Course Description

The Xilinx® Zynq® All Programmable SoC provides a new level of system design capabilities. This course provides experienced system architects with the knowledge to effectively architect a Zynq All Programmable system on a chip.

This course presents the features and benefits of the Zynq architecture for making decisions on architecting a Zynq All Programmable SoC project. It covers the architecture of the ARM® Cortex®-A9 processor-based processing system (PS) and the integration of programmable logic (PL) at a sufficiently deep level that a system designer can successfully and effectively utilize the Zynq All Programmable SoC.

The course also details the individual components that comprise the PS, I/O peripherals, timers, and caching, as well as the DMA, interrupt, and memory controllers. Emphasis will be placed on effective access and usage of the PS DDR controller from PL user logic, efficient PL-to-PS interfacing, and design techniques, tradeoffs, and advantages of implementing functions in the PS or the PL.

Engineers who need a deeper understanding of the ARM® Cortex®-A9 processor should attend ARM Cortex-A9 for Zynq System Design, which describes the principles and internal details of the Cortex®-A9 processor architecture itself, as opposed to the architecture of the Zynq processing system (PS) of which it is a part.
