Getting Started with MiniZed

The Avnet MiniZed enables hardware and software developers to explore the capabilities of the
Zynq™-7000 All Programmable SoC Single-Core. Designers can create or evaluate designs for
both the Zynq Processor Subsystem (PS) and the Programmable Logic (PL) fabric.

This Getting Started Guide will outline the steps to setup the MiniZed hardware. It documents
the procedure to run a PetaLinux design running on the ARM® Cortex™-A9 MPCore™
Processing System (PS).

MiniZed Basic Setup and Operation

The functionality of the MiniZed is determined by the application booted from the non-volatile
memory – by default that is the QSPI and eMMC. This Getting Started Guide allows system
developers to exercise and demonstrate multiple circuits through PetaLinux, including:

 USB 2.0
 eMMC
 Wi-Fi
 Bluetooth
 I2C Sensor
 Microphone

In addition to the items included in the kit, you will also need the following to complete the
exercises in this tutorial.

 Wi-Fi connection
 2nd micro-USB cable
 USB thumb drive formatted as FAT or FAT32

A MiniZed image in its expected out-of-box configuration is shown below along with the
locations of several key components.

Figure 3 – MiniZed Topology

Page 11

Example Design

The MiniZed ships with an example PetaLinux design stored in the QSPI and eMMC. If the
QSPI has been erased or reprogrammed, than use the Restore QSPI and eMMC Factory
Images tutorial available at www.MiniZed.org to restore both the QSPI and eMMC to the original
factory images.

Hardware Setup

1. The USB thumb drive must be formatted as FAT32. If this has not been previously done,
please do that now.

2. A terminal program is required. Tera Term was used in this example which can be
downloaded from the Tera Term project on the SourceForge Japan page:

ttssh2.sourceforge.jp Install Tera Term or another terminal program of your choice.

3. Connect the MiniZed USB-JTAG/UART port J2 to your Windows PC. It should
automatically install the proper drivers, giving you a confirmation as shown below. If
installed correctly, skip to Step 7.

Figure 4 – MiniZed USB-JTAG/UART Installed Correctly

4. In the rare circumstance that the drivers are not auto-installed, then you must manually
install the driver for the FTDI FT2232H device. Visit the FTDI website and download the
appropriate driver for your operating system.

http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm

5. Make sure the MiniZed is unplugged from the PC. Unzip and install the driver.

6. Reboot your PC then plug in the MiniZed.

7. Set the MiniZed boot mode switch SW1 to QSPI mode (‘F’ for Flash) as shown below.

Figure 6 – QSPI/Flash Boot Mode

Boot Linux

8. If previously disconnected, plug in the micro-USB cable to the USB-JTAG/UART port.

9. Plug in the 2nd micro-USB cable to the auxiliary power port. This is necessary for the USB
thumb drive to get power.

10. Launch and connect Tera Term using the settings shown below. Press the RESET button
(SW2) to reset the board so you can see the boot sequence.
