Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC platforms are well-suited to be embedded Linux targets, and the Genesys ZU is no exception. Digilent

provides a Petalinux project that was used to build the out-of-box image.

The Genesys ZU is fully compatible with Xilinx’s high-performance Vivado® Design Suite HL WebPACK™ Edition. This tool set

melds FPGA logic design and embedded ARM software development into an easy to use, intuitive design flow. It can be used for

designing systems of any complexity, from a complete operating system running multiple server applications, down to a simple bare-

metal program that controls some LEDs. It is also possible to treat the MPSoC as a standalone FPGA for those not interested in using

the processor in their design. The two MPSoC parts the Genesys ZU is available with, XCZU3EG and XCZU5EV, are

supported

(https://www.xilinx.com/products/design-tools/vivado/vivado-webpack.html#architecture) under Vivado's free WebPACK™ license, which

means the software is completely free to use, including the Logic Analyzer and High-level Synthesis (HLS) features. The Logic Analyzer

assists with debugging logic that is running in hardware, and the HLS tool allows C code to be directly compiled into HDL.

In the kit you will also find a free voucher for the Xilinx MIPI CSI-2 IP cores. Follow the instructions on the voucher slip to activate the

license. This is a temporary measure until Vivado 2020.1 hits, which should include a license for these IPs free of charge. See the next

table for IP-support status for other peripherals.
