Xlnx-config is command line tool used to manage and manipulate the hardware platform for Xilinx ZCU102/4/6 and KV260 boards running Certified Ubuntu 20.04 LTS for Xilinx Devices. Xlnx-config provides two main functions as detailed below.

The main purpose of the xlnx-config is to load custom hardware platforms (Targeted reference designs (TRDs), Vitis accelerated platforms, etc) for the ZC10x Zynq UltraScale+ boards other than the standard standard platforms delivered as part of the Certified Ubuntu for Xilinx Devices Image. Xlnx

For ZCU10x, xlnx-config manages the installing of the custom boot assets (bitstream, firmware, and xclbin) while maintaining the “golden” boot assets delivered with the Certified Ubuntu image.

For the KV260, which does not include a bitstream in the official image, xlnx-config manages the installation of “Accelerated Application” (AA) firmware by integrating a subset of the “xmutil” set of sub-utilities.

Xclbin Access for Snaps

Xlnx-config provides a way for strictly confined applications snaps to access the xclbin currently present in the system. Since snap applications are strictly confined, they don’t access to many system resources. However, xlnx-config is a “classic” snap which means it has more access to the system than a typical snap. We use the concept of a “content plug” to provide the xclbin (and possibly other system resources) to “consumer snaps” from the xlnx-config “producer” snap.

When application snaps that need access to the xclbin are installed (e.g. xlnx-vai-lib-samples, or xlnx-nlp-smartvision), they automatically connect to the xlnx-config assets directory through the content interface as specified in the snapcraft build file for the application snap. This allows files (ex: dpu.xclbin) to be shared through the interface.

...

The sysinit sub application is used to install Xilinx Gstreamer and Video packages to facilitate the use of the advanced multi-media features of the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC device. This sub app should be executed after first booboot of the system.

Installation

To install xlnx-config, you must include the --classic option since this is a classic confined snap:

...

Supported Options

--

Option	Description	ZCU10x	KV260	sudo req’d
`--version, -v`	returns current version of xlnx-config	✔	✔
`--query, -q`	Checks for currently available HW configurations, by searching for manifest files. The locations where it searches are: Platform Snap: /snap//current/hwconfig//manifest.yaml Manual Install /usr/local/share/xlnx-config//hwconfig//manifest.yaml /boot/firmware/xlnx-config//hwconfig//manifest.yaml	✔	✔
`--activate, -a <config_name>`	Activates a configuration by using its name or, directly, the path to the manifest. It checks the system compatibility by looking at the manifest and then applies the configuration (for instance, it builds and installs the boot and FPGA assets).
--get-board, -b:	returns the system's board model (currently, one of zcu102, zcu104 or zcu106).
--force, -f	Use jointly with `-a` or `-d` to force activation/deactivation even if the configuration seems already correct.
-- ✔		✔
`--deactivate, -d`	Deactivates the currently active configuration, uninstalling its assets. After a reboot, the default boot assets for the board will be loaded.	✔		✔
`--`is-active, -i	<hwconfig_name_or_manifest>: Check whether a HW configuration (given by name or by manifest path) is currently active.
--update, -u	Update the assets directory to match /usr/lib/dpu.xclbin and deactivate any platform not matching the current board. This is executed one time every boot as a one-shot daemon. See One-Shot Daemon for more details.
xlnx-config.sysinit	Sub-application that installs Xilinx-specific gstreamer and video packages

Platform Assets Container

A Platform Assets Container (PAC) is used to package one or more sets of custom boot assets. The boot assets and manifests will always be under a directory called hwconfig in the installed package or snap. The hwconfig directory contains at least one “configuration” directory (the names of the configuration directories are user-defined) which defines a unique reference design in the package that could have support for multiple boards. Under the configuration directory, there is a manifest.yaml, and at least one board-specific “assets directory” that contains the boot assets for that configuration/board combination.

The [data] shown below is optional, and can be used to store software, data, config files, etc. It can have any name, and xlnx-config does not parse it.

The diagram below shows what the PAC directory structure would look like with three unique configurations with assets for all three boards:

...

          └-- <config_N>

Format of the manifest file

Manifest files will contain meta-information for a concrete hardware configuration, usually tied to capabilities needed by an application. It’s a yaml file describing compatibility information and the location of the boot assets. For example:

...

Code Block
name: <configuration> description: <full description> revision: <number> assets: zcuXXX: <assets directory>

Field details:

name: configuration name, usually the same as the parent directory
description: a detailed description. Details on how to run the application can be described here.
revision: a number used to version the boot assets
assets: information about assets for a given board. This is a dictionary where keys are the board name as returned by the --get-board option
- Valid keys are zcu102, zcu104, zcu106, zcu111, zcu208, and zcu216. The “assets directory” is typically named the same, but it can be unique.

