Overview of PDI and Configuration - PDI file contains device programming data for AMD Versal devices, similar to bitstreams [1] - AMD Versal devices require configuration of multiple blocks (NOC, AI Engine, PL, CIPS) at boot using Configuration Data Objects (CDOs) packaged into a single boot image file [2] - PDI may contain bootloaders, firmware, and user applications [3] - Platform Loader and Manager (PLM) processes the Versal PDI boot image during boot or partial configuration [4] Introduction of PDI Debug Utility - PDI debug utility introduced in Vivado 20242 release assists with debugging programming errors in PLM and BootROM [5] - Utility generates error reports, analyzes errors, provides debugging suggestions, and can be used for programming the PDI and analyzing errors upon failure [6] - Use cases include decoding PLM/ROM errors, analyzing errors from log files or connected hardware, and programming PDI with error analysis [6] PDI Debug Utility Commands and Usage - Basic feature is decoding PDI errors obtained via JTAG or UART output [8] - Analyze-log subcommand analyzes PDI configuration error logs, useful for remote debugging [10][11][12] - List-target subcommand lists targets detected on a JTAG chain to determine the target index [12][13] - Analyze-hw subcommand analyzes configuration errors remotely via JTAG, automatically detecting device details [13][14][15] - Program subcommand configures and analyzes errors remotely via JTAG, showing programming progress and error analysis [17][18]
