In the common/firmware/recovery/board directory there is a .elf file (zc706_host_if.elf) which is loaded onto the target processor when we run go.bat
How is this executable built?  We run vxworks on the ARM processor on the zynq and would like to change your source that builds this elf file.  I am assuming this has the code that receives commands from the PC over the ethernet port and talks to the devices on your FMC board.
What OS is the zynq running?

Dear Sir,


The Zynq OS is a bare metal command interpreter. The command are indeed received from the Ethernet peripheral in the processing system.


star_lib\sip_zc706_host_if\EDK\zc706\sw\zc702_host_if in the firmware source code contain the software, most of the job done in sip.c. This software is a modified LWIP reference software.


Best Regards,
