Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC for the Hardware Designer

Course Description

This one-day course is structured to provide hardware designers with an overview of many of the capabilities and support for the Zynq® UltraScale+™ MPSoC family from a hardware architectural perspective.

Level

Embedded Hardware 3

Training Duration

1 day

Audience

Hardware designers interested in understanding the architecture and capabilities of the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC device

Prerequisites

  • Suggested: Understanding of the Zynq-7000 architecture
  • Basic familiarity with embedded software development using C (to support testing of specific architectural elements)

Software Tools

  • Vivado® Design Suite 2018.1
    • May require special Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC family license
  • Hardware emulation environment:
    • VirtualBox
    • QEMU
    • Ubuntu desktop
    • PetaLinux

Hardware

  • Host computer for running the above software*

* This course focuses on the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC architecture. Check with your local Authorized Training Provider for the specifics of the in-class lab environment or other customizations. The 2017.1 version of this class does not use a physical board,.but rather a local emulation environment and the Vivado Design Suite.

Skills Gained

After completing this comprehensive training, you will have the necessary skills to:

  • Enumerate the key elements of the application processing unit (APU) and real-time processing unit (RPU)
  • List the various power domains and how they are controlled
  • Describe the connectivity between the processing system (PS) and programmable logic (PL)
  • Utilize QEMU to emulate hardware behavior

Topic Descriptions

  • Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC Application Processing Unit – Introduction to the members of the APU, specifically the Cortex™-A53 processor and how the cluster is configured and managed.
  • Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC HW-SW Virtualization – Covers the hardware and software elements of virtualization. The lab demonstrates how hypervisors can be used.
  • Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC Real-Time Processing Unit – Introduction to the various elements within the RPU and different modes of configuration.
  • QEMU – Introduction to the Quick Emulator, which is the tool used to run software for the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC device when hardware is not available.
  • Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC Booting – How to implement the embedded system, including the boot process and boot image creation.
  • Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC System Protection – Covers all the hardware elements that support the separation of software domains.
  • Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC Clocks and Resets – Overview of clocking and reset, focusing more on capabilities than specific implementations.
  • AXI – Understanding how the PS and PL connect enables designers to create more efficient systems.
  • Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC PMU – Overview of the PMU and the power-saving features of the device.
