Reference Designs

Out-of-Box Designs

This is the software and hardware platform, boot files, Linux kernel and RAMdisk that are provided on the pre-installed SD card.

Using USB for Secondary Boot Images

This application note builds on a PetaLinux BSP and demonstrates how to use a USB device to store Linux and bitstream images. The BOOT.BIN file is reduced to < 400 KB in size, and u-boot is responsible for loading the programmable logic via PCAP.

HDMI Bare Metal Reference Design Using ADV7511 and ADI IP

This reference design demonstrates how to create a bare metal system to output HDMI video and audio using the ADI ADV7511 HDMI transmitter. The IP used in this design is free and publicly available through ADI.

SATA-III Hard Drive Interface Reference Design

This reference design is based on a standalone OS and demonstrates how to test a SATA-III hard drive connected to the Mini-ITX board.

Development Using Ubuntu Desktop Linux

These tutorials provide a means to integrate several different technologies on a single platform. Using the Avnet target boards, we have the power of ARM processors, combined with the unrivaled flexibility of Xilinx programmable logic to implement custom hardware systems. We use a Linux kernel as the foundation operating system running on the processor cores which enables a very large ecosystem of software to be run on our development kits. Virtual machines can provide a very convenient Ubuntu development environment for building the hardware platform and cross-compiling software to target the Processing System.
