Xilinx Vivado can be overwhelming for a logic designer who is creating their first design for a contemporary Xilinx device. This course describes the various design flows, including hdl only flow, block flow and a hybrid of block and hdl. Each flow includes a simulation options, and adding the Integrated Logic Analyzer to a design. We introduce the Vitis SDK to allow the logic designer to create simple test programs, and describe the AXI4-Lite bus which is the most common interface between processor and logic.
