Utilities

This module contains utilities for ADI prototyping platforms, used by development teams and automation systems for repetitive tasks like SD card management.

SD Card BOOT Files

sd-move

Switch a running board to a different reference design by moving the appropriate boot files into the SD card root:

adidtc -i analog.local -c remote_sd sd-move zynq-zc706-adv7511-fmcdaq2 -r

Options:

• -r / --reboot — Reboot the board after moving files

• -s / --show — Print commands as they run

• -d / --dry-run — Show what would be done without executing

sd-remote-copy

Copy local boot files (BOOT.BIN, image.ub, custom DTBs, etc.) to a remote board’s SD card over SSH:

adidtc -i 192.168.2.1 -c remote_sd sd-remote-copy BOOT.BIN,image.ub -r

Pass a comma-separated list of local file paths. The same -r, -s, and -d flags are available.

Python API

from adidt import dt

# Switch reference design on a remote board
d = dt(dt_source="remote_sd", ip="192.168.2.1")
d.update_existing_boot_files("zynq-zc706-adv7511-fmcdaq2")

# Copy custom boot files to a remote board
d = dt(dt_source="remote_sd", ip="192.168.2.1")
d.copy_local_files_to_remote_sd_card(["BOOT.BIN", "image.ub"])
