GIMME2 - a getting started guide

Abstract

GIMME2 is an embedded stereo vision system based on the Xilinx Zynq processing platform. The Zynq combines FPGA fabric with a dual-core ARM on a single chip. Hence, applications on GIMME2 may benefit from FPGA-based hardware acceleration complemented by conventional sequential processing on the ARM cores. This is a guide how to setup GIMME2 for operation and run simple example applications. This involves configuration of the Zynq with respect to peripheral hardware, basic interfacing between the different processing units, and booting Linux, using the Xilinx Vivado tool suite. By following this guide the user will get acquainted with part of the tools and the Vivado work-flow, concepts of the Zynq platform, and be able to create a base setup for GIMME2, which can serve as a reference for future application development.
