Alex, please see my comments below.
asking the question I mean how .rmi file translates in fpga bit file.
.
*u2plus_umtrx_v2.bit* - FPGA image with built in ZPU bootloader. This image
needed for you if you wish flash fpga by using programming cable (Xilinx
Platform Cable USB, Digilent JTAG HS1 Programming Cable, etc.)
*usrp2p_txrx_uhd.bin* - ZPU image. You can download this image into SPI
flash over Ethernet by this command:
*./usrp_n2xx_net_burner.py --addr=<ip address> --fw=usrp2p_txrx_uhd.bin*
after zpu toolchain we have usrp2p_txrx_uhd.bin, convert it to
Yes.
> How include in fpga only zpu loader, not zpu image?
Please, use this command after building ZPU
firmware:
cp <UHD-dir>/firmware/zpu_build/usrp2p/bootloader/bootloader.rmi
<UHD-path>/fpga/usrp2/top/N2x0/bootloader_umtrx.rmi
And where i can see flash map?
bootloader_utils.h<https://github.com/chemeris/UHD-Fairwaves/blob/fairwa…
SPI flash which stores FPGA work and safe images and work ZPU image.
P.S. Please, use in further "Reply to all" to keep informed of all in
umtrx(a)lists.osmocom.org. This may be interesting for other people's.

Andrew Karpenkov

After loading fpga, contents load in ram and begin
executing?
Fpga image already contain ZPU bootloader image (bootloader.rmi or
bootloader_umtrx.rmi). After loading FPGA, ZPU automaticaly have bootloader
firmware in internal RAM.
This
<https://github.com/chemeris/UHD-Fairwaves/blob/fairwaves/umtrx/fpga/usrp2/top/N2x0/u2plus_core.v#L433>lines
in u2plus_core.v correspond for this.
Have you ise project file for umtrx_v2 without useless files?
I'm not sure that correctly understand you. What you mean under useless
files? Files that isn't connected with top module file or what?
How i can find which modules are unused?
In this doc: https://code.google.com/p/umtrx/wiki/BootingAndSafeMode
what means "FPGA image with built in ZPU
bootloader" and "ZPU image" ?
at http://people.osmocom.org/ipse/umtrx-v2/current/
we can found 3 files:
u2plus_umtrx_v2.bin - ?
u2plus_umtrx_v2.bit - FPGA image with built in ZPU bootloader?
usrp2p_txrx_uhd.bin - ZPU image?
*u2plus_umtrx_v2.bin* - FPGA image with built in ZPU bootloader. You can
download this image into SPI flash over Ethernet by this command:
*./usrp_n2xx_net_burner.py --addr=<ip address> --fpga=u2plus_umtrx_v2.bin*
You can read more about UmTRX booting process at this
page<http://umtrx.org/hardware/booting/ bootloader.rmi and include it to fpga project
No, usrp2p_txrx_uhd.bin is used only for programming ZPU firmware image
into flash. You need only bootloader.rmi file which you can find at this
directory firmware\zpu\build\usrp2p\bootloader\ after compiling ZPU
firmware.
after building we have fpga image with built in zpu image?
After loading fpga, contents load in ram and begin
executing?
