3. INTRODUCTION:
In June 2010, Xilinx introduced the Xilinx 7 series: the Virtex-7, Kintex-7, and Artix-7
families, promising improvements in system power, performance, capacity, and price. These
new FPGA families are manufactured using TSMC's 28 nm HKMG process. The 28 nm
series 7 devices feature a 50 percent power reduction compared to the company's 40 nm
devices and offer capacity of up to 2 million logic cells. In the very next year, Xilinx
introduced the Zynq-7000 family, which integrates a complete ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore
processor-based system on a 28 nm FPGA for system architects and embedded software
developers.
The Zynq-7000 family of SoCs addresses high-end embedded-system applications, such as
video surveillance, automotive-driver assistance, next-generation wireless, and factory
automation. Zynq-7000 integrate a complete ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore-processor-based
28 nm system. The Zynq architecture differs from previous marriages of programmable logic
and embedded processors by moving from an FPGA-centric platform to a processor-centric
model. For software developers, Zynq-7010 appear the same as a standard, fully featured
ARM processor-based system-on-chip (SOC), booting immediately at power-up and capable
of running a variety of operating systems independently of the programmable logic. In 2013,
Xilinx introduced the Zynq-7100, which integrates digital signal processing (DSP) to meet
emerging programmable systems integration requirements of wireless, broadcast, medical
and military applications.
The new Zynq-7000 product family posed a key challenge for system designers, because
Xilinx ISE design software had not been developed to handle the capacity and complexity of
designing with an FPGA with an ARM core. Xilinx's new Vivado Design Suite addressed
this issue, because the software was developed for higher capacity FPGAs, and it
included high level synthesis (HLS) functionality that allows engineers to compile the co-
processors from a C-based description.
The AXIOM, the world's first digital cinema camera that is open source hardware, contains a
Zynq-7010.
The Zynq-7000 family offers the flexibility and scalability of an FPGA, while providing
performance, power, and ease of use typically associated with ASIC and ASSPs. The range
of devices in the Zynq-7000 family allows designers to target cost-sensitive as well as high-
performance applications from a single platform using industry-standard tools. While each
device in the Zynq-7000 family contains the same processing system(PS), the programmable
logic (PL) and I/O resources vary between the devices.

6. BLOCK DIAGRAM AND ARCHITECTURE:
Fig 1:Block diagram of Zynq-7010
The Zynq-7010 architecture enables implementation of custom logic in the PL and custom
software in the PS. It allows for the realization of unique and differentiated system functions.
The integration of the PS with the PL allows levels of performance that two-chip solutions
(e.g., an ASSP with an FPGA) cannot match due to their limited I/O bandwidth, latency, and
power budgets.
Xilinx offers a large number of soft IP for the Zynq-7000 family. Stand-alone and Linux
device drivers are available for the peripherals in the PS and the PL. The Vivado Design
Suite development environment enables a rapid product development for software, hardware,
and systems engineers. Adoption of the ARM-based PS also brings a broad range of third-
party tools and IP providers in combination with Xilinx’s existing PL ecosystem.

7. The inclusion of an application processor enables high-level operating system support, e.g.,
Linux. Other standard operating systems used with the Cortex-A9 processor are also
available for the Zynq-7010.
The PS and the PL are on separate power domains, enabling the user of these devices to
power down the PL for power management if required. The processors in the PS always boot
first, allowing a software centric approach for PL configuration. PL configuration is managed
by software running on the CPU, so it boots similar to an ASSP.
