LAB DESCRIPTION

Lab 1: Simple Hardware Design. Create an XPS project by using the Base System Builder to develop a basic hardware system for a target board.

Lab 2: Adding IP to a Hardware Design. Learn to add IP, such as bridges, OPB peripherals, OPB buses, and others, to the basic hardware design.

Lab 3: Adding Custom IP to an Embedded System. Explore adding a custom IP to your design by using the Create and Import Peripheral wizard.

Lab 4: Writing Basic Software Applications. Write a basic C application that utilizes the UART
and GPIO.

Lab 5: Advanced Software Writing and Debugging Using SDK. Use the OPB timer and interrupt controller, develop an interrupt service routine, and debug software by using the Software Development Kit (SDK) and debugging tools.

Lab 6: Performing System Simulation. Generate simulation scripts with XPS and perform behavioral simulation.
