Getting Started with Zynq

This guide will provide a step by step walk-through of importing a custom IP into Vivado and getting started in Xilinx SDK.

At the end of this tutorial you will have:

• Imported and implemented a custom DigiLEDs IP block into the design.

• Created .C Project in Xilinx Vivado SDK ( Software Development Kit) to interface with the Zedboard.

• Familiarity with Vivado
• Block Design Experience

• Digilent Zedboard Board
• Micro USB Cable
  • Used for UART communication and JTAG programming
• Programmable RGB LEDs (WS2812, Neopixels)
  • Data-in Signal wire connected to Zedboard's JB1

• Xilinx Vivado 2016.2 with the SDK package.
  • Follow this Wiki guide (Installing Vivado ) on how to install and activate Vivado

• Zedboard Support Files
  • These files will describe GPIO interfaces on your board and make it easier to select your FPGA board and add GPIO IP blocks.
  • Follow this Wiki guide (Vivado Board Files for Digilent 7-Series FPGA Boards ) on how to install Board Support Files for Vivado.
