Kernel Drivers vs. Userspace Drivers: A Guide for Embedded Linux Developers

Reading Time: 4 minutes Introduction In Embedded Linux projects, developers dedicate a substantial amount of time to managing external hardware interfaces. A common dilemma they face is deciding between developing a custom kernel driver (kernel module) or a userspace driver/application for a specific device. This decision can be intricate, as the optimal approach hinges on multiple factors. Making the […]

Demystifying PL-PS Interrupts and Device Tree Configuration on the Zynq UltraScale+

Leave a Comment / Embedded Linux, FPGAs, xilinx

Reading Time: 3 minutes Introduction and Problem The AMD Zynq Ultrascale+ contains many available interrupt sources in its design. Most notably, are the interrupt channels available between the PL (Programmable Logic / FPGA) and the PS (processing system). This enables FPGA IP within the device to trigger interrupts in software. Although this high-level concept is relatively simple, the intricate
