Tutorial 01 Build the Zynq Hardware Platform

The first step in creating a design for MicroZed/PicoZed 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 Test Applications

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

Tutorial 04 FSBL and Boot from QSPI and SD Card

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

Tutorial 05 Echo Server

This tutorial demonstrates how to use the lwIP library to add networking capability to an embedded system.

Tutorial 06 PS SPI PMOD

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

Tutorial 07 PL SPI Controller

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

Tutorial 08 PS I2C PMOD

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

Tutorial 09 PL I2C PMOD

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

Tutorial 01-09 Solutions

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

Restore/Upgrade QSPI Factory Image

Use this document and archive along with your PicoZed and PicoZed FMC Carrier Card to restore or upgrade the factory test image to the QSPI and eMMC on the PicoZed.

Open Source Linux Ethernet Performance Test Tutorial

Iperf is most commonly used for measuring maximum TCP and UDP bandwidth performance. Iperf allows the tuning of various parameters and UDP characteristics. Iperf also has capability to report bandwidth, delay jitter, and datagram loss.  This tutorial builds upon the Zynq Linux SpeedWay and PetaLinux SpeedWay training material and describes how to build Iperf from source code and use this application for network performance testing on ZedBoard, MicroZed, PicoZed, or UltraZed platforms.

PCIe PIO Demo

This reference design demonstrates how to use the Xilinx PCIe endpoint IP core in PIO mode (Gen 2x1). Device Driver and GUI app are provided to interact with PCIe hardware. Software can control onboard LEDs and monitor button status.

IBERT Design

IBERT Design implemented and tested on the Avnet Zynq PicoZed + PicoZed FMC Carrier Card.
