Embedded System Design Flow on Zynq using Vivado

After completing this workshop, you will be able to:

• Rapidly architect an embedded system targeting the ARM processor of Zynq located on ZedBoard using Vivado and IP Integrator
• Extend the hardware system with Xilinx provided peripherals
• Create a custom peripheral and add it to the system
• Write a software application to access peripherals
• Perform IP-level Bus Functional simulation verification

Day 1:

• Introduction to Embedded System Design using Zynq
• Lab 1: Simple Hardware Design
  • Create a Vivado project and use IP Integrator to develop a basic embedded system for a target board.
• Zynq Architecture
• Extending the Embedded System into Programmable Logic
• Lab 2: Adding Peripherals in Programmable Logic
  • Extend the hardware system by adding AXI peripherals from the IP catalog.
• Adding Your Own IP Peripheral
• Lab 3: Creating and Adding Your Own Custom IP
  • Use the Manage IP feature of Vivado to create a custom IP and extend the system with the custom peripheral.

Day 2:

• Software Development Environment
• Lab 4: Writing Basic Software Applications
  • Write a basic C application to access the peripherals.
• Software Development and Debugging
• Lab 5: Software Debugging Using SDK
  • Use API to drive CPU's timer. Perform software debugging using SDK.
