Linux + FPGA on the zedboard

Former Member

The Zedboard seems very interesting, it has an ARM processor on which a user can run a linux system, it is tightly coupled to an FPGA, and it includes several peripherals and an FMC connector. 

I plan to run linux on the zedboard, and I want to stick the zedboard on a network and access the zedboard remotely using an ethernet connection, will that just work?

OK next, I want to create an FPGA application, I will want to use an external clock, is there an input for that?  I also want to use an external trigger input, do I use the XADC for that?  What is the XADC?

How about moving data back and forth between linux and the FPGA, what will be involved to make that work?

Thanks.

    Hi, I was wondering if I could get some info on internet connection using ethernet socket.

    I am planning to connect or send a HTTP package or some sort of data to my FPGA (or ARM processor) on zedboard via internet. I would like to know if linux kernel unpacks this received package for me. In other words, how having a zedboard can help me to send data from internet to my board, and eventually updating some of the register?

    I hope I was clear enough.

    I truly appreciate your help in advance, any type of instructions or steps that can help me in overcoming this issue is tremendously appreciated.



    Sincerely,
    Daniel
