Common Causes of Startup Failures in XC7Z020-1CLG400C Zynq-7000 Devices
The Zynq-7000 series from Xilinx is a popular family of SoCs that integrate both a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor and a 7-series FPGA fabric, providing immense flexibility and processing power. The XC7Z020-1CLG400C model, in particular, is widely used in embedded systems, industrial automation, and communication applications. However, despite the power and versatility of these devices, startup failures can be a significant challenge for engineers. These failures can be frustrating and time-consuming, often involving complex interactions between hardware, software, and the initialization process.
