Is there a way to implement the following design?

1) Run C code generated from Matlab in a real-time bare metal configuration on Arm core 0.

2) Run Android on Arm core 1 which will peek and poke data from the programmable logic and Arm core 0 and send it out to the PC via ethernet, or display it via a touchscreen.

3) Run custom or Matlab HDL Coder generated VHDL on the programmable logic.

The programmable logic and Arm core 0 are running real time application code and Android serves as a non real time interface between the host PC or visualization equipment.

I would like to get started on a design that implements this technology and am wondering if there is anybody out there willing to struggle through this with me.  Thanks for your time.

    1. The Matlab real-time compiler can be pretty finicky when it comes to writing usable C/C++ code.  If you follow their recommended programming guide for embedded code, then yes it will run without a problem.

    2. I would recommend booting into Android on Core 0 and running the real-time code on Core 1.  This will make booting much much simpler.  Either way, both configurations are valid.

    3. Matlab HDL Coder produces HDL (VHDL or Verilog) code that is human readable.  You would then synthesize the code with ISE or PlanAhead and put it into the Programmable Logic portion of Zynq.

    Is there a specific reason why you want to use Android rather than a real-time port of Linux?
