FPGA Serial ACL Tester Version 2 by Timothy Stotts

FPGA Serial ACL Tester Version 2 project and source code

Description

A small AP SoC project of Zynq-7000 implementation for testing Measurement and Activity Events of a SPI accelerometer. The design targets the Digilent Inc. Zybo-Z7-20 FPGA development board containing a Xilinx Zynq-7000 AP SoC. Three peripherals are used: Digilent Inc. Pmod ACL2, Digilent Inc. Pmod CLS., Digilent Inc. Pmod SSD. These are an accelerometer peripheral, a 16x2 character LCD peripheral and a two-digit Seven Segment Display.

The folder ACL-Tester-Design-Zynq contains a Xilinx Vivado IP Integrator plus Xilinx SDK design. The Zynq hard ARM CPU #0 is configured to talk with board components, a SPI MEMS accelerometer peripheral, a 16x2 character LCD peripheral, and a two-digit 7-segment display.

Sources to be imported into a Xilinx SDK workspace contain a very small FreeRTOS program in C; drivers for the peripherals, a real-time task to operate the accelerometer chip, two real-time tasks to display data, and a real-time task to color-miix RGB LEDs.

Release pending

The Release A of this project is pending.
