Hardware-Software Co-Design

Prototype vision algorithms on Zynq^® SoC devices

After you design and validate a pixel-streaming video processing algorithm in Simulink^®, you can target the design to the FPGA on the Zynq board, and generate embedded ARM^® code that interacts with the FPGA. You can route the video data to the ARM processor, and control AXI-Lite registers connected to the FPGA control logic.
