The xilinx_devcfg.c driver was deprecated in the 2018.1 release and  FPGA manager support was added for the Zynq-7000 platform. The xilinx_devcfg.c driver was implemented with a character driver model that only supported Bitstream loading using the sysfs interface.  It does not support the more advanced functionality supported by the FPGA Manager framework.  Current designs should use Zynq FPGA manager to program the Bitstream for Zynq-7000.

Introduction

The Zynq Programmable Logic (PL) can be programmed by the First Stage Bootloader (FSBL), U-Boot or through Linux. Programming the PL at different stages may be advantageous for different projects and workflows.

Test procedure

Programming ZYNQ PL through Linux

Once booted into Linux, write the bitstream file to the devcfg device:
$cat bitstream.bit > /dev/xdevcfg
Programming the PL through the FSBL
The First Stage Boot-Loader (FSBL) is capable of programming the PL before loading U-Boot, which may be necessary for some applications. To have the FSBL load the PL, include the bitstream file when generating boot.bin and boot normally.
References:

Programming the PL through U-Boot

Load the bitstream into memory and then use fpga loadb to program the PL; for example:
U-Boot> fatload mmc 0 0x4000000 bitstream.bit
U-Boot> fpga loadb 0 0x4000000 <bitstream file size>

Expected Output

Linux:
After, the prog_done file should indicate that the programming was successful.
$ cat /sys/class/xdevcfg/xdevcfg/device/prog_done
