pynq.bitstream Module¶
The pynq.pl module facilitates the bitstream class to be used on the Programmable Logic (PL). The Bitstream class manages downloading of bitstreams onto the PL. It converts the bit files into bin files and leverages the FPGA manager framework to download them onto the PL. It handles full bitstreams and partial bitstreams. It also manages the device tree segment associated with each full or partial bitstream.

class
pynq.bitstream.
Bitstream
(bitfile_name, dtbo=None, partial=False, device=None)[source]¶ Bases:
object
This class instantiates the meta class for PL bitstream (full/partial).
-
bitfile_name
¶ The absolute path or name of the bit file as a string.
Type: str
-
dtbo
¶ The absolute path of the dtbo file as a string.
Type: str
-
partial
¶ Flag to indicate whether or not the bitstream is partial.
Type: bool
-
bit_data
¶ Dictionary storing information about the bitstream.
Type: dict
-
binfile_name
¶ The absolute path or name of the bin file as a string.
Type: str
-
firmware_path
¶ The absolute path of the bin file in the firmware folder.
Type: str
-
timestamp
¶ Timestamp when loading the bitstream. Format: year, month, day, hour, minute, second, microsecond
Type: str
-
download
(parser=None)[source]¶ Download the bitstream onto PL and update PL information.
If device tree blob has been specified during initialization, this method will also insert the corresponding device tree blob into the system. This is same for both full bitstream and partial bitstream.
Note
For partial bitstream, this method does not guarantee isolation between static and dynamic regions.
Returns: Return type: None
-
insert_dtbo
(dtbo=None)[source]¶ Insert dtbo file into the system.
A simple wrapper of the corresponding method in the PL class. If dtbo is None, self.dtbo will be used to insert the dtbo file. In most cases, users should just ignore the parameter dtbo.
Parameters: dtbo (str) – The relative or absolute path to the device tree segment.
