Embedded Linux and System Integration for Zynq

This two-day training course will give attendees hands-on experience in creating and customizing an embedded Linux^® system for their custom target using Zynq^®. Topics include:

Creating a reference design in Vivado and SDK
Software anatomy of a Zynq^® system
Zynq build system
Building a custom Linux image for Zynq
Integrating user space device drivers in Simulink

See detailed course outline

Prerequisites

Programming Xilinx Zynq SoCs with MATLAB and Simulink.

Day 1 of 2
Creating Reference Design in Vivado and SDK	Objective: Create a Vivado^® block diagram and SDK project to target PL and PS. Building a Vivado Block diagram to target PL Exporting hardware to SDK and creating board support package Creating a software application for ARM Automating build process through Tcl scripts
Software Anatomy of a Zynq System	Objective: Understand various software components like FSBL, u-boot, kernel, user-space. Overview of embedded Linux Understanding various components of boot image
Zynq Build System	Objective: Understand various software components to form a system image and an automation process. Understanding system boots Generating various binary files, including .elf, .bit, and open source build with buildroot Understanding storage device layout Using a MathWorks build system to have easy hooks for customization of bitstream/FSBL, devicetree and Kernel configuration

Day 2 of 2
Zynq Build System (Continued)	Objective: Create a custom linux image with device drivers for various PL and PS integrated peripherals. Updating devicetree to include new mappings Modifying kernel to turn on a driver Creating boot.bin and generating custom SD card image
Integrating User Space Device Drivers in Simulink	Objective: Integrate device driver C code for peripherals in Simulink to communicate with the custom Linux image. Overview of the generated C code main function, scheduler timing and POSIX threads Creating a custom System object^™ Using coder.ceval and System objects for C code integration Interacting with custom Linux images from Simulink Creating a standalone application as part of boot image