...

The directory will contain .bif file describing how to build boot*.bin files and the boot assets necessary for that. Additionally, an xclbin file called dpu.xclbin might be present for DPU-enabled systems. There will be an directory for every compatible board (zcu102, zcu104, zcu106).

The names expected for the files are:

Assets Directory

ZCU10x Assets

The directory will contain .bif file describing how to build boot*.bin files and the boot assets necessary for that. Additionally, an xclbin file called dpu.xclbin might be present for DPU-enabled systems. There will be an directory for every compatible board (zcu102, zcu104, zcu106).

The names expected for the files are:

Filename	Description
`bootgen.bif`	Bootgen config file used by xlnx-config to package new boot.bin
`fsbl.elf`	Zynq UltraScale+ First Stage Boot Loader (FSBL)
`bl31.elf`	ARM Trusted Firmware (ATF)
`pmufw.elf`	Platform Management Unit (PMU) Firmware
`system.bit`	The Programmable Logic bitstream
`system.dtb`	The Linux Device tree that matches the contents of the bitstream
`dpu.xclbin`	The xclbin file that matches system.bit (optional)

Info
The `bootgen.bif` must reference a U-Boot binary. For Certified Ubuntu on Xilinx Devices, this should be the `u-boot.elf` provided by Canonical at `/usr/lib/u-boot/xilinx_zynqmp_virt/u-boot.elf`)

After activation, the manifest for the currently active configuration is stored by xlnx-config. If we try to activate the same configuration again, xlnx-config will detect that and will not re-apply the changes. The revision field can be increased to signal that assets have changed so they are updated even when the configuration is already active.

KV260 Assets

For KV260, the assets directory contains the accelerated application firmware as shown in the following table.

Filename	Description
`<Accelerated app name>.bit.bin`	The Programmable Logic bitstream in .bin format
`<Accelerated app name>.xclbin`	The xclbin file that matches the bitstream (optional)
`<Accelerated app name>.dtbo`	Binary Linux device tree overlay blob that matches the contents of the bitstream
`shell.json`	json file required by dfx-mgr

Info

In this release, shell.json should be a text file with the following contents:

{
"shell_type" : "XRT_FLAT",
"num_slots": "1"
}

Run-Time Asset Management

Handling of the ZCU10x boot assets

When an configuration is activated, if the assets directory for the board contains a bootgen.bif file, new boot assets will be generated by xlnx-config by following these steps:

Copy files from the assets directory to a temporary directory.
Run bootgen using bootgen.bif as input. This file can reference not only the files coming from the assets directory, but also the default boot assets installed in the system like /usr/lib/u-boot/xilinx_zynqmp_virt/u-boot.elf

...

The revision field can be increased to signal that assets have changed so they are updated even when the configuration is already active.

Run-Time Asset Management

Handling of the boot assets

When an configuration is activated, if the assets directory for the board contains a bootgen.bif file, new boot assets will be generated by xlnx-config by following these steps:

Copy files from the assets directory to a temporary directory.
Run bootgen using bootgen.bif as input. This file can reference not only the files coming from the assets directory, but also the default boot assets installed in the system like /usr/lib/u-boot/xilinx_zynqmp_virt/u-boot.elf or /usr/share/xlnx-firmware/zcu10*/*, so there is no need to include all binaries in the application package.
Copy the resulting boot10?0.bin file to /boot/firmware/. This file has precedence over the default boot assets named boot10?1.bin, so if present, they are loaded by the image selector.
The manifest.yaml file for the configuration will be copied to /var/lib/xlnx-config. This way the snap will know if it has been activated and if that is the case, which configuration has been activated.
A file named active_board is created in the same directory that includes the active board name and the location of the activated assets directory.
Once the activation is complete, the user must manually reboot the system in order for the new boot assets to take effect.

When a configuration is deactivated, the following steps will be taken:

The /boot/firmware/boot10?0.bin file will be removed if present, and the user will be asked to reboot the system for the changes to take effect.
The manifest.yaml and active_board files will be removed from /var/lib/xlnx-config.

Note that when a new configuration is activated, the steps to deactivate any previously activated configuration are applied as first step.

Handling of dpu.xclbin

Each of the three platforms provided with the Certified Ubuntu on Xilinx Devices images includes the Xilinx® Deep Learning Processor Unit (DPU) in the PL. On Ubuntu, there is a symbolic link with path /usr/lib/dpu.xclbin that points to the correct dpu.xclbin file for the board. Each time the system boots, a script runs (dpu-config.sh, see table below) to make sure the link is pointing to the correct dpu.xclbin for the current evaluation board. In the case that a custom set of boot assets (provided by a PAC) has been activated, and the standard dpu.xclbin has been updated, the dpu-config.sh will not overwrite it. Upon deactivation of the custom boot assets, xlnx-config will restore the link back to the the proper board-specific dpu.xclbin.

