The Vivado IDE tool uses the IP integrator for embedded development. A variety of IP are available in the Vivado IDE IP catalog to accommodate complex designs. You can also add custom IP to the IP catalog.

You can migrate a Zynq 7000 platform processor-based design into the Vivado Design Suite using the following steps.

  1. Generate the system infrastructure.
    1. Create a Vivado project with the desired board or programmable device.
    2. In the Flow Navigator, click IP Integrator and select Create Block Design.
    3. Enter the Design name: design_1. This generates the block design.
  2. Add the ZYNQ7 processing system and import the XML file from the XPS design.
    1. In the block diagram, right-click anywhere and select Add IP to open the IP Catalog.
    2. In the IP catalog, double-click ZYNQ7 Processing System. This instantiates a processing_system7_0 instance on the block design.
    3. Double-click the processing_system7_0 instance.
    4. At the top of the Re-customize IP dialog box, click Import XPS Settings.
    5. Click browse and select the directory of the XML file that was used for XPS.
    6. Click OK.
      Tip: Typically the XML file is located in the <XPS_Project>/data/ps7_system_prj.xml. The XML file stores information dealing with Zynq device Peripherals, MIO settings, DDR settings, and clocking including fabric clocks. You must enable AXI and other interfaces for Zynq devices manually.
  3. Open the MHS file and look at the processing_system7 instance parameters and ports.
    1. In the Page Navigator, select the PS-PL Configuration.
    2. Do a search in the MHS file and set the following options based on the options listed in the following table.
      Table 1. PS/PL Configuration Options Settings

  5. If interrupts are used:
    1. In the Page Navigator, select Interrupts.

    2. Check Fabric Interrupts and select the interrupts used by the Zynq device.

      With BSB designs, IRQ_F2P[15:0] under PL-PS Interrupts Ports were used. Check IRQ_F2P[15:0] under PL-PS Interrupt Ports.

  6. In the Re-customize IP dialog box, click OK to save the imported settings.
