3 Zynq Configuration
Unlike Xilinx FPGA devices, APSoC devices such as the Zynq-7020 are designed around the
processor, which acts as a master to the programmable logic fabric and all other on-chip
peripherals in the processing system. This causes the Zynq boot process to be more similar to
that of a microcontroller than an FPGA. This process involves the processor loading and
executing a Zynq Boot Image, which includes a First Stage Bootloader (FSBL), a bitstream
for configuring the programmable logic (optional), and a user application. The boot process is
broken into three stages:
