Master Microblaze images
- It is recommended to use master microblaze images only if you really need them (for example features that are not part of any release yet) since the files may not be always in a good state. Check Latest microblaze released images for most recent and tested images.
- Inside every archive there is system_top.bit, simpleImage.<project name>.strip and a script to program it.
There are two ways of loading the design. One is using the XMD command line. Open a xmd command window/shell and enter the commands manually.
Below is just a example and the file-names may vary.
Xilinx XMD command console
XMD has been replaced with XSCT/XSDB in newer releases of VIVADO. In windows, you can run the XSCT terminal from start menu → Xilinx Design Tools → Xilinx Software Command Line Tool…

The second method is to run the tcl script which takes care of loading the bit file and the linux image. Run Vivado TCL Shell from Windows start menu → Xilinx Design Suite → Vivado → Vivado TCL Shell. (In Linux, source the settings.sh file first)
Then run the tcl script:

If you are interested in the Linux console messages and command line interface, connect a USB cable to the USB UART port. Terminal settings are 115200,8N1.
There are two users:
| user | password |
|---|---|
| root | analog |
| analog | analog |
If you FPGA carrier board (KC705, vc707, ml605) features a LCD display and the board is connected to a DHCP enabled network. You should also see it's IP address printed on the display. This allows you to connect remote to the board as well. (ssh, libiio remote)
Unlike shown in the picture below you won't see the second line. In case the IP address is 192.168.2.2, this indicates that DHCP failed and it's now using it's default address. This address may not be within your subnet, and things therefore may fail.
You should see the kernel start-up messages as follows:
