Old lab Tutorials (not completely updated):
Note: To update the designs from EDK 7.1, you would need to modify the
repository path ("ModuleSearchPath") in system.xmp for the local copy of the
EDK Board Definition File (.xbd), Pcores, & Drivers before you
open/upgrade the design in XPS if you have created a repository in
your home directory.
Also Note: Upgrading will fail without a descriptive message if
any of the files that need to be modified during the upgrade (such as MHS,
MSS, XMP, and linker script files) are read-only. This is sometimes the
case for zip archives distributed by Xilinx. Remember, you can
change the editting properties of a file using the chmod command.
Remember these updated designs have a repository path that must be
changed before compiling via "Project->Project Options..." as it's not
valid for you.
Also, the DDR controllers in these modules are deprecated (being
phased out of use). However, the new controller isn't backwards-compatible.
Therefore, the old DDR controller has not been updated, but it should be
updated. Please email me when any of you successfully update one
of the designs with a DDR controller. Then I can take your updated and
post it as the reference design.
Finally, these designs will build, but I don't know if they will work. That will be up to you.
