Zynq® UltraScale+™ MPSoC for the Software Developer
Zynq® UltraScale+™ MPSoC for the Software Developer
This two-day course is structured to provide 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.
Skills Gained
After completing this comprehensive training, you will know how to:
- 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
Course Outline
Day 1
- Zynq® UltraScale+™ MPSoC Application Processing Unit
Introduction to the members of the APU, specifically the Cortex®-A53 processor and how the cluster is configured and managed. - Zynq® UltraScale+™ MPSoC Real-Time Processing Unit
Introduction to the various elements within the RPU and different modes of configuration. - ARM™ TrustZone Technology
Illustrates the use of the ARM™ TrustZone technology. - QEMU
Introduction to the Quick Emulator, which is the tool used to run software for the Zynq® UltraScale+™ MPSoC device when hardware is not available. - Zynq® UltraScale+™ MPSoC HW-SW Virtualization
Covers the hardware and software elements of virtualization. The lab demonstrates how hypervisors can be used. - Multiprocessor Software Architecture
Introduces several potential architectures and illustrate the strengths of each. - Xen Hypervisor (pairs with OpenAMP, but not SMP)
Description of generic hypervisors and discussion of some of the details of implementing a hypervisor using Xen. - OpenAMP (pairs with the Xen Hypervisor, but not SMP)
Introduction to the concept of OpenAMP. - Linux
Discussion and examples showing how to configure Linux to manage multiple processors.
Day 2
- Yocto
Compares and contrasts the kernel building methods between a "pure" Yocto build and the PetaLinux build (which uses Yocto "under-the-hood") - Open Source Library
Introduction to open-source Linux and the effort and risk-reducing PetaLinux tools. - FreeRTOS
Overview of FreeRTOS with examples of how it can be used. - Zynq® UltraScale+™ MPSoC Software Stack
Introduction to what a software stack is and a number of stacks used with the Zynq® UltraScale+™ MPSoC. - Zynq® UltraScale+™ MPSoC PMU
Investigation into the the tools and techniques for debugging a Zynq® UltraScale+™ MPSoC device. - Zynq® UltraScale+™ MPSoC Power Management
Overview of the PMU and the power-saving features of the device. - Zynq® UltraScale+™ MPSoC Booting
How to implement the embedded system, including the boot process and boot image creation.
