Zynq Ultrascale+ MPSoC Testing and Application Development

Abstract

Zynq Ultrascale+ MPSoC is one of the latest developments of Xilinx. Since last one year, Xilinx had been in the development of a Xilinx s Internal Board Credit Card Form (XIBCCF) or in simple words a Community Board (CB). As this is a new concept, multiple revisions of this board came into production after successful testing and bugs reporting. The Community board can be used in various applications, which are performance intensive in terms of real time processing. Here, Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) application testing is projected on this CB. MAV is initially designed and calibrated on standard available Flight Controller Board (FCB). Once MAV hardware elements compatibility is tested, the ight controlling process is shifted to CB. A hardware design containing Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), Voltage Level Shifter and a Software design containing Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) generator along with a Firmware compatible to Ground Control Station (GCS) application is ported on CB. The above implementation resulted in real time execution of MAV application.
