Pac-Man Card Status Michael Mulhearn Seth Hillbrand

Availability • Hillbrand Availability: • Our project was trumped by Tony Tyson for the last 1.5 weeks… proposal work with a fixed deadline. We dropped to zero percent. • Expect to return to a ~20% duty-cycle on Pac-Man starting next week. • No major vacations planned for winter holidays (few days) to take advantage of quiet time. • Mulhearn Availability: • Vacation Dec 9-15 interrupted for one day schematics review • Vacation Dec 23-27, but available part-time if needed. • Not teaching until Jan 6. • Pac-Man is highest priority research topic for me. 2

Trenz 4x5 cm Carriers and Peripherals Starter Kit w/ Baseboard TE7003 - great card, complicated to copy • Starter kits are a convenient start, but be careful not to rely on features not available for Pac-Mac. • Zynq Supporting Peripherals, copied from TE7006: • Micro SD card slot (4) • JTAG/UART header (8) • Boot mode dip switch (+ extra?) (9) • Gigabit Ethernet (7) TE7006 - no configurable logic 4

Pac-Man Firmware Development • Mulhearn focussing on Zynq architecture of TE0720: • Complete petalinux installation, including dev tools and SD-card root FS (DONE) • Bare-metal application “Hello World” (DONE) • “Hello Pin” Firmware, PL control high range I/O pin (DONE) • AXI PL/PS interface: measure bandwidth of interrupt driven design (Underway) • Firmware based-on command line (TCL, non-GUI) builds and version control with git. • See: https://github.com/mulhearn/pacman 5

Pac-Man Initial Testing Plans • Initial power testing by Hillbrand, before installing TE0720. • Remaining tests by Mulhearn and undergraduate student. • Core board features to be tested with bare-metal application and custom PL. • Physical loopback testing of digital I/O • Physical loopback testing of front-panel I/O • Blink LEDs. • Analog feature testing TBD. • “Advanced” board peripherals to be tested with peta-linux: • SD card • Ethernet 7
