a favor and install SDK 2016.4 instead.

Hi @qwaserdf,

What is the path for the project? Does it have any spaces in the path name? Where do you have the project folder i.e. desktop, downloads... What version of vivado are you using?

thank you,

Jon

[qwaserdf]

Thank you Jpeyron.

The path to the project D://vivado_projects/Pcam/(and then what is uncompressed from the .zip)

 

Vivado , I've tried with vivado 2018 and vivado 2016.4. SDK  only 2018.

This is the repository. Shoudln't it include those kind of files?? When I create a project, xparameters.h usually is in the bsp directory.

 

Best regards.

Hi @qwaserdf,

Vivado projects are version specific. To use this project in 2016.4  make sure to follow this tutorial. If you are experiencing these sdk errors then right click into the pcam_vdma_hdmi_bsp and regenerate the bsp. If this does not work then delete the pcam_vdma_hdmi_bsp and  create a new board support package with the same name pcam_vdma_hdmi_bsp with the original bsp settings. 

thank you,

Jon

Good night Jpeyron.

 

If I try to just open the  pcam_vdma_hdmi_bsp from the unzip folder I get this errors:

When I try to create it from scratch I got this

What actually I see is the same error, "Core cpu_cortexa9 of version 2.3 not found in repositories" how can I get those all need files in the repositories??

I just want to remind that I am strickly following the steps marked in "https://reference.digilentinc.com/learn/programmable-logic/tutorials/github-demos/start".

 

Thank you very much for your time.

Hi @qwaserdf,

 What version of vivado/sdk are you using? Did you try re-generating the bsp? Can you attach a screen shot of your sdk?

thank you,

 

[qwaserdf]

I attached some images showing the process. I this example I open the projects, but I have also tried importing it instead, as the tutorial says. The error was the same.

 

Now I will upload also screenshots importing the project from Vivado, but it will take a while untill I have them all.

[qwaserdf]

Now I have the pictures of the errrors exporting the hardware from vivado and including the bitstream.

 

[qwaserdf]

That was. Now I don't get anything from the cam, but I hope being able to achieve it before asking again.

 

Best regards.
