The Base TRD showcases various features and capabilities of the Zynq Z-7020 AP SoC for the
embedded domain in a single package. The Base TRD consists of two processing elements:
The Zynq-7000 AP SoC processing system (PS) and an interconnect logic-based video
accelerator. The AP SoC allows the user to implement a specific functionality either as a
software program running on the Zynq-7000 AP SoC PS or as a hardware design inside the
programmable logic (PL). The Base TRD demonstrates how the user can seamlessly switch
between a software or a hardware implementation, contributing to ease of use. The TRD also
demonstrates the value of offloading computation-intensive tasks onto PL, thereby freeing
the CPU resources to be available for user-specific applications.
The ZC702 evaluation kit and ZVIK come with an SD card loaded with binaries that enable
the user to run the video demonstration and software application. It also includes the
binaries necessary to configure and boot the Zynq-7000 AP SoC board.
