Hello folks.
First, I want to say that I have split this how-to into a couple different parts so those of us who are advanced users don't have to fish through too much information to get started here.
You will need to create a PlanAhead project that has an embedded processor within it. You can learn how to do that here.
So here is the first post that is going to bring it all together (hopefully!). We are going to create a project with the Xilinx tools and push it to our Zedboard. I've got butterflies just typing the introduction ... :D
