Exporting a EDK design to Project Navigator

Hi all,

I want to export my design in XPS to Project Navigator but when the design is in XMDSTUB mode and not in Executable Mode.

I have exported and opened the design with Project Navigator but when I download the bitstream to the FPGA I cannot connect with MicroBlaze via XMD.

Does anybody know if is needed to add to the project any other file in the Project Navigator?

I have tried adding "executable.elf" file with no success.

Thanks in advance,

Arkaitz.

Hi Arkaitz,

Either add xmdstub.elf (and the .bmm file) to the Project Navigator project - associated with the top level HDL file in the project. Alternatively, you have a few other options. One would be to use the hardware debug module (MDM) if you're using the newest version of MicroBlaze (2.00.a). The other would be to not add any .elf file to the ISE project and import the uninitialized .bit file and the _bt.bmm file from ISE back into XPS. There you can update bitstream with whichever .elf file you want (xmdstub or executable) without regenerating the hardware from ISE.

I hope this information helps.

The usual modus operandi(us?) for going between XPS and PN is to export your project to PN, create the bitstream, then reimport it into XPS, and update the bitstream there. I've done this many times and never had a problem, but I've never tried to integrate the executable in PN. Is there a specific reason you want to bypass the standard flow?
