In this tutorial, you will learn how to use UART to interface the TySOM-1-7Z030 board with other systems. The UART interface enables us to view serial output from the board which can be useful for monitoring. This project has both a hardware and software part.

This document describes the process for building an embedded Linux OS for the Aldec TySOM platform using the Yocto project, an open source collaboration project for creating custom Linux-based systems.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a hardware project in Xilinx’s Vivado Design Suite and create a software project in Xilinx’s SDK for the TySOM-1-7Z030 board. First you will create the hardware part, then you will create a software application to blink the onboard LEDs using standalone OS. In the Zynq architecture, you are able to implement the design either in a bare metal mode or by using an embedded Linux OS platform.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a hardware project in Xilinx’s Vivado Design Suite and create a software project in Xilinx’s SDK for the TySOM-1-7Z030 board. First you will create the hardware part, then you will create a software application to blink the onboard LEDs using onboard switches. At the end of this tutorial, you will also learn how to program the project onto the TySOM-1-7Z030 board using a JTAG programmer. To program the FPGA using a microSD card, you can follow the “Programming the TySOM-1-7Z030 board using a microSD card guide”.

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.

Internet usage has expanded to a new mode: device to device. This new mode is used in Internet of Things (IoT) applications and devices are called IoT gateways. The Aldec TySOM contains a Zynq-7000 SoC with ARM processor and a variety of interfaces to be utilized as an IoT gateway device. This document provides all necessary information about the Aldec IoT demo project with the TySOM-1-7Z030 board.

Internet of Things applications require fast, encrypted, and safe internet communication channels to send data and communicate with other devices. The best solution for this purpose is the cloud. This document describes all necessary steps to use Amazon Cloud in IoT applications with TySOM as an IoT gateway.

The TySOM-1-7Z030 is a Zynq-7000 development kit intended to provide users with the ability to develop hardware and software applications for the Zynq-7000 SoC. The TySOM-1-7Z030 comes equipped with many great features and peripherals including the Zynq-7000 SoC, multimedia peripheral connections, and communication interfaces.

How to prepare the TySOM-1-7Z030 including board programming and booting operating system.

Details BASIC, ADVANCED BASIC, MEDIA, CAM-2-LCD STREAMING, and ALL-IN-ONE HDMI/LCD Embedded System Design.

Describes how to prepare a microSD card to use as a boot medium for running embedded Linux on a TySOM board, the two main options to set the root file system for an embedded Linux operating system, U-Boot as a second stage boot loader for an embedded Linux OS, etc.

Internet of Things (IoT) gateways utilize various sensors and actuators as well as communication interfaces to collect and transmit data. Some applications require a method to present data to users and store them in memory. One of the simplest ways to accomplish this goal is to use LAMP (Linux Apache MySQL PHP) servers. This document will describe the process of installing and configuring LAMP web servers using the Aldec TySOM-1-7Z030.

The TySOM IoT Gateways have a wide range of use, some gateways can provide web server capability, and some can be connected to sensors and actuators. Wireless interfaces are often used when connecting sensors and actuators to a gateway. The main goal of this document is to describe how one can use wireless interfaces such as Bluetooth and Z-wave to communicate with sensors.
