5.0 Overview of Xilinx Vivado and Vitis Tools
Zynq Ult MPSoC is designed with the idea of using the right engine
for the right task. The Zynq Ult comes with a versatile Processing
System (PS) integrated with a highly flexible and high-performance
Programmable Logic (PL) section, all on a single System on Chip (SoC). The
Zynq Ult MPSoC PS block includes engines such as the following:
• Dual-core Arm Cortex-A53 based Application Processing Unit (APU)
• Dual-core Arm Cortex-R5 based Real Time Processing Unit (RPU)
• Dedicated Platform Management Unit (PMU) and Configuration Security
Unit (CSU.
To simplify the design process for such sophisticated devices, Xilinx offers
the Vivado Design Suite, Vitis IDE, and PetaLinux Tools for Linux. This set of
tools provides you with everything you need to simplify embedded system
design for a device that merges an SoC with an FPGA. This combination of
tools enables hardware and software application design, code execution and
debug, and transfer of the design onto APZU board for verification and
validation.
5.0.1 APZU Testing Hardware Requirements
To test and run the Zynq Ult APZU-30X board, you need the
following hardware items:
• APZU-30X board
• AcroPack Carrier card
• 5028-626 APZU BREAKOUT PANEL
• USB Type-A to USB Micro cable (for UART communications)
• USB JTAG cable for programming and debugging via JTAG connection
• Ethernet cable to connect target board with host machine.
5.0.2 Vitis Integrated Design Environment and Vivado Design Suite
Ensure that you have the Vitits 2020.1 software development platform
installed. The Vitis IDE is a Xilinx unified tool which comes with all the
hardware and software as a package. If you install the Vitis IDE, you will
automatically get both the Vivado Design Suite and the Vitis IDE. You do not
have to make any extra selections in the installer. The installation and
selection window is shown below for the Windows Self Extracting Web
Installer.
The AcroPack Zynq module is supported by Vitis WebPack which is free from
Xilinx.
