Nix (Flakes) based Zynqmp Qemu Development Environment

Prerequisites

1. You’ll need a working Nix Flakes setup. If you are using NixOS, you can enable Nix Flakes feature by following this link. You can also setup Nix Flakes on non-NixOS distro such as Ubuntu by following this link.
2. Next you’ll need to download Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC Board Support Packages - 2020.1 from Xilinx website. Here is the link. Please download the file called ZCU102 BSP. The downloaded file should have the following checksum.

   $ sha256sum xilinx-zcu102-v2020.1-final.bsp
   2045c3b6421ec34d7e943f2227c40e42beb83b65ec67b0128e81c3ac19d000f0  xilinx-zcu102-v2020.1-final.bsp
       

Getting Started

1. Rename the downloaded BSP file and add it to the Nix store.

   mv xilinx-zcu102-v2020.1-final.bsp xilinx-zcu102-v2020.1-final.tar.gz
   
   nix-store --add-fixed sha256 ./xilinx-zcu102-v2020.1-final.tar.gz
       

2. Enable ViryaOS Cachix repository.

   nix shell nixpkgs#cachix -c cachix use viryaos
       

   This will update ~/.config/nix/nix.conf.

3. You are all set. You can now cd into this directory and start your development shell using nix develop.

   cd zynqmp-qemu-devenv/
   
   nix develop
   
   which qemu-system-aarch64
       

   Inside your development shell, you can access the BSP binary blobs using the XILINX_ZCU102_BINARY_BLOB_PATH environment variable.

   echo $XILINX_ZCU102_BINARY_BLOB_PATH
