GPIO Test Demo
1.
At power on the Zynq boot ROM samples the boot mode strapping pins and
determines the boot method. Once the boot method is determined the boot ROM will
search the boot media for the BOOT.BIN file and attempt to execute the First Stage
Boot Loader (FSBL). The FSBL will then configure the PL if a bitstream is found
and hand over system execution to the application executable. When booting from
SD card this process may take 10-15 seconds. You should see the following on the
serial console when the system has completed booting:

You are now ready to run the GPIO test software application. The steps to run the
application are the same as running the demo you probably used earlier, except the
system has now booted from the SD card and the steps of configuring the PL with the
hardware bitstream and starting the application executable happened automatically at
power on. Leave the terminal window open when you are done. We will reuse this
terminal session again later.
