D:\SETUP\Xilinx\14.4\ISE_DS\EDK\sw\lib\bsp,the D:\SETUP\Xilinx\14.4\ISE_DS\EDK is the path where your edk software located in. it should like this:
In the same way, extract the zynq-7000-ucosii-demo.zip and copy the contents: ucosii_demo into D:\SETUP\Xilinx\14.4\ISE_DS\EDK\sw\lib\sw_apps and it should look like the one below:
- Start the Xilinx PlanAhead application and create a new project named ucos_demo in F:\PLCPro\Projects, the figure below indicates the project setting:

As the ucos ii prints the run time message via uart1 peripheral, you need ensure the uart1 enabled and uart0 disabled.
- Close the XPS and turn back to PlanAhead.
- PlanAhead updates the changes in system.xmp automatically according to your changes in XPS. Right click on the System(system.xmp) item and select Create TOP HDL item. Wait for a moment. The system_stub(system_stub.v) occurs. Actually, you need NOT to Create the system_stub(system_stub.v) item as the Xilinx Soft Development Kit need the sytem.xml only.

Double click the system.xml file and the contents is display in the center view.
we can find the ps7_uart1_0 item in the figure above.
- Click File>New>Xilinx C Project, name the new project as ucos_app and select the OS Platform: ucosii , as shown below:
Click Next, choose the uCos-II demo and click Finish. The Project Explorer is shown as follows:
- As we notice a small error flag occurred in the proect name:ucos_app and ucos_app_bsp, it's because the include files of ucos-ii can NOT be found out. We should import the paths for ucos-ii. Right click on the ucos-ii_demo_setting.xml and select Property , copy the Location path in the below box.
- Right click on the project name: ucos_app and select C/C++ General>Paths and Symbols >Import settings, paste the clipboard into Setting file as shown in below figure:
- on the Project:ucos_app, right click clean project and then click build project. console tab is shown as follows:
SOLUTION:
Add a new C source file to the ucos_app project and type the following:
#include "xparameters.h"
void outbyte(char ch)
{
XUartPs_SendByte(XPAR_XUARTPS_0_BASEADDR,ch);
}
- Ensure the following setting:
- JP7-JP11: all connect to GND
- Power adapter is connected and USB-UART is connected to PC
- PORG is connected to PC
Turn on zedboard .
- Right click on the project : ucos_app and select Run as >Run configuration, in the STDIO Connection tab select Connect STDIO to console:
