Introduction

Here I provide you the "SEGGER Evaluation Software for MYIR Z-turn Board V2 and SEGGER Embedded Studio".

The port provided here was ported by me and has therefore not been verified by SEGGER. I used the evaluation software for the emPower Zynq board as a basis and extended it for the Z-turn Board V2. I’m only providing the "extension" here, the original software from SEGGER is also required.

Note: Don’t blame SEGGER if there any problems with this port arise. Because I created it.

In the "Software" section, I will show you how to combine both parts.

The following software and hardware were used for this tutorial:

Hardware

Here a MYIR Z-turn Board V2 was used:

Unfortunately the board is not equipped with a 20pin JTAG connector. Therefore we need a simple wire connection:

However, an additional change for the reset signal is also required. In its original state, it is not possible to trigger a reset of the assembly via JTAG. Pin 12 of J1 is normally unused. I’m using it here for the reset signal. The image shows that the J-Link is connected to pin 12 of J1. The "RESET" signal from the J-Link is used for this purpose:

Additionally, pin 12 of J1 must be connected to pin 1 of the reset button S2:

Only with these changes can a reset of the assembly be triggered via JTAG.

Software

Important: Only the designated PL images may be used, as these have been specifically adapted for the hardware. Do not attempt to use an image intended for one board, such as the emPower Zynq board, on another board, such as the Z-turn board V2, or vice versa. This could damage the hardware in the worst case.

Believe me, I know what I’m talking about; I once used the wrong PL image and had corresponding problems. I have described the whole story here.

First, the main project is needed, in which the part from SEGGER will later be integrated. To do this, download "SeggerEval_XC7Z010_MYIR_ZturnBoardV2_ARM_SES.7z" from my download area and unpack the "7z" file. After unpacking, the directory should contain the following content:

Then download the file "SeggerEval_XC7Z007S_SEGGER_emPowerZynq_ARM_SES_231018.zip" from SEGGER and place it in this folder. The Folder should contain the following content now:

Now the SEGGER file can be extracted; afterwards, the contents of the folder should look like this:

To prevent accidentally using the project for the "emPower Zynq" board, the "Prebuilt" folder must now be removed and some files renamed. Run the "_cleanup.bat" file which will do this for you.

The file "Start_ZturnBoardV2.emProject" can now be used as the "Solution" for SEGGER Embedded Studio.
