Lab 3 problem

I have followed the instructions  of lab 3 as per the instructions. The bit generation, update and download complete without error. However, the green LED supposed to glow to show transmission does not glow. Kindly suggest.

Re: Lab 3 problem

Does printing to the RS-232 serial port work? Use the command

Code:

xil_printf("Hello World");

somewhere in your main function and see if "Hello World" is printed a terminal program of your choice. We use TeraTerm Pro as described in the lab write-ups.

If the user code fails to print, this implies that the PowerPC is not running your code and hence the radio controller is never receiving your calls to configure it. This might be due to a linker script error, placing your instructions and data into incorrect pieces of memory. It should be configured something like this.
