Description

This tutorial is a quick guide for building the WISER Zynq-based firmware.

Getting the FPGA source code

  • If using a Windows machine, create a folder D:/Repository/crkit_svn
  • Checkout the source code from the SVN repository ​http://crkit.orbit-lab.org/svn/crkit
  • crkit_svn/design/trunk/vivado_build/crkit_spec_sense.zip is the spectrum sensing application build. Uncompress the zip file to D:/hw/crkit_zd folder.

Building the FPGA design

  • Open crkit_zd.xpr, the Vivado project. The FPGA design consists of the CRKIT framework and the spectrum sensing receive application (instantiated as u_app_rx_bd). All the files here, point to the source files in the repository D:/Repository/crkit_svn. In case the source files are located elsewhere, they will have to be added to the project.
  • Edit the code as needed, synthesize, implement and generate the bit stream.

Building ARM core software

  • Launch Xilinx SDK and select the crkit_zd workspace from the above project
  • The workspace has the imported hardware platform, a board support package and 3 projects
    1. memory_test - A memory test application to test the memory ranges in the hardware design.
    2. test_adi_lib - library of no-OS drivers for the RF card - ADFMCOMMS1.
    3. ethfmcomms1 - the spectrum sensing software which sets up and controls the framework, the RF front end (using test_adi_lib), and the spectrum sensing application.
  • Edit the source and obtain .elf file by building the project.
