The architecture of the Ultra96-V2 MPSoC development board and how it can be used to prototype SoC designs. Detail instructions in the attachment.
ELEC8250 Assignment 1 This purpose of this assignment is to have you understand the architecture of the Ultra96-V2 MPSoC development board and how it can be used to prototype SoC designs. Be sure to list the resources and reference materials you used to compile your report. Part 1 (30% of total marks) At the heart of the Ultra96-V2 MPSoC development board is a Xilinx Zynq Ultrascale+ MPSoC. Describe the architecture and features of the specific Ultrascale+ chip that is on the Ultra96-V2. Give details of the processors, memory, interfaces and programmable logic and describe how they are connected. Part 2 (30% of total marks) Describe the architecture of the Ultra96 -V2 board. List the interfaces and devices that are available and describe how they are connected to the Ultrascale+ MPSoC. Part 3 (40% of total marks) For the system (system 2) you have been allocated, describe how the Ultra96-V2 development board can be used to prototype the system. What additional components would you need? Explain how these components might be connected to the SoC. Describe any assumptions you have made and justify your design decisions. System 2: Head-mounted virtual reality (VR) system. The VR system must not have any wires and will run from batteries. It will need to decode a 360° stereo video and 4-channel audio track that has been encoded in a proprietary format. The system should be able to determine the orientation of the user and decode the video and audio display that is appropriate for that direction. Marking Rubric Each part will be graded according to the two attributes described below. The final mark will be determined by: Final mark = Part 1 [0.3 x {[mark for attribute 1] x 0.7 + [mark for attribute 2] x 0.3}] + Part 2 [0.3 x {[mark for attribute 1] x 0.7 + [mark for attribute 2] x 0.3}] + Part 3 [0.4 x {[mark for attribute 1] x 0.7 + [mark for attribute 2] x 0.3}] Attribute 1: Quality of analysis, discussion and understanding Grade Range Criteria Fail 0-49 Work presented is deficient. Does not address question or has major technical problems Pass 50-64 Question mostly answered but lacks meaningful or intellectual analysis. Credit 65-74 Question answered with some attempt to support arguments and conclusions. The work is technically correct but demonstrates a lack of cohesive understanding D 75-84 Question answered and contains a mix of critical review and data/references to support arguments and conclusions. Arguments are clear and convincing HD 85-100 Presented work exceeds above requirements. Demonstrates substantial insight and originality. Attribute 2: Presentation Grade Range Criteria Fail 0-49 Presentation is poor, inconsistent and impedes the reading of the document. Document may contain grammatical errors, inappropriate use of figures and tables, inconsistent document formatting, and lack of (or incomplete) citations, etc. Pass 50-64 Presentation adheres to a minimum professional spirit. Contains large pools of text where the reader must fish for information. Figures/tables may be incorrectly labelled or not referenced in text. However, the reader may be able to make sense of the figure/table from the context being communicated. Document formatting and layout is somewhat consistent. Appropriate use of citations, where relevant. Credit 65-74 Writing is understandable but some redundancy is noted. Graphical presentations are of good quality and properly labeled. Appropriate use of tables, section and sub- section heading structures. Document is well presented, and formatting is consistent. Appropriate use of citations, where relevant. D 75-84 Document is well structured and communicates meaningful information. Writing is logical. Good use of graphics and tables to support arguments. Citations are appropriately used, where relevant. HD 85-100 Document is presented at a professional level. Writing is clear, concise, interesting and engaging. Graphical presentations are appropriate in supporting information transfer. Citations are appropriately used, where relevant.
