Join hardware enthusiasts around the globe in this interactive, live build-along. In this workshop, we will go step-by-step building a motor control project with the MiniZed. No FPGA experience required. 

MOTOR CONTROL LIVE BUILD WITH THE MINIZED

Step-by-Step Interactive Build of Motor Control MiniZed Project

Project Set-up, Demos and Instruction Provided By Industry Expert

Live Q&A Sessions

Mini But Mighty, the MiniZed and Vitis for Motor Control

The new Xilinx Vitis tool is a unified software development environment that not only allows users to create embedded solutions but also accelerate applications from the processing system to the programmable logic.

In this build-along workshop we'll provide an in-depth walk through of how to create a Vitis embedded application on the MiniZed. The end project will be a low cost MiniZed motor control application using Vitis. 

Part 1: Project Introduction

• Brief overview of the MiniZed's key components and interfaces -WIFI, Blue-Tooth, Pmod & Shield
• Development tools and physical tools needed to complete build
• MiniZed PS/ PL architecture and how the two interface

Part 2: Creating your design in Vivado

• Review the PS settings
• Map in the IP cores required
• Design in the IP cores
• Explore the constraint process and write the constraints

Q&A

Break

Part 3: Creating your application in Vitis

• SW development flow
• TTC for PWM generation
• Debugger and serial port demonstration
• Create the Boot Files necessary for the configuration and running of the application without the need for JTAG

 (Part # AES-MINIZED-7Z007-G )

MiniZed™ is a single-core Zynq 7Z007S development board.  With the advent of the latest cost-optimized portfolio from Xilinx, this board targets entry-level Zynq developers with a low-cost prototyping platform. 

This compact design features on-board connectivity through USB, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Peripherals can be plugged into dual Pmod-compatible connectors, the Arduino-compatible shield interface or the USB 2.0 host interface. JTAG circuitry is incorporated onto the MiniZed base board, so with a single microUSB cable to your laptop you are already up and running. User LED’s, a button and a switch allow for a physical board interface.

The MiniZed Kit includes the development board, a voucher for SDSoC license from Xilinx and a micro USB cable.
