Advanced Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC for the Software Designer | Online
This course explains the features of the CPUs in the processing system to effectively design embedded software for operating systems and complex applications.
In systems deploying multiple independent processors in operation, the designer must be aware of specific system design approaches to reach a mature design. E.g., the inter-processor communication requires a custom shared memory management and a protection of related peripherals. Schemes to achieve symmetric and asymmetric multi-processing OS operations are discussed, reviewing Linux or hypervisor architecture on application processor cores, FreeRTOS deployment especially on the real-time processing unit, and the respective software support. For generating a Linux OS, the various components need to be fetched, configured and built, also adopting the contributions of the customizable programmable hardware (PL). We will contrast the basic generation schemes, open source Linux kernel and rootfs vs. the build using Yocto and/or PetaLinux.
To productize these insights, the mechanisms of principal boot configurations are shown and elaborated. The boot process can be customized with focus on various non-volatile memories, multiple boot content, and allowing for non-secure or secure boot.
The course also introduces the basic options for configurable startup and runtime control to deploy the flexible operation of the multiple processors in the UltraScale+™ MPSoC architecture. A design may typically not be running in full performance mode simultaneously at all times but only for peak periods, so the power management of all device resources is software programmable and enables power scaling at runtime. The design approaches will be explored running and debugging in simulation supported by QEMU or on actual hardware targets – both are equally important tools along the design methodology.
Due to accompanying exercises, the course offers in-depth and practice-oriented training. Attendees of the online live training will perform the practical exercises in real time with instructor assistance.
