Description

This tutorial shows how to load the Zynq-based WISER platform (Zedboard + ADFMCOMMS1) on ORBIT and run a start-up test.

Hardware / Software Resources utilized

  1. An SB6 node with WISER platform connected to it.
  2. wiser_sb6_zedboard.ndz: disk image.

Set up

  • After logging into SB6 console, image one of the nodes 
    omf load -i wiser_sb6_zedboard.ndz -t node1-1
  • Once imaging is done, turn the node on 
    omf tell -a on -t node1-1
  • Wait for the node to turn on and log in 
    ssh root@node1-1

Loading the Zedboard

Launch XMD
