Today I started working with the FPGA fabric. I tried out the FPGA lessons 1 to 4 by Anton Potočnik. I found lesson 4 particulary interesting as it shows how to connect the PS and PL sections of the Zynq chip using AXI. I also experimented with changing the clock speed of the PL fabric. I found that could reliably run from 300KHz to 2500MHz. It is rated for down to 100KHz, but I had timing problems with that, maybe due to the latancy with transfering data of the Red Pitaya and to my web browser with a slow PL clock. I found that you need to stop the clock to make large changes to the speed. My notebook with the memory map in Python is in this repository.
