3.1.5.2 Programming the DLPC964 Controller

  1. Launch the Vivado Lab Solutions 2018.2 application. Once the application opens, select Open Hardware Manager from the main window.
    Note: Click the link above to download Vivado Lab Solutions 2018.2. Once the web page is loaded, find the archived 2018.2 folder and then navigate to the Vivado Lab Solutions 2018.2 downloadable link and download the installation.

  2. Once the Hardware Manager is open, check that the JTAG is connected to jumper J7 on the DLPLCRC964EVM board and that the port is connected to a PC. Once JTAG is properly connected, plug the 12V DC power supply into the barrel jack on the board and power on.
  3. Once JTAG is properly connected and the board is powered on, the next step is selecting the target device that is going to be programmed.
  4. In the Hardware Manager window, select Open Target > Auto Connect to find the target device being programmed.

  5. Once the target device is detected, the target device is going to be displayed in the bottom left corner, showing current status of device.

  7. Select the correct flash device that is connected to the FPGA device on the DLPLCRC964EVM board. Input the parameters below to select the correct flash device.
    Manufacturer = SpansionType = SPI
    Density = 256MbWidth = x1_x2_x4
    Part Number = s25fl256sxxxxxx1
  8. Once the appropriate flash device is selected, a dialog box is going to pop up asking if the user wants to program the configuration device (SPI Flash). Click OK.

  9. Go to the Configuration file and select the appropriate .mcs file needed to program the flash device.
    Note: The .mcs can be downloaded from the DLPLCRC964EVM Tool Page. Locate and download the DLPR964-FW package which includes the appropriate .mcs to program the DLPC964 Controller.
  10. After clicking OK, the Vivado Hardware Manager is going to program the flash of the board and verify that the flash was programmed successfully.

  11. Complete a power cycle on the DLPLCRC964EVM board. Unplug power from the barrel jack connector J3 and then plug power back into the barrel jack connector. After the FPGA is programmed successfully, DLPC964 Done (D4) is going to illuminate green and the DLPC964 Heartbeat (D5) has a heartbeat that flashes on/off.
