$1.$ Introduction

In this lab, you will use the Vivado IDE to create a project to build a simple Zynq embedded system with the IP Integrator, and incorporate existing IP from the Vivado IP Catalog. Once the design is finished, a number of stages will be undertaken to complete the hardware system and generate a bitstream for implementation in the PL$.$ The completed hardware design will then be exported to the Software Development Kit $($SDK$)$ for the development of a simple software application for LED controlling on ZedBoard.
