One way of using TySOM board is using it in Xilinx SDx tool which provides mechanisms to convert C/C++ functions to HDL and accelerate them in the FPGA part. This functionality demonstrates the power of Zynq chips and Aldec boards that is still out of reach for standard processors. Additionally, FPGA chips consume less energy than processors, so the boards can be used in embedded applications with a battery power supply. This document provides a comprehensive instruction for adding the custom IP cores into the hardware platform and updating the SDx platform.

One way of preparing projects for the TySOM board is using the Xilinx Vivado tool which enables to create, synthesize, perform timing analysis and implement systems for FPGA platforms. Using Vivado board definitions that have been added to a board repository allows to faster-creating systems. After selecting a specific board, the project is configured with the predefined interface for that board and the Vivado design tools provide designer assistance to IP customization and creating IP integrator designs. In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a design for TySOM board using Vivado board files.

Every TySOM board is different, contains different interfaces and connectors and requires a unique Hardware platform. Aldec prepared special SDx platforms to simplify using the TySOM boards. Every SDx platform contains also a set of simple examples provided by Xilinx in xfopencv library which can be used onboard. All projects contains a C++ function which is converted to the FPGA. Aldec customers are also provided with a set of our demo project which they can use as a starting point in developing their applications. This document will demonstrate how to build examples from SDx platforms and how to build Aldec demo project in Xilinx SDx.

One way of using TySOM board is using it in Xilinx SDx tool which provides a mechanism to convert C/C++ functions to HDL and accelerate them in the FPGA part. This possibility demonstrates the power of Zynq chips and Aldec boards what is out of reach for standard processors. Additionally FPGA chips consume less energy than processors, so the boards can be used in embedded application with battery power supply. This document provides information on how to use Aldec TySOM board in Xilinx SDx tool.

This document will focus on using TySOM board in Xilinx Vivado tool which enables adding a custom hardware IP core to the project. This possibility demonstrates the power of Zynq chips and Aldec boards what is out of reach for standard processors. In case of using SDx, we have prepared another tutorial on how to use TySOM boards in Xilinx SDx.
