Command-Line Session for AMD SoC Devices - MATLAB & Simulink (original) (raw)

Main Content

Obtain the IP address of your AMD® SoC device, and verify serial port communication to your AMD SoC device by using a command-line session with the AMD SoC device.

You can use this optional procedure to:

• View the standard output while the hardware boots.
• Get or set the IP address, as described in Get IP Address of AMD SoC Devices.

If you have multiple AMD SoC platform boards connected to your host computer, disconnect the ones you are not using.

Identify COM Port

Determine the COM port number, assigned to the USB UART connection of AMD SoC platform by the development computer:

1. In Windows®, open Devices and Printers.
2. Locate the USB device that connects to the SoC platform, such asCypress Serial or Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge. The device name includes the port number.
   

Open Serial Connection

Open a serial connection to the device using a terminal software, such as PuTTy:

1. In the PuTTy configuration window, select the Serial category.
   
2. Enter the following values:
   • Serial line to connect to: Enter the COM port number.
   • Speed: 115200
   • Flow control:None
3. Select the Session category.
   
4. In Connection type, selectSerial.
5. In Saved Sessions, enter a new name, such asSerial.
6. Click Save, and then clickOpen.
7. When a terminal window opens, press the Enter key on your keyboard. The terminal window displays a Linux® command prompt.
   

Get Platform IP Address

To get the AMD SoC platform IP address at the Linux command line:

1. At the Linux command line, enter: ifconfig
2. Locate the eth0 device and get the value ofinet addr from the command-line output. For example:
   zynq> ifconfig
   eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0A:35:00:01:22
   inet addr:172.28.144.60 Bcast:172.28.144.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
   UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
   RX packets:26581 errors:5 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
   TX packets:106 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
   collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
   RX bytes:2953666 (2.8 MiB) TX bytes:11772 (11.4 KiB)
   Interrupt:54 Base address:0xb000

lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) 3. To confirm the connection to the platform, see Send PING Request to AMD SoC Devices. 4. When you are finished, close the terminal window.
Note
Leaving the terminal session open prevents the build process from connecting to the AMD SoC platform and produces a build error.

Open SSH Connection

Open an SSH connection to the platform using a terminal software, such as PuTTy:

1. To configure the PuTTy for SSH connection, selectSession.
   
2. Enter the following values:
   • Host Name (or IP address): Enter theinet addr of the device.
   • Port: 22
3. For Saved Sessions, enter a new name, such asSSH.
4. Click Save, thenOpen.
5. When a terminal window opens, login as the user root with password root. The terminal window displays a Linux terminal.
   
6. Close the terminal session.
   Note
   Leaving the terminal session open prevents the build process from connecting to the AMD SoC platform and produces a build error.
7. At the MATLAB® command prompt, create a hardware object.
   z =
   zynqrfsocnetwork with properties:
   IPAddress: '192.168.1.101'
   Check the connectivity.
