The ZynqMP based processing system (PS) that contains ARM cores and Xilinx programmable logic (PL/FPGA) in a single device. The PS and PL can be tightly or loosely coupled using multiple interfaces and other signals.
This enables the designer to effectively integrate user-created hardware accelerators and other functions in the PL logic that are accessible to the processors and can also access memory resources in the PS.
https://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/user_guides/ug1085-zynq-ultrascale-trm.pdf (Page No: 1085)
To Program/Re-Program the PL at runtime in Linux we have a an FPGA Manger Framework and this frame work uses DT-Overlays to programming the FPGA and probing the relevant PL drivers.
For more info please refer this link: https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/fpga/fpga-region.txt
Every Zynq/ZynqMP PL(FPGA) design has its own PS-PL configuration. So after programming the FPGA and before probing the relevant PL drivers these PS-PL configurations should be set.
Example DT-Overlay file to program the PL(FPGA) from Linux:
/dts-v1/;
/plugin/;
/ {
fragment@0 { /* fragment 0 contains Bitstream info */
target = <&fpga_full>;
overlay0: __overlay__ {
#address-cells = <2>;
#size-cells = <2>;
firmware-name = "Base_Zynq_MPSoC_wrapper.bit.bin";
resets = <&zynqmp_reset 116>;
};
};
fragment@1 { /* fragment 1 contains PS-PL configurations */
target = <&amba>;
overlay1: __overlay__ {
afi0: afi0 {
compatible = "xlnx,afi-fpga";
config-afi = < 0 0>, <1 0>, <2 0>, <3 0>, <4 0>, <5 0>, <6 0>, <7 0>, <8 0>, <9 0>, <10 0>, <11 0>, <12 0>, <13 0>, <14 0xa00>, <15 0x000>;
};
};
};
fragment@2 { /* Fragment 2 contains the relevant drivers for the IP's present in the FPGA design*/
target = <&amba>;
overlay2: __overlay__ {
axi_gpio_0: gpio@...00000 {
#gpio-cells = <2>;
clock-names = "s_axi_aclk";
clocks = <&zynqmp_clk 71>;
compatible = "xlnx,xps-gpio-1.00.a";
gpio-controller ;
reg = <0x0 0xa0000000 0x0 0x1000>;
};
};
} ;
};
In-order to support the PL(FPGA) programming and to configure the interface between PS and PL using FPGA Manager. This Driver is needed in the kernel space.
@Moritz Fischer: Can you please let us know your thoughts on this.
