This book is a collaboration between Xilinx University Program and a team of authors from the
University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, UK.
Are programmable systems-on-chip (SoC) and hardware design part of your curriculum? Or are
you simply looking to learn more about Zynq, embedded systems, and FPGAs? Do you want to
learn Linux while learning how to design with Vivado HLS? Are you looking for a comparison
of the Zynq FPGA device from Xilinx to other similar products in the marketplace? If you
answered "yes" to any of these questions, then this graphic-rich, full-color, example-laden book
could be just what you are seeking.
Utilizing the Zynq SoC design in conjunction with the Digilent Zybo or the ZedBoard, this book
was written by and for educators. Designed to provide an informational insider's guide to the
Zynq SoC family, "The Zynq Book" sets out to answer questions in simple detail. It uses clear
examples and clean graphics for easier understanding in teaching operating systems and
hardware design.
Catering to both new and experienced readers, this book covers fundamental issues in an
accessible way, starting with a clear overview of the device architecture, and an introduction to
the design tools and processes for developing a Zynq SoC. Later chapters progress to more
advanced topics such as embedded systems development, IP block design and operating systems.
The book also compares Zynq with other device alternatives, and considers end-user
applications. The Zynq Book is accompanied by a set of practical tutorials hosted on a
companion website. These tutorials will guide the reader through first steps with Zynq, following
on to a complete, audio-based embedded systems design.
This book has a companion project book that has tutorials which target two popular Zynq
development boards: the ZedBoard, and the lower cost, Zybo.
Working through, the reader will take first steps with the Vivado integrated development
environment and Software Developers Kit (SDK), and be introduced to the methodology of
developing embedded systems based on Zynq. Different methods of creating Intellectual
Property (IP) cores are demonstrated, including the use of Vivado High Level Synthesis (HLS),
and these IPs are later combined to form a complete audio-based embedded system. These
tutorials are set at the introductory level, and are suitable for undergraduate / postgraduate
teaching, as well as self-learning by researchers, professional engineers, and hobbyists.
