VC707 and FPGA Drive SSD can't see console logs during the petalinux booting.

[kmakhno]

Hello, we bought your FPGA Drive module and clone repo with project for Vivado 2018.2, but when I try to boot petalinux on vc707, I can't see any console logs. I've already see this issue https://github.com/fpgadeveloper/fpga-drive-aximm-pcie/issues/1#issue-239293179 but for me it's not working. But in qemu it works well. When I create simple project with microblaze and all prerequisites for petalinux I can boot linux and see console logs. May you have any suggestion to solve my problem? Also I did all steps from this article https://www.fpgadeveloper.com/2016/04/connecting-an-ssd-to-an-fpga-running-petalinux.html/ but it also didn't work for me.

Did you try to boot the standalone application? Does it work? Here is the prebuilt standalone for VC707 HPC1: https://opsero.com/downloads/boot/2020-2/vc707_hpc1_pcie-standalone-2020-2.tar.gz Here is the prebuilt standalone for VC707 HPC2: https://opsero.com/downloads/boot/2020-2/vc707_hpc2_pcie-standalone-2020-2.tar.gz

Did you try the latest version (Vivado 2020.2)?

I suggest you try to create a simple standalone project in Vitis using the Vivado project from this repo. Try a simple hello world application and see if it works.

yes, I try to boot standalone app and it works. Our company is using vivado2018.2 for now( I thought that it should work.

Also I did DRAM memory check and I have linked up pcie with standalone exam

Sometimes we have issues on older versions and they don't end up getting fixed. Please try booting one of these PetaLinux builds for 2020.2 [Uploading v vc707-hpc2.zip c707-hpc1.zip…]()

. They are .mcs files for booting from flash.

thanks for reply, I booted your configuration file but I've got this exception

[fpgadeveloper]

Strange. Are you using FPGA Drive FMC? What is the serial number?

[kmakhno]

yes. I don't know what exactly serial number is)

[fpgadeveloper]

That's OK I can see the serial number in your first photo.

Can you try booting PetaLinux from JTAG with these prebuilt files for 2020.2 and 2019.2: https://opsero.com/downloads/boot/2020-2/vc707_hpc1_pcie-petalinux-2020-2.tar.gz https://opsero.com/downloads/boot/2020-2/vc707_hpc2_pcie-petalinux-2020-2.tar.gz https://opsero.com/downloads/boot/2019-2/vc707_hpc1_pcie-petalinux-2019-2.tar.gz https://opsero.com/downloads/boot/2019-2/vc707_hpc2_pcie-petalinux-2019-2.tar.gz

To boot them, use XSCT and these commands:

  connect
  fpga -f system.bit
  target 3
  dow image.elf
  con

It will take a while to load the image.elf file because it is large. It will also take a couple minutes before you start seeing the boot log. Please try the 2020.2 version first and then the 2019.2 if that fails.

hi, I tried it. At first I tried 2020 files and they gave me this logs And I waited for some time but didn't get some logs Then I tried 2019 files and I had the same situation as with 2018. After approximately 15 minutes I didn't get logs.
