Xilinx Platform Management using Subsystem Technical Reference Designs (TRD’s)

Abstract

Modern embedded processing systems frequently have a diverse set of individually complex requirements, often including application processing, real-time processing, high data bandwidth processing, and requirements for peripherals to handle human-machine interfaces, data I/O, and system control. All of this must be managed within a power budget, and frequently, the power budget varies with the required functions to be performed. Such requirements typically cannot be met by a single type of processor.

With the introduction of the Zynq UltraScale + MPSoC, Xilinx brings to market a new all-programmable device where multiple processing elements can be designed to focus independently on a subset of the required functions. When these independently operable elements are assembled together in a heterogeneous system, a highly diverse set of processing requirements can be met with a very high level of operational efficiency. In addition, power and performance can be ideally balanced against each other, thanks to the many power management features implemented in the Zynq UltraScale + MPSoC.
