This document will focus on using TySOM board in Xilinx Vivado tool which enables adding a custom hardware IP core to the project. This possibility demonstrates the power of Zynq chips and Aldec boards what is out of reach for standard processors. Additionally, FPGA chips consume less energy than processors, so the boards can be used in embedded application with battery power supply. This document provides information how to use Aldec TySOM board in Xilinx Vivado tool.

This document will focus on using TySOM board in Xilinx Vivado tool which enables adding a custom hardware IP core to the project. This possibility demonstrates the power of Zynq chips and Aldec boards what is out of reach for standard processors. In case of using SDx, we have prepared another tutorial on how to use TySOM boards in Xilinx SDx.

Internet usage has expanded to a new mode: device to device. This new mode is used in Internet of Things (IoT) applications and devices are called IoT gateways. The Aldec TySOM contains a Zynq-7000 SoC with ARM processor and a variety of interfaces to be utilized as an IoT gateway device. This document provides all necessary information about the Aldec IoT demo project with the TySOM-1-7Z030 board.

Zynq-7000 SoC does not include the mechanism to store a per-board unique network MAC address. Therefore, a duplicate MAC address can result in network conflicts when several boards are trying to use the same MAC. A U-boot application, which is a typical kernel bootloader for embedded Linux, can be used to assign and keep the unique MAC address using on-board QSPI flash memory.

The Petalinux provides all necessary tools to build a custom operating system for Embedded solutions for the board with Xilinx Zynq chips.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to run your hardware and software application on the TySOM-1-7Z030 board using a microSD card as the boot method. The microSD card is used when you want your application to be persistent despite any power cycling. In this situation, the board will boot from the microSD card.

In this tutorial, you'll learn how to use AWS IoT Greengrass Core with TySOM board and connect the board to the AWS cloud.

Pre-configured SDSoC Board Support Packages (BSP) for Aldec TySOM series boards coupled with FMC-ADAS daughter cards enable x5 BlueEagle camera links with 1280x720 default image resolution. Some reference applications provided by Aldec may require special 960x540 image resolution which can be forced from Linux devicetree description. This document provides step-by-step instructions describing image resolution switch process.

IR sensors are highly useful for contactless human body temperature measurements, which is one of the main safety precautions during the COVID-19 pandemic. Combining thermal sensor data with standard camera image and AI-based computer vision algorithms allows to automate and significantly improve the overall temperature screening process.

Hardware and software parts of embedded design can be successfully debugged separately using modern EDA tools. But when it takes to run both sides together, new system-level issues may appear. This tutorial shows how to use Xilinx SDK to create Linux userspace application and efficiently co-debug it with Vivado Logic Analyzer

The growing complexity of modern SoC designs along with the complexity of separate reusable IP cores requires SoC engineers to be familiar with the functional verification tools and approaches. This tutorial presents a step-by-step guide to involve Aldec Riviera-PROTM and ALINT-PROTM tools for the TySOM embedded development flow needs.

This document describes how to prepare a microSD card to use as a boot medium for running embedded Linux on a TySOM board. The preferable model of microSD card is 16 GB class 10 card. It provides enough disk space and read/write access performance needed to run Desktop Linux based on Ubuntu 12.11 Linaro image. It is assumed that the user is running a Linux based OS host workstation and is familiar with basic command line commands and tools.
