This document and the accompanying files illustrate how SPI and I2C devices can easily be used with MiniZed. For Standalone implementations, Xilinx example code is adapted, while for Linux the i2cdev and spidev drivers are used. On-board sensors are used via I2C, while an SPI component in the PL is used to change an LED. You can follow step-by-step examples for building the Vivado, SDK and PetaLinux projects under both Windows and Linux.
This archive includes MiniZed boot files, created in PetaLinux, built specifically with the drivers and APIs to communicate with the Avnet MiniZed Support Package for Simulink running on a host PC.
New to this idea? Read on.
The Avnet MiniZed Support Package for Simulink makes it easy to program the board using C and HDL code generation directly from Simulink®. Communicate with the deployed model on MiniZed during runtime over Ethernet or WiFi. You can find the support package in MATLAB using Add-On Explorer, or by searching the MATLAB File Exchange.
This tutorial demonstrates how to use the PS SPI Controller to connect to a MAX31855 PMOD.
This tutorial demonstrates how to use the PL AXI Quad SPI Contoller to connect to a MAX31723 PMOD.
This tutorial demonstrates how to use the PS I2C Controller to connect to a MAX44000 PMOD.
This tutorial demonstrates how to use the PL I2C Controller to connect to a MAX44000 PMOD.
This document discusses the Bluetooth Low Energy demo apps for MiniZed under both iOS and Android. Learn how to install the apps and install the GATT server on MiniZed. You can read about how the apps were designed, built and released. Also learn how you can use Bluetooth Classic to play audio files from MiniZed to your Bluetooth speaker.
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.
After Hello World is working, you can move on to more advanced applications to test the memory and all the peripherals on MiniZed.
Design and Certification guidelines for re-using the Murata Type 1DX Wi-Fi and Bluetooth module that is used on MiniZed.
This reference design and tutorial presents a hardware-based implementation for Pulse-Density Modulation (PDM) decoding and audio signal reconstruction for the ST MP45DT02 MEMS microphone connected to the Zynq®-7000 AP SoC on the Avnet MiniZed™ Starter Kit. It can directly take the one-bit over-sampled PDM data output from the microphone and convert it to 16-bit pulse-code modulation (PCM) in two’s-complement format at a decimated sampling rate suitable for audio. Special emphasis is placed on efficient DSP techniques for optimal resource-sharing within the limited programmable logic of the XC7Z007 SoC device.
MiniZed OTA Demo's
A guide to using a simple Python script to control a basic web server that allows a user to modify GPIO in the MiniZed PS and PL from a browser interface over Wi-Fi.
This lab demonstrates the steps needed to create a SDSoC platform and application that processes streaming data received from an external source. A programmable counter located in the programmable logic (PL) will be used to model the external source. In reality, the external source may be an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) or some other off-chip device, but for simplicity we will model the external source with a programmable counter. The counter is programmed over an AXI4-Lite interface by the software portion of our SDSoC application running in the Zynq processing system (PS). The counter output feeds an AXI4-Stream data FIFO which is accessed by our SDSoC application to move data from PL to PS.
This reference design takes advantage of the TDNext Pmod. http://zedboard.org/product/tdnext-126mpixel-pmod-camera-kit
Compressed Xilinx SDSoC Platform for Avnet Zynq system.
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
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.
Zipped archive of the Vivado hardware platform project and the SDK Applications workspace.
The first step in creating a design for MiniZed is to create the Zynq Hardware Platform in Vivado.
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.
Compressed PetaLinux BSPs for Avnet Zynq system platforms.
These tutorials provide a means to integrate several different technologies on a single platform. Using the Avnet target boards, we have the power of ARM 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.
