Zynq UltraScale+™ MPSoC : Hardware and Software Design

(ref.E_ZUPSW)

2 days - 14 hours

Objectives

  • This course provides software developers with a catalog of OS implementation options, including hypervisors, various Linux implementations, booting and configuring a system, and power management for the Zynq® UltraScale+™ MPSoC family.
  • After completing this comprehensive training, you will have the necessary skills to:
    • Enumerate the key elements of the application processing unit (APU) and real-time processing unit (RPU)
    • List the various power domains and how they are controlled
    • Describe the connectivity between the processing system (PS) and programmable logic (PL)
    • Utilize QEMU to emulate hardware behavior
    • Distinguish between asymmetric multi-processing (AMP) and symmetric multi-processing (SMP) environments
    • Identify situations when the ARM® TrustZone technology and/or a hypervisor should be used
    • Effectively use power management strategies and leverage the capabilities of the platform management unit (PMU)
    • Define the boot sequences appropriate to the needs of the system
    • Define the underlying implementation of the application processing unit (APU) and real-time processing unit (RPU) to make best use of their capabilities
