Model-Based Reference Design Projects with MathWorks' HDL Workflow Advisor for Custom-Specific Electronics with the Zedboard

摘要

Reference design projects are implemented to the Xilinx Zynq on the Zedboard which is extended by user defined electronic hardware connected through the Zedboard's FMC (FPGA Mezzanine Card) connector. The implementation method with HDL Workflow Advisor includes constraint definitions for modified reference design projects for use with digital input and outputs and Zynq's XADC (Analog-Digital converter) which is characterized and compared to its data sheet. The bandwidth of the Zynq's internal AXI (Advanced eXtensible Interface) bus connected to the Simulink host PC is determined.
