The Zynq 7000 series, which consists of single- and dual-core Zynq 7000S and 7000 devices, provides an exceptional price to performance-per-watt, completely scalable SoC platform for your special application requirements.
EMIF16 communication between ZYNQ and DSP
In this paper, the main introduction to illustrate the XQ6657Z35-EVM high-speed data processing evaluation board ZYNQ and the DSP between the EMIF16 communication function, the use of the steps and the effect of the operation of the various routines. Based on the TI KeyStone architecture C6000 series TMS320C6657 dual-core C66x fixed-fixed/floating-point DSP and Xilinx Zynq-7000 series SoC processor XC7Z035-2FFG676I designed heterogeneous multi-core evaluation board, consisting of the core board and evaluation of the base board.
Realize the EMIF16 interface transmission function between DSP and ZYNQ PL terminal. DSP first sends 4096 bytes of data to ZYNQ PL terminal through EMIF16 interface, and then reads it back, and detects whether there is any error in the data, and prints the data sending, reading back and the error situation in real time. The ZYNQ PL terminal opens up a RAM space for storing the data written by the DSP through the EMIF16 interface, and at the same time, it is used as the data source when the DSP reads the data through the EMIF16 interface. The EMIF16 interface connection between DSP and ZYNQ PL terminal is shown in the following diagram:
