[SOLVED] Access BRAM from PS

[aminpix]

I have a zynq FPGA and I am trying to read a file from MicroSD, then write the file into the BRAM of the FPGA and do some process on them in PL side of the Zynq.
I can read and write to the BRAM from PL side.
The block diagram is like this:

and my PS code is this:

#include <stdio.h>
#include "platform.h"
#include "xil_printf.h"
#include "xparameters.h"

int main()
{
    init_platform();
    UINTPTR ADRS1 ;
    u32 din ;
    int i ;
    ADRS1 = XPAR_BRAM_0_BASEADDR ;
    while (1)
    {
        usleep(1000000);
        for (i=0;i<50;i++)
        {
            din = *((uint32_t *)(ADRS1 + i));  //(uint32_t)*(ADRS1+i);
            printf("val %i:  %lu \n\r",i, din);
        }
    }

Now, I just want to read BRAM from PS (and next step will be write into the BRAM).

What is wrong with my code?

In principle...
1. The BRAM needs to have an AXI wrapper module or maybe an AXI BRAM Controller (if such a thing exists within Xilinx).
2. This AXI-BRAM then needs to be connected to the AXI Interconnect module (the interface between PS and PL) as a slave.
3. You can write C code for the ARM core that will be able R/W the BRAM over the AXI.

There should be help available on how to do it in details. You search word needs to be "Accessing BRAM from PS + Zynq"

I found the solution for my problem:

• 1) AXI_BRAM_CNT should have one controller not two.
• 2) The BRAM address (ADRS1) should increase by 4 not 1
• 3) Xil_In32(ADRS1); was the correct way of reading from BRAM.
• 4) I can use u64 instead of UINTPTR