For example after the zcu102 is booted the first time, the following link will be configured:

Code Block
/usr/lib/dpu.xclbin -> /usr/share/xlnx-firmware/zcu102/dpu.xclbin

If the SD card is moved to a ZCU104, the link will be updated:

Code Block
/usr/lib/dpu.xclbin -> /usr/share/xlnx-firmware/zcu104/dpu.xclbin

There three scenarios where xlnx-config needs to make sure that the dpu.xclbin in its assets directory is up to date:

...

Scenario

...

Action Taken

...

Initial snap install

...

The xlnx-config install hook copies /usr/lib/dpu.xclbin to the xlnx-config assets directory

...

Reboot with Golden image

...

xlnx-config --update is called by the one-shot daemon at boot to make sure the assets directory is in sync with /usr/lib/dpu.xclbin.

...

Activation of new PAC boot assets that includes dpu.xclbin

...

xlnx-config copies the new dpu.xclbin to the assets directory as part of the activation process.

Snap Details

Snap Install Hook

When xlnx-config is installed, the "install hook" will look in the firmware directory of the current board (e.g. /usr/share/xlnx-firmware/zcu106 ) and, if present, copy the dpu.xclbin to the $SNAP_DATA/assets directory (/var/snap/xlnx-config/current/assets). This assets directory is made available as a read-only "content interface" to all other xlnx- snaps. For other snaps to access this assets directory, their snapcraft.yaml should include the following plug definition:

...

Code Block
plugs: assets: interface: content target: $SNAP_DATA/assets

Before running an application that requires the DPU, the following environment variable is set to point to the dpu.xclbin being shared by the xlnx-config snap:

...

Code Block
export XLNX_VART_FIRMWARE=$SNAP_DATA/assets/dpu.xclbin

This can be either be set in the wrapper script that calls the DPU app, or set in the apps/environment property in snapcraft.yaml:

...

Code Block
test-app: command: bin/test_app.sh plugs: [opengl, home] environment: XLNX_VART_FIRMWARE: $SNAP_DATA/assets/dpu.xclbin

Anchor
isMissingRequiredParameters true
One-Shot Daemon

Each time the system boots after xlnx-config has been installed, a “one-shot daemon” will run and execute the following command: xlnx-config --update

The update option causes xlnx-config to go and copy the existing /usr/lib/dpu.xclbin, to the xlnx-config assets directory. This is necessary in the case that user switches an SD Card from one evaluation board type to another. It also checks to see if there is a currently activated set of custom PAC boot assets in the system. If so, it will check /var/lib/xlnx-config/active_board file to see if the assets were activated on a different board than we’re currently running on. If the boards are different, then the current set of boot assets will be deactivated.

or /usr/share/xlnx-firmware/zcu10*/*, so there is no need to include all binaries in the application package.
Copy the resulting boot10?0.bin file to /boot/firmware/. This file has precedence over the default boot assets named boot10?1.bin, so if present, they are loaded by the image selector.
The manifest.yaml file for the configuration will be copied to /var/lib/xlnx-config. This way the snap will know if it has been activated and if that is the case, which configuration has been activated.
A file named active_board is created in the same directory that includes the active board name and the location of the activated assets directory.
Once the activation is complete, the user must manually reboot the system in order for the new boot assets to take effect.

When a configuration is deactivated, the following steps will be taken:

The /boot/firmware/boot10?0.bin file will be removed if present, and the user will be asked to reboot the system for the changes to take effect.
The manifest.yaml and active_board files will be removed from /var/lib/xlnx-config.

Note that when a new configuration is activated, the steps to deactivate any previously activated configuration are applied as first step.

Handling of dpu.xclbin for ZCU10x

Each of the three ZCU10x platforms provided with the Certified Ubuntu on Xilinx Devices images includes the Xilinx® Deep Learning Processor Unit (DPU) in the PL. On Ubuntu, there is a symbolic link with path /usr/lib/dpu.xclbin that points to the correct dpu.xclbin file for the board. Each time the system boots, a script runs (dpu-config.sh, see table below) to make sure the link is pointing to the correct dpu.xclbin for the current evaluation board. In the case that a custom set of boot assets (provided by a PAC) has been activated, and the standard dpu.xclbin has been updated, the dpu-config.sh will not overwrite it. Upon deactivation of the custom boot assets, xlnx-config will restore the link back to the the proper board-specific dpu.xclbin.

