Chapter 1
Introduction
About This Guide
This document provides an introduction to using the Xilinx® Vivado® Design Suite flow for
using the Zynq®-7000 All Programmable SoC. The examples are targeted for the Xilinx
ZC702 Rev 1.1 evaluation board and the tool version used is Vivado and the Xilinx Software
Development Kit (SDK) 2015.3.
Note:
To install SDK as part of the Vivado Design Suite, you must elect to include SDK in the installer.
See Xilinx Software Development Kit, page 8.
The examples in this document were created using the Xilinx tools running on Windows 7,
64-bit operating system. Other versions the tools running on other Window installs might
provide varied results. These examples focus on introducing you to the following aspects of
embedded design:
Note:
The sequence mentioned in the tutorial steps (Chapters 5 through 7) for booting Linux on
the hardware is specific to the PetaLinux tool chain released for 2015.2, which must be installed on
the Linux host machine for exercising the Linux portions of this document.
• Chapter 1, Introduction provides a general overview.
• Chapter 2, Using the Zynq SoC Processing System describes creation of a system with
the Zynq SoC Processing System (PS) and running a simple "Hello World" application.
This chapter is an introduction into the hardware and software tools using a simple
design as the example.
• Chapter 3, Using the GP Port in Zynq Devices describes how to create a system using
the Zynq SoC PS and the Programmable Logic (PL, or "fabric") and how to use a simple
application to exercise both the PS and PL.
• Chapter 4, Debugging with SDK provides an introduction into debugging software
using the debug features of the Xilinx Software Development Kit (SDK). This chapter
uses the previous design and runs the software bare metal (without an OS) to show
how to debug.
• Chapter 5, Using the HP Slave Port with AXI CDMA IP provides information about
booting the Linux OS on the Zynq SoC board and application development with
PetaLinux tools. This chapter also introduces the different devices Zynq SoC can boot
from and how to program these devices.
