This page gives an overview of sysmonpsu driver which is available as part of the Xilinx Vivado and SDK distribution.

A Zynq® UltraScale+™ MPSoC has one system monitoring (SYSMON) block in both the PS and the PL. The SYSMON block has a register interface that can be used to configure the
block and provide a capability of monitoring on and off chip voltages as well as junction temperature. The SYSMON block also has a built-in alarm generation logic that can be used
to interrupt the processor based on certain alarm conditions. For example, shutting down the system, based on an over-temperature (OT) alarm generated from the SYSMON block.
The PL SYSMON block has DRP, JTAG and I2C interfaces to enable monitoring from the external master and the capability to interface with an external power management bus
(PMBus) device. The PS SYSMON block has a built-in logic that enable access to the PS and PL SYSMON blocks.

PS SYSMON Features

The PS-SYSMON block, provides the following features.

• Remote temperature sensor capability
• ADC supports 10-bit resolution with 1 MSPS sampling frequency
  • 1v range with a common-mode, unipolar and bipolar
  • One, dedicated, low input resistance differential channel
  • 16 auxiliary differential channels.
• Supply monitor, multiple input channels
• Stand-alone measurement control system including sequencing, alarms, averaging and min/max
• Multi-rate sequencing capability operational on power-up in default mode
• Internal reference options
• Support for low power sleep mode.

Test Cases

• xsysmon_polled_example.c – This is a polled mode example in which shows the usage of the driver/device in polled mode to check the on-chip temperature and voltages.
• xsysmon_intr_example.c – This is an interrupt mode example in which shows the usage of the driver/device in interrupt mode to handle on-chip temperature and voltage alarm interrupts.
• xsysmon_low_level_example.c – This example shows the usage of the basic functions driver in polled mode to check the on-chip temperature and voltages.
• xsysmon_single_ch_intr_example.c – This example shows the usage of the driver/device in single channel interrupt mode to handle End of Conversion (EOC) and VCCINT alarm interrupts
• xsysmonpsu_ams_example.c - This example is used to measure AMS control block voltages via single channel sequencer off mode
