In this tutorial, you will learn how to use UART to interface the TySOM-1-7Z030 board with other systems. The UART interface enables us to view serial output from the board which can be useful for monitoring. This project has both a hardware and software part.

This document describes the process for building an embedded Linux OS for the Aldec TySOM platform using the Yocto project, an open source collaboration project for creating custom Linux-based systems.

This tutorial provides instructions for using the basic features of the Active-HDL simulator. Active-HDL is an integrated environment designed for development and verification of VHDL, Verilog, System Verilog, EDIF, and System C based designs. In this tutorial we use a Sample VHDL design called PressController from the Active-HDL installation to perform design entry and simulation.

An HDL code breakpoint can be set in HDL source files that are VHDL, Verilog, and SystemVerilog. A breakpoint can also be set in OVA and PSL code, for example in lines that contain assert or cover statements.

Active-HDL users have access o a rich set of debugging tools that enables quick ways to detect and diagnose design issues.

XTrace tool creates a report with information on unknown values in the simulated model.

Active-HDL provides a built-in interface that allows the integration of MathWork’s intuitive language and a technical computing environment with Aldec's HDL-based simulation environment.

This tutorial explains how to use Assertions in Active-HDL.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a hardware project in Xilinx’s Vivado Design Suite and create a software project in Xilinx’s SDK for the TySOM-1-7Z030 board. First you will create the hardware part, then you will create a software application to blink the onboard LEDs using standalone OS. In the Zynq architecture, you are able to implement the design either in a bare metal mode or by using an embedded Linux OS platform.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a hardware project in Xilinx’s Vivado Design Suite and create a software project in Xilinx’s SDK for the TySOM-1-7Z030 board. First you will create the hardware part, then you will create a software application to blink the onboard LEDs using onboard switches. At the end of this tutorial, you will also learn how to program the project onto the TySOM-1-7Z030 board using a JTAG programmer. To program the FPGA using a microSD card, you can follow the “Programming the TySOM-1-7Z030 board using a microSD card guide”.

This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions on how to use Spec-TRACER to meet the DO-254 objectives for requirements traceability.

An interrupt is a signal that temporarily halts the processor’s current activities and demands immediate attention. The processor saves its current state and executes an interrupt service routine to address the reason for the interrupt. Real-time designs require interrupts because many systems will have a number of inputs (e.g. keyboards, mouse, pushbuttons etc.) that will require processing. Inputs from these devices are generally asynchronous to the execution of running processes or tasks, so you cannot always predict when the event will occur. Using interrupts enables the processor to continue processing until an event occurs, at which time the processor can address the event. This interrupt-driven approach also speeds up the response time. This basic GPIO interrupt design is intended to enable GPIO interrupts to users on the TySOM-1-7Z030 board. The standard flow includes several stages to create a hardware platform for the Zynq-7000 based board.

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.

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.

This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions on how to create reports using the Spec-TRACER Report Manager. Reports make it easier for users to be able to show information relative to requirement specifications introduced into the Spec-TRACER Client.
