ZYNQ TCP CONTROL

Overview

This project provides TCP-based control utilities for ZYNQ FPGA boards, enabling remote bitstream loading and memory IO.

See examples led_blink.py and reserved_mem.py

Installation

This library requires both remote & local installation.

Remote

• Open terminal window

• Transfer zynq_tcp_ctrl_remote directory to your ZYNQ FPGA (see note below)

  scp -r zynq_tcp_ctrl_remote <user>@<ip-addr>:
  

• SSH into your ZYNQ FPGA (see note below)

  ssh <user>@<ip-addr>
  

• Run makefile within SSH session

  cd zynq_tcp_ctrl_remote
  make all
  

• (OPTIONAL) Check service status:

  systemctl status zynq_tcp_ctrl_server.service
  

Note

Default credentials for SSH and SCP on Red Pitaya boards:

user	password
root	root

Local

• Open a terminal window
• Navigate to zynq_tcp_ctr_local/zynq_tcp_ctrl

  cd zynq_tcp_ctrl_local/zynq_tcp_ctrl/
  

• Install on your PC the zynq_tcp_ctrl python library

  pip3 install .
  

Running Example Scripts (Redpitaya-125-14)

• Run the led_blink.py and reserved_mem.py examples on your Redpitaya-125-14:

  cd examples_redpitaya-125-14
  python3 led_blink.py
  python3 reserved_mem.py
