 +==== 4. Generate HDL Wrapper and Validate Design ====
 +
 +>4.1) Select {{:genesys2:validate.jpg?nolink|}} **Validate Design**. This will check for design and connection errors.
 +
 +>4.2) After the design validation step we will proceed with creating a HDL System Wrapper. In the block design window, under the **Design Sources** tab, right-click on the block diagram file. We labeled it "design_1.bd" and select **Create HDL Wrapper**.
 +>
 +>{{:zybo:generate_hdl_wrapper.png?nolink&400|}}
 +
 +This will create a top module in VHDL and will allow you to generate a bitstream.

 +==== 5. Generate the Bitstream ====
 +
 +>5.1) Click on **Generate Bitstream** at the bottom of the Flow Navigator. Wait for the process to complete and click OK.

 +
 +==== 8. Creating New Application Project in SDK ====
 +
 +>8.1) Go to **File->New->Application Project** in the main toolbar. A new project window will pop up. Give your SDK project a name that has no empty spaces as shown below. Make sure the **Target Hardware** is the correct hardware design. In our case, it will be //design_1_wrapper_hw_platform_0//.
 +>
 +>If for example, you also have another hardware design in the //Project Explorer// window, then you will also see this design name in the Target Hardware drop down selection list. 
 +
 +>Since we only have one hardware design  **design_1_wrapper_hw_platform_0** this will be our target hardware.  Select **Create New** under **Board Support Package**. The tool will automatically populate the **Board Support Package** name to match with the give project name. Click **Next**.

 +
 +>8.2) Select **IwIP Echo Server** under the list of available templates and click **Finish**.

 +>{{:learn:programmable-logic:tutorials:zybo-getting-started-with-zynq-server:echo_server_zynq_6.jpg?direct&600|}}
 +
 +>8.3) After completing the previous step, you will see two new folders in the //Project Explorer// panel. **echo** which contains all the binaries, .c and .h (Header) files, and **echo_bsp** which is the board support folder. **echo** is our main working source folder. This also contains an important file shown here in the src folder called //lscript.ld//. This is a Xilinx auto generated linker script file. 
 +
 +>8.4) Next expand the echo_bsp click on system.mss and select "modify this BSP's Settings"
 +>{{:learn:programmable-logic:tutorials:zybo-getting-started-with-zynq-server:zybo_gswz_server_2.jpg?600|}}
 +
 +>8.5) Next select lwip141 and expand temac_adapter_options. Then in the phy_linkspeed parameter select 1000 Mbps(CONFIG_LINKSPEED1000), click ok.
 +>{{:learn:programmable-logic:tutorials:zybo-getting-started-with-zynq-server:zybo_gswz_server.jpg?600|}}
 +<WRAP round tip 55%>
 +You may need set the phy_linkspeed parameter to 100 Mbps(CONFIG_LINKSPEED100) based on your router settings.

 +
 +==== 9. Programming FPGA with Bit File ====
 +
 +>9.1) Make sure that the Zybo is turned on and connected to the host PC via micro USB cable. On the main toolbar, click **Xilinx Tools->Program FPGA** 
 +>Make sure that the //Hardware Platform// is selected as **design_1_wrapper_hw_platform_0**. 
 +>
 +>In the software configuration box, under //ELF File to Initialize in Block RAM// 
 +>
 +>Now click on Program.

 +==== 10. Tera Term Terminal Emulator ====
 +
 +You can use the SDK concsole or other serial terminal. I typically use Tera Term. Refer to this link [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tera_Term]] to know what Tera Term is.
 +You can download and install Tera Term from this link [[http://ttssh2.sourceforge.jp/index.html.en]] 
 +
 +>10.1) Before establishing a serial connection with Tera Term,  make sure that in SDK, the **Connect STDIO** box under the //STDIO Connection// tab in //Run Configurations// is unchecked.

 +
 +>Tera Term will work as a Console by displaying the output.

 +==== 11. Running the Server ====
 +
 +>11.1) In the console window at the bottom of the screen the details of the connection will be displayed.

 +
 +==== 12. Testing the Server with Tera Term ====
 +
 +>12.1) Connect your PC to your Zybo using an Ethernet cable. **If using a router, watch the UART console to find out the IP of the Zybo echo server, and connect to that IP address. Setting up the connection as static is unnecessary.**
 +
 +>12.2) In order to connect to the echo server directly from your computer, you must set up your Ethernet connection with a static IP address. To do this:
 +
 +>12.2.1) Right click your internet connection and click **Open Network and Sharing Center**.
 +>
 +>{{:nexys4-ddr:server_35.jpg?direct&500|}}
 +
 +>12.2.2) Find the Ethernet Connection to your Zybo. It should be an unidentified network. Click **Ethernet**.
 +>
 +>{{:learn:programmable-logic:tutorials:zybo-getting-started-with-zynq-server:echo_server_zynq_12.jpg?direct&600|}}
 +
 +>12.2.3) Click **Properties**. 
 +>
 +>{{:nexys4-ddr:server_37.jpg?direct&500|}}
 +
 +>12.2.4) Select **Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)** and click **Properties**.
 +>
 +>{{:nexys4-ddr:server_38.jpg?direct&500|}}
 +
 +>12.2.5) Click the **Use the following IP address:** bullet and type in an IP address "192.168.1.XX", where XX is a value between 2 and 255, but not 10. **This IP must not be the same as another already on your network**. Make sure to click within the //Subnet mask// field to get the 255.255.255.0 mask to autofill. Click **Ok** and you will have a static IP address.
 +>
 +>{{:nexys4-ddr:server_39.jpg?direct&500|}}
 +
 +>12.3) Open Tera Term and type in the following info and click **Ok**.
 +>
 +>{{:learn:programmable-logic:tutorials:zybo-getting-started-with-zynq-server:echo_server_zynq_4.jpg?direct&600|}}
 +
 +>12.4) Type anything into the console and press your keyboard's Enter key. The echo server will echo back your input and display it in the console.
 +>
 +>//You can go to Setup->Terminal and change the settings below for a more traditional echo server format//
 +>
 +>{{:nexys4-ddr:11.jpg?direct&500|}}
 +
 +> Remember to go back into **Open Network and Sharing Center** 
  
 +> Select **Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)** and click **Properties**. 
  
 +> Select **obtain an IP address automatically**
