.. zephyr:board:: versal_apu
Overview
This configuration provides support for the APU (Application Processing Unit) on AMD Versal devices. The APU can operate as follows:
This processing unit is based on an ARM Cortex-A72 CPU, and it enables the following devices:
Hardware
.. zephyr:board-supported-hw::
This board configuration uses a system timer tick frequency of 100 MHz.
This board configuration uses a single serial communication channel with the on-chip UART0.
Although Flash, DDR and OCM memory regions are defined in the DTS file, all the code plus data of the application will be loaded in the sram0 region, which points to the DDR memory. The OCM memory area is currently available for usage, although nothing is placed there by default.
The following platform features are unsupported:
Programming and Debugging
.. zephyr:board-supported-runners::
For deployment on real Versal hardware, XSDB and a PDI file are required. The PDI file contains the hardware initialization and boot configuration needed for the physical device.
Build the application:
.. zephyr-app-commands:: :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world :board: versal_apu :goals: build
Flash to real hardware with PDI file:
.. code-block:: console
west flash --runner xsdb --pdi /path/to/your.pdi --bl31 /path/to/your_bl31.elf
You should see the following message on the console:
.. code-block:: console
Hello World! versal_apu/versal_apu
