Building the Design

The next step is to package the Linux system and run it on the VCK190 board. To package the Linux system for hardware with a single command, run the following command:

make all

Running the System

For the hardware build, the –-package command creates an sd_card.img file, which contains the contents of the sd_card/ folder. Copy the sd_card.img file onto an SD card. This becomes the boot device of your system. Perform the following steps to run the test_bf_app.exe executable on the VCK190 board.

1. Ensure that your board is powered off.
2. Use an SD card writer (such as balenaEtcher) to flash the sd_card.img file to an SD card.
3. Plug the flashed SD card into the top slot of the VCK190 board.
4. Set the switch SW1 Mode[3:0]=1110 = OFF OFF OFF ON.
5. Connect your computer to the VCK190 board using the included USB cable.
6. Open a TeraTerm terminal and select the correct COM port. Set the port settings to the following:

Port: <COMMXX>
Speed: 115200
Data: 8 bit
Parity: none
Stop Bits: 1 bit
Flow control: none
Transmit delay: 0 msec/char 0 msec/line

7. Power on the board.
8. Wait until you see the root@versal-rootfs-common-2024_1 Linux command prompt. Press enter a few times to get past any xinit errors.
9. Run the following commands into the TeraTerm terminal:

cd /mnt/sd-mmcblk0p1
./test_bf_app.exe 0 aie.xclbin

The test_bf_app.exe should execute functional and performance tests. At the end of the application, the following final output is generated:

[ULBF] Read first 4 iterations of Slave-11 errCount:0...
[DLBF+ULBF] - ***** TEST PASSED *****
 ***** END TEST *****
