Zynq 7000 SoC for the Hardware Designer - LIVE ONLINE

This online course introduces you to building the hardware platform for the Zynq 7000 SoC. It also iterates on the Xilinx Vitis and Vivado toolchain. You will learn how to configure the processing system  (PS) and strategies to deploy the programmable logic to enhance the already large base of IPs provided there. The AXI components and capabilities are introduced.

The basic concepts of software development with Vitis are taught to provide understanding into HW and SW interaction with focus on bring up, simulation and debugging.

The theoretical content is supplemented by exercises carried out by the participant.
 

Duration: 4 mornings of 4 hours each

Times:    9.00 a.m. - 11.00 a.m.    Lecture part 1

              11.00 a.m. - 11.15 a.m.  15 minute break

              11.15 a.m. - 1.15 p.m.    Lecture part 2
