Isolation Reference Design

The next section provides a step-by-step instruction to manually add the zupl_xmpu reference core to isolation reference design. Reconstruct the reference design from Isolation Methods in Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoCs (XAPP1320).

An automated script is provided to build the design. If you wish to review the procedures for creating an isolated design, refer to Isolation Methods in Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoCs (XAPP1320).

Following are the steps to build the isolation reference design:

Unzip the zupl_xmpu archive: zupl_xmpu_v1_0[revision].zip.
1. If running on Linux: Browse to the ./zupl_xmpu_v1_0/example_designs/xapp1320_isolation directory and run Vivado.
2. If running Vivado on Windows, use the Tcl Console to navigate to the zupl_xmpu_v1_0/example_designs/xapp1320_isolation directory:
```
cd{<your_path>/XmpuPL_ZUplus_v1.0[revision]/zupl_xmpu_v1_0/example_designs/xapp1320_isolation}
```
Run the example_design.tcl script:
```
source ./example_design.tcl
```
When the IP Integrator Block Design is complete, it looks like the following figure.

Figure 1. Isolation Example Block Design
Right-click zynq_ultra_ps_e_0 and select Customize Block....
Figure 2. Customize Zynq_Ultra_PS
Click Switch to Advanced Mode, then click Isolation Configuration, and you can see that the isolation parameters as described in Isolation Methods in Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoCs (XAPP1320) have been implemented. The following figure shows a sample of the settings.
