-The Zynq-7000 AP SoC architecture consists of two major sections and some analog extensions. It has a Processing System (PS) with an ARM Cortex-A9 (up to 1 GHz), a Programmable Logic (PL), and an analog / mixed signal block with 2 12-bit ADCs at 1 MS/s.

The PL is built like and FPGA from the Xilinx Series 7 device. The PL is made of an array of blocks (CLB) and switch matrices. Each CLB has 2 slices, and each slice has 4 look up tables (LUT). Each LUT has 6 inputs / outputs, a carry logic, a multiplexer, and 8 flip-flops. Depending on the structure, up to 4 flip-flops can be used as latches.

Physical contraints include: I/O contraints, Netlist constraints, Placement constraints, Routing constraings. Physical constraints are usually given through the graphical user interface.
+In the VIVADO IDE under the package view, multifunction pins display as part of the I/O bank they are contained in, and display with symbols representing their available functions. For example:
+\begin{itemize}
+ \item Basic I/O pins display as \emph{gray circles} by default.
+ \item Clock capable pins display as \emph{blue hexagons} by default.

+\subsection{XDC file format}
+
+XDC files are basically a set of TCL commands. A command takes come arguments, and if the argument starts with a dash `\texttt{-}' it's an option. Curly brackets `\texttt{\{ \}}' are used to group things. Commands can be nested using square brackets `\texttt{[ ]}' (executes what is in the brackets and give it to the external command). Comment lines start with a `\texttt{\#}', long lines are extended with `\texttt{\textbackslash}'.

+\begin{lstlisting}[language = tcl]

+ [get_ports x[1]]
+set_property IOSTANDARD LVCMOS33 \
+ [get_ports clk]
+set_property PULLTYPE PULLUP \
+ [get_ports nreset]
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+\subsubsection{Create clocks}
+
+To create primary clocks, that is it enters the design through an input port or a gigabit transceiver output pin (clock recovery), the following command is used:
+\begin{lstlisting}[language = tcl]
+# rise and fall time in ns
+create_clock -period `\reqph{T}` \
+ -name `\reqph{name}` -waveform {`\reqph{rise}` `\reqph{fall}`} \
+ [get_ports `\reqph{pin}`]
+\end{lstlisting}
+It is also possible to create generated clocks, that are associated to a master (primary or another generated) clock. A generated clock may perform an operation on its master clock, examples are: period division or multiplication (or both) and phase shift. For example to divide and invert a clock \textt{sysclk}:
+\begin{lstlisting}[language = tcl]
+create_generated_clock -name devclk \
+ -divide_by 2 -invert -master_clock \
+ -source [get_clocks sysclk] \
+ [get_pins out]
+\end{lstlisting}
+Virtual clocks, which do not physically exist, but may be useful as theoretical references or for testing, can be created by omitting the source argument for a primary clock:
+\begin{lstlisting}[language = tcl]
+create_clock -name virtclk -period 10
+\end{lstlisting}

\subsection{Classification}
-Serial communication protocols can be categorized by various criteria. From a network topology standpoint nodes can be connected as point to point (USART), star, bus (PCI), ring, mesh (IoT), fully connected, line, or tree . From a timing perspective a communication link can be either synchronos or asynchronous. The hardware interface can be serial or parallel. The communication can be On-Chip or Off-Chip. And finally, physically the electrical signal representing bits can be single ended, differential, voltage mode, or current mode.
