Tutorial 01 Build a Zynq Hardware Platform

The first step in creating a design for MiniZed is to create the Zynq Hardware Platform in Vivado.

Tutorial 02 First Application - Hello World

After creating the hardware platform, the next step is to import that hardware platform into SDK, create a BSP, create an application, and then run it on the board. This tutorial includes the exported hardware platform from Tutorial 01. For those only interested in the software flow for Zynq, it is appropriate to start with this tutorial.

Tutorial 03 Generate and Run Test Applications

After Hello World is working, you can move on to more advanced applications to test the memory and all the peripherals on MiniZed.

Tutorial 04 FSBL and Boot from QSPI

In this tutorial, we will create the FSBL, and then use it to create a boot image. The boot image will then be stored on QSPI and finally instructions are given for booting.

Tutorial 05 PS SPI PMOD

This tutorial demonstrates how to use the PS SPI Controller to connect to a MAX31855 PMOD.

Tutorial 06 PL SPI Controller

This tutorial demonstrates how to use the PL AXI Quad SPI Contoller to connect to a MAX31723 PMOD.

Tutorial 07 PS I2C PMOD

This tutorial demonstrates how to use the PS I2C Controller to connect to a MAX44000 PMOD.

Tutorial 08 PL I2C PMOD

This tutorial demonstrates how to use the PL I2C Controller to connect to a MAX44000 PMOD.

Tutorial 01-08 Solutions

Zipped archive of the Vivado hardware platform project and the SDK Applications workspace.

TE Connectivity Sensor Pmod Reference Designs

The reference designs below take you through the steps to connect up six various Pmods offered by TE Connectivity. The Pmods are available at avnet.com

Prebuilt Platforms Using Hardware Definition Files (HDFs)

These tutorials offer system developers an example of how to use automated build scripts to configure and build predefined HDFs which can then be used for targeting software applications to a particular hardware configuration.  This offers a considerable convenience to software application developers who may be eager to begin software development activities but may not want to become involved with configuring a hardware platform ahead of time.

PetaLinux Board Support Packages

Compressed PetaLinux BSPs for Avnet Zynq system platforms.

Development Using Ubuntu Desktop Linux

These tutorials provide a means to integrate several different technologies on a single platform.  Using the Avnet target boards, we have the power of a ARM Cortex-A9 processors, combined with the unrivaled flexibility of Xilinx programmable logic to implement custom hardware systems.    We use a Linux kernel as the foundation operating system running on the processor cores which enables a very large ecosystem of software to be run on our development kits. Virtual machines can provide a very convenient Ubuntu development environment for building the hardware platform and cross-compiling software to target the Processing System.
