Embedded Designs

AMD and its Ecosystem Partners deliver embedded tools and runtime environments designed to enable you to efficiently and quickly move from concept to release. We provide you with all the components needed to create your embedded system using AMD Zynq™ SoC and AMD Zynq UltraScale+™ MPSoC devices, AMD MicroBlaze™ processor cores, and Arm® Cortex-M1/M3 micro controllers including open source operating systems and bare metal drivers, multiple runtimes and multi-OS environments, sophisticated Integrated Development Environments, and compilers, debuggers, and profiling tools.

This repository provides information about creating embedded designs. The following documents are available.

Introduction

Tutorial	Board	Description
Versal Adaptive SoC Embedded Design Tutorial	Versal VMK180/VCK190/VPK180	Provides an introduction for using the AMD Vivado™ Design Suite flow and the Vitis™ unified software platform for embedded development on Versal™ VMK180/VCK190/VPK180 evaluation boards.
Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC Embedded Design Tutorial	ZCU102 Rev 1.0/1.1	Provides an introduction to using the Vivado Design Suite flow and the Vitis unified software platform for embedded development on an AMD Zynq™ UltraScale+™ MPSoC device.
Zynq-7000 Embedded Design Tutorial	ZC702 Rev 1.0	Provides an introduction to using the Vivado Design Suite flow and the Vitis unified software platform for embedded development on a Zynq-7000 SoC device.

Feature Tutorials

Tutorial	Description
First Stage Boot Loader (FSBL)	First Stage Boot Loader (FSBL) can initialize the SoC device, load the required application or data to memory, and launch applications on the target CPU core. An FSBL is provided in the Vitis platform project (if you enabled creating boot components while creating the platform project), but you are free to create additional FSBL applications as general applications for further modification or debugging purposes.
Programming an Embedded MicroBlaze Processor	Create a simple MicroBlaze™ system for a Spartan™-7 FPGA using Vivado IP integrator.
Profiling Applications with System Debugger	Enable profiling features for the standalone domain or board support package (BSP) and the application related to AXI CDMA, which you created in Linux Booting and Debug in the Vitis Software Platform.

Design Tutorials

Tutorial	Description
Example Setup for a Graphics and DisplayPort Based Sub-System	Demonstrate the configurations, packages, and tool flow required for running designs based on GPU and DP on a Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC device.

Debugging

Tutorial	Description
Vitis Embedded Software Debugging Guide	Provides specific examples of embedded software debug situations and explains how the various Xilinx debug features can help.

User Guides

Tutorial	Description
Vitis Unified Software Platform User Guide System Performance Analysis	Describes the technical details of the performance analysis toolbox, as well as a methodology explaining its usefulness and depth.
Versal Dhrystone Benchmark	Provides step-by-step instructions for generating a reference design for the Dhrystone benchmark and building and running the Dhrystone application.
