Introduction to the course structure and outline of the course sessions
Get our first look at Vivado and create a Vivado HDL design flow, with simulation, and Place/Route
Using the Block Diagram feature of Vivado to create a design, simulate, and build.
A hybrid design combines a Block Diagram with custom HDL components as the most versatile design flow in Vivado.
Adding an Integrated Logic Analyzer Xilinx Core to our design and debugging in hardware
Introducing the SDK for logic designers to create simple test software
Understanding AXI4-Lite and GPIO for interfacing to processor cores in Vivado and SDK
Use Vivado to connect logic to the processor interrupt and identify it in the SDK
Xilinx Vivado can be overwhelming for a logic designer who is creating their first design for a contemporary Xilinx device. This course describes the various design flows, including hdl only flow, block flow and a hybrid of block and hdl. Each flow includes a simulation options, and adding the Integrated Logic Analyzer to a design. We introduce the Vitis SDK to allow the logic designer to create simple test programs, and describe the AXI4-Lite bus which is the most common interface between processor and logic.
