Zynq-7000 AP SoC - Protocol Communication Between a Host PC and ZC702 Board Tech Tip

The host machine communicates with the application running on ZC702 board through UART channel. The GUI running on the target machine sends appropriate commands to the target application based on the user selection. For the GUI to successfully send command and receive a response a simple protocol is designed in the power demo setup. This Techtip explains this protocol that is used for command and response.

This design example uses the UART protocol to communicate data between the GUI on host PC and Zynq-7000 AP SoC. The GUI example reference design will have the following components

1. On Windows Visual C# GUI
1. a. Display the UART ports available on the host PC,
2. b. Two text boxes

i. one for the input from the user and
ii. display the processed data from the Zynq-7000 AP SoC of the user input

2. Application running on Zynq-7000 AP SoC<