For example after the zcu102 is booted the first time, the following link will be configured:

Code Block
/usr/lib/dpu.xclbin -> /usr/share/xlnx-firmware/zcu102/dpu.xclbin

If the SD card is moved to a ZCU104, the link will be updated:

Code Block
/usr/lib/dpu.xclbin -> /usr/share/xlnx-firmware/zcu104/dpu.xclbin

There are three scenarios where xlnx-config needs to make sure that the dpu.xclbin in its assets directory is up to date:

Scenario	Action Taken
Initial snap install	The `xlnx-config` install hook copies `/usr/lib/dpu.xclbin` to the `xlnx-config` assets directory
Reboot with Golden image	`xlnx-config --update` is called by the one-shot daemon at boot to make sure the assets directory is in sync with `/usr/lib/dpu.xclbin`.
Activation of new PAC boot assets that includes `dpu.xclbin`	`xlnx-config` copies the new `dpu.xclbin` to the assets directory as part of the activation process.

Handling of the .xclbin for KV260

For accelerated applications that include a .xclbin in their firmware package, the dfx-mgrd daemon will udpate /etc/vart.conf with a link to the .xclbin when the accelerated application firmware is loaded. When /etc/vart.conf is updated, the xlnx-configd daemon will see that, and automatically copy the .xclbin into the xlnx-config assets directory so it can be accessed by application snaps that need it. See the xlnx-configd section below for more details.

Snap Details

Snap Install Hook

When xlnx-config is installed, the "install hook" will look in the firmware directory of the current board (e.g. /usr/share/xlnx-firmware/zcu106 ) and, if present, copy the dpu.xclbin to the $SNAP_DATA/assets directory (/var/snap/xlnx-config/current/assets). This assets directory is made available as a read-only "content interface" to all other xlnx- snaps. For other snaps to access this assets directory, their snapcraft.yaml should include the following plug definition:

Code Block
plugs: assets: interface: content target: $SNAP_DATA/assets

Before running an application that requires the DPU, the following environment variable is set to point to the dpu.xclbin being shared by the xlnx-config snap:

Code Block
export XLNX_VART_FIRMWARE=$SNAP_DATA/assets/dpu.xclbin

This can be either be set in the wrapper script that calls the DPU app, or set in the apps/environment property in snapcraft.yaml:

Each time the system boots after xlnx-config has been installed, a “one-shot daemon” will run and execute the following command: xlnx-config --update

The update option causes xlnx-config to go and copy the existing /usr/lib/dpu.xclbin, to the xlnx-config assets directory. This is necessary in the case that user switches an SD Card from one evaluation board type to another. It also checks to see if there is a currently activated set of custom PAC boot assets in the system. If so, it will check /var/lib/xlnx-config/active_board file to see if the assets were activated on a different board than we’re currently running on. If the boards are different, then the current set of boot assets will be deactivated.

When the xlnx-config snap is started, a “simple daemon” called xlnx-configd is started. This daemon is responsible for the following tasks.

Determine the Board Type

xlnc-configd will check the value in /proc/device-tree/model to determine the board type. For zcu10x boards, it will write the board type to $SNAP_DATA/board.txt (i.e. /var/snap/xlnx-config/current/board.txt). If a Kria SOM is detected, then xlnx-configd will access the EEPROM data on the board to determined which carrier card is present. It will then write this data to $SNAP_DATA/board.txt

Create a Xilinx Firmware Directory

xlnx-configd will create /lib/firmware/xilinx if it doesn’t already exist

Monitor for changes to /etc/vart.conf

Finally, xlnx-configd will enter a loop and, using inotify, watch for changes to /etc/vart.conf. If a change is detected, then the referenced xclbin is copied to the xlnx-config assets directory, and link called dpu.xclbin is created, linking to the .xclbin.

ZCU10x Usage Example

In this example, we’ll examine the makeup of a ZCU10x PAC, then walk through the process of activating and deactivating a simple set of PAC boot assets.

...

Now that the PAC is installed, xlnx-config -q can be used to query the system and report any boot assets available for the current boards:

ubuntu@zynqmp:~$ xlnx-config -q Hardware Platforms Present in the System: | Platform

Code Block

ubuntu@zynqmp:~$ xlnx-config -q

* IMPORTANT: Please reboot the system for the changes to take effect.

Again, for the changes to take effect, the system must be rebootedthe changes to take effect, the system must be rebooted.

KV260 Usage Example

Please see Snaps - xlnx-nlp-smartvision Snap for Certified Ubuntu on Xilinx Devices for an example of using xlnx-config to load a snap-based accelerated application.

Details for creating and loading custom AA firmware are coming soon.
