build fails because fsbl.elf is searched in wrong dir

Part of the error log looks like this:

[ERROR]  : Can't read file - build/sdk/fsbl/Release/fsbl.elf
make: *** [Makefile:96: build/boot.bin] Error 1

and the error seems obvious. It is looking for the fsbl.elf file in the build/sdk/fsbl/Release/ but instead that file is built in build/sdk/fsbl/Debug/.

Just doing something like ln -s Debug Release in build/sdk/fsbl/ fixes the issue right away and the build completes successfully.

I guess a good clue is that it said at some point it states "Build of configuration Debug for project fsbl" but I am not sure where that comes from.

Nevertheless, this has to be fixed somewhere so we don't have to do workarounds to build.

add sdk configapp -app fsbl build-config release to scripts/create_fsbl_project.tcl file

I bet you using Vivado Version != 2016.2 ? Right now only 2016.2 is supported.

[bogdanr]

@mhennerich You are correct. I was using 2016.4 When do you plan to update to a newer version since that one is not really supported anymore?

[mhennerich]

The update is tied to our release process.

https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/hdl/releases

Right now plutosdr-fw uses the hdl_2016_r2 release branch. Supported tools version for this release are:

Vivado 2016.2

Once our release testing for hdl_2017_r1 finished - plutosdr-fw will move to it. Supported tools version for this release will be

Vivado 2016.4

This commit e429d24483e67ae7794fbfe1eaf7e6336881eea5 should fix the fsbl.elf Debug/Release folder issue. Closed.
