What Just Happened?

At this stage, the Vivado block automation has added a Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC block and applied all board presets for the ZCU104. The presets includes MPSoC PS side block configurations and pin assignments.

What to do for custom boards?

For a custom board, double-click MPSoC block and set up parameters according to the board hardware. Next, add the IP blocks and metadata to create a base hardware design that supports the acceleration kernels.
