Matlab Buildroot: How do I create an AXI-Stream supporting DeviceTree for a Zynq CustomBoard (PynqZ2)?

I am currently trying to get the AXI-Stream example for the PynqZ2 (a Zynq based board) to work.

I've followed the therefore necessary steps according to the Simulink SFIR Stream Example.

However, I couldn't get it to work.

What I've already got to work:

I've created a customLinuxImage using the MatlabBuildroot Tool. After I successfully deployed it to the Board, I was able to get the LED_Blinking Example to work. The therefore needed DeviceTree came was copied from the ZedBoard and the UART Output Port was Changed from 1 to 0.

I Then tried deploying the AXI-Stream application to the same LinuxImage and got a connectionTimedOut Error. I Tried to deploy it manually but then noticed, that apparently the "mwipcore0:mm2s" and "mwipcore0:s2mm" where missing. Even iio_info didn't list them.

Thats why I am sure, the DeviceTree did not list the AXI-Stream Interfaces as they where not configured.

When i tried to configure them by adding zynq-mw-axistream-common.dtsi to deviceTreeSources to include.

In there i found the following code:

#include "zynq-mw-cma.dtsi"
#include "xilinx-mw-axistream-dma.dtsi"

&axi4stream_mm2s {
	reg = <0x40020000 0x10000>;
	dma-channel@0  {
		interrupts = <0x0 0x1d 0x4>;
	};
};
&axi4stream_s2mm {
	reg = <0x40030000 0x10000>;
	dma-channel@0  {
		interrupts = <0x0 0x1e 0x4>;
	};
};

&mwipcore0 {
	dmas = <&axi4stream_mm2s 0 
                &axi4stream_s2mm 0>;
	dma-names = "mm2s", "s2mm";
};

Shouldn't this add afformentioned hardware interfaces, so that they should be discovered? Do I need to configure them further? If so, how do I accomplish that?

Also, the DeviceTree for the pynqz2 I am using was copied from their official GitRepository, it contains at least one error.

	status = "okay";
};

&usb0 {

};

Compiling the image did actually work though. When I booted the file and used Putty to read the Serial Output for a better understanding what's going wrong I got The following output.

When "discovering" the new hardware it just stops until i press a key to interrupt that process. All while never discovering anything.

I thought that just adding the standard interface libraries such as (base.dtsi or zynq-mw-axistream-iio-common.dtsi) to the DeviceTree would be enough to get the image to work but it doesn't seem to be that easy.

Any help on how to get the DeviceTree properly set so the AXi-Stream DMA interfaces show up would be greatly appreciated.

I am currently using the 2022.a Version of tools. Including, Buildroot, Simulink HDL Coder and Matlab.

Unfortunately I couldn't attach the version because MatlabBuildroot apparently does not count as a listed Mathworks product.

Best regards,

Reporting back. I finally found the error and got the axistream example working on the pynq-z2 SoC.

TLDR:

The problem was a faulty reference design. Multichannel dmas are not supported anymore. I also had to tweak the addresses of the mwipcores to match the axistream registers.

Longer version:

I tried replicating the reference design from the Axistream-Example. Notice the multichannel dma that has been used in that reference design.

As it turns out, xilinx removed the support for the multichannel dma-engine back in version 2019.1 according to their wiki.

All the example devicetrees in the buildroot repository (zybo, zed, zcu702,etc.), which use the axistream interface have two dmas listed. One for reading data from the dma and one for writing on it.

I've already contacted the mathworks support on that matter and they are working on updating their pages.

Anyway the fully created vivado-reference-design as it has been produced by the hdl-workflow advisor is shown below.

I also checked, that the configured addresses match those of the .dts files in the buildroot repository (as i copied them for my pynqz2 board).

NOTE: As far as I'm aware it's not of importance how you name your DUT in hdl-workflow-advisor. It's only important that you either assign the axilite and axistream registers accordingly, or that you later change the address-registers in the .dts files respectively.

Afterwards I exported the .xsa and .bit file. the .xsa project was used to get a general devicetree without the mwipcores yet. More information about that under this link on xilinx' wiki.

It's noteworthy that the newer versions of xilinx tools tend to use a different (probably newer) dma driver, which from my understanding doesn't work with the mwipcores.

However, we only need

• system-top.dts
• pcw.dts (defines general peripherals like ethernet, sdhc, serial,etc.)
• zynq-7000.dtsi
• ps7_init_gpl.c
• ps7_init_gpl.h
• generated .bit file

from the generated devicetree. If you take a look into pl.dtsi you can see the dma being created without the mwipcores. Since the mwipcores use the same addresses with a different driver, the file must be excluded.

Next, we need to add the mwipcores to the devicetree and for me adding the axistream_iio.dts was enough. It has to be the *_iio.dts, otherwise the dmas and mwipcore won't be listed when typing iio_info in the console on the zynq.

#include "axistream_iio.dts"

Make sure, the .dts(i) files are all in the same folder - you can source them from the zedboard directory in buildroot.

Note: If you don't use the aforementioned addresses you may need to overwrite them manually in the .dts files.

Last but not least the catalog.xml needs to be adjusted to load the .bit file and the devicetree (which is system-top.dts)

Once you build the linux-image and load it onto the pynqz2 you should be good to go. I also attached a zipped file for those who might want to use it straight away. I can't guarantee it to work on your end though.

Some last notes:

• I upgraded the xilinx-tools (vitis and vivado) from 2022.1 to 2023.2 - So I didn't test it on the 2022.1 version anymore
• I contacted the Mathworks-support and asked them to update their mathworks/buildroot setup documentation as it's fairly outdated. They complied, but I don't think it happens anytime soon.
• I got told that they try to use a yocto/petalinux layer in the near future instead of the buildroot system. You may want to check out their GIT-Repo - However, I didn't try to use it.

Best of luck working with the mathworks-buildroot,
