Zynq-based WISER platform - Start-up test

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

• To get started first make a reservation on the ​Orbit Scheduler for using the SB6.

• 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
