Compact Zynq System 2017.4 with SW-defined Floating-Point 8xSIMD EdkDSP Accelerator
Supported Trenz Electronic Modules:
TE0720-03-2IF, TE0720-03-1QF, TE0720-03-14S-1C
Supported Trenz Electronic Carrier Boards:
TE0703-05, TE0706-02
Description
This report describes design of compact HW system based on Zynq all programmable 28nm chip with one or two Arm A9 processors and programmable logic area. System is optimised for Ethernet connected computing nodes serving for industrial automation, local data processing and data communication. The documented HW architecture is one of candidates for wider use within the ECSEL Productive 4.0 project for the edge computing node in the Industry 4.0 solutions. Two carrier boards and three Zynq modules from Trenz Electronic are supported.

The demonstrated Zynq systems include the run-time reprogrammable 8xSIMD EdkDSP IP core. It combines the MicroBlaze and the floating point single instruction multiple data (SIMD) data flow unit (DFU). The SIMD DFU is controlled by a run-time reprogrammable finite state machine implemented by Xilinx PicoBlaze6 8 bit controller with dedicated embedded (on Zynq executed) C compiler.
The application note describes the installation of the HW system, the SW API, algorithmic implementation and mapping to the 8xSIMD EdkDSP IP. Presented HW system is also compatible with the Xilinx SDSoC 2017.4.1 design environment. The SDSoC is supporting automated compilation of user-defined C/C++ ARM functions into HW accelerators with several types of data movers (zero-copy, DMA, SG-DMA) and the automated integration of generated accelerators as an ARM Linux operating system or standalone application.
