- TftpSubStepFrame.set_step_skipped(): ◌ Skip in WARNING color
- _reload_config(): suppress callbacks to avoid duplicate log/status wipe
- _log_all_file_info(): removed clear_info(), updates in-place per-key
- Removed duplicate _log_file_info method
- main_frame grid: uniform col group for strict 7:3 ratio
- FileSelector browse title shows expected file type hint
- boot_wait_delay: default 10→30s
- Step 4 IP fallback: ping first, then UDP scan, extra boot_delay retry
- _relative_path(): replace Path.relative_to() with os.path.relpath()
(ValueError crossing filesystems silently returned absolute paths)
- _sync_config_from_ui(): always derive relative from get_path() absolute,
never trust stale FileSelector._relative_path after Browse
- validate_paths(): check all file paths exist on startup, clear missing
- Clear UI selectors after validation to prevent re-save of stale paths
- _load_config(): auto-create blank config.yaml when missing on disk
- .gitignore: add config.yaml (user-specific, must not be tracked)
Step 1 now compares detected part (e.g. XC7Z035) against config's
zynq_part. If mismatch: log error, return False to block subsequent
steps. Also returns False when no Zynq detected (was always True).
Previously the TCL script relied on Vivado's connect_hw_server to
auto-start hw_server. On Windows this either never worked (hw_server
never shows in Task Manager) or hung indefinitely during Vivado's
slow batch-mode initialisation.
Root cause: hw_server was never started.
Changes:
- vitis_checker.py: add 'hw_server' to TOOL_ALIASES + get_hw_server_path()
- zynq_checker.py: start hw_server via Popen before Vivado, kill in finally
- 2s sleep for port binding after start
- timeout from config.step_timeouts.check_env (default bumped to 120s)
- clean terminate/kill sequence in finally
- config_manager.py: check_env default 30 → 120s
Config:
- Add boot_wait_delay (default 10s) for post-reboot wait time
Layout:
- Restore row weights for proportional scaling when maximized
- CTkScrollableFrame handles overflow when window is small
Step 3:
- Log xsct/vivado tool output (last 20 lines per result)
for detailed diagnostics
Step 4:
- UART boot wait: monitor for IP/version via UART after reboot
- If UART unavailable, fall back to config.boot_wait_delay
- Reduces unnecessary wait time when boot is detected early
Serial:
- Real-time port validation on selection change (CTkComboBox command)
- Persistent UART unavailable warning until valid port selected
- Auto-restart UART monitor on port switch
- Graceful cross-platform handling
Configuration panel now has a 'Xilinx Kit:' row at the top with:
- Entry field showing current path
- [Browse] button using system directory dialog (cross-platform)
- Select root directory (e.g. /data/xilinx or C:/Xilinx)
vitis_checker.py now scans xilinx_root subdirectories:
1. System PATH (shutil.which) — works on all platforms
2. Legacy vitis_path/bin
3. xilinx_root/Vitis/*/bin and Vivado/*/bin (all versions, newest first)
4. Common install paths (Windows: C:/Xilinx, Linux: /data/xilinx, /opt/xilinx)
Multi-version: scans all version directories under Vitis/ and Vivado/,
picks the newest version for each tool.
Config: xilinx_path replaces vitis_path (backward compat kept)
Based on real hardware timing data from XC7Z100 testing:
UART Monitoring:
- New UartMonitor class in serial_monitor.py: background thread reads
serial output continuously, parses for IP/version/boot messages
- GUI starts monitor when workflow runs, stops on completion/close
- Serial lines flow into log display in real time
Step Timing:
- New step_timeouts config (experience × 2):
check_env:30s flash_erase:120s flash_program:600s
bitstream:60s elf_download:60s tftp_reboot:120s
- GUI shows estimated timeout before each step
- Shows actual elapsed time after each step completes
- All subprocess calls now use config-driven timeouts
Non-blocking Output:
- New subprocess_utils.py: run_streaming() uses Popen + threaded
stdout/stderr readers, parses WARNING/ERROR/progress% in real time
- flash_programmer and bitstream_programmer use it
- Callbacks receive categorized events (out/err/warn/error/progress/done)
- Rename bit_path -> bootloader_bit_path for clarity
- Rename elf_path -> bootloader_elf_path for clarity
- Split single bin_path into bootloader_bin_path (flash) and
firmware_bin_path (TFTP upload)
- Reorder Configuration panel: BIT -> ELF -> Bootloader BIN ->
Firmware BIN
- Update display names with file extensions and context labels
- Update all step references (Step 2 flash, Step 3 bootloader,
Step 4 TFTP) to use new field names
