Limitations of traditional configurations
==Limitations of traditional configurations==
Xilinx Zynq AP architecture provides unprecedented possibilities in terms of integration. In industrial world applications, this is often leveraged to combine on a single chip the implementation of real-time tasks with generic software applications and functionalities that don't have specific requirements in terms of real-timeness{{efn|Network connectivity is an example of such functionalities.}}. In addition, the flexibility offered by the FPGA - known as Programmable Logic or PL for short - allows system designers to implement in hardware custom IPs to add new interfaces and peripherals or to move processing modules from the software to the hardware worldrealm{{efn|Powerful tools have been introduced in the market recently that facilitate this process significantly. One of these is [http://www.xilinx.com/products/design-tools/software-zone/sdsoc.html SDSoC]. Bora and BoraX are two of the [http://www.xilinx.com/products/design-tools/software-zone/sdsoc.html#boardskits supported hardware platforms].}}.
The following list recaps the typical requirements that such systems must meet. This list has been compiled on the base of real world use cases (specifically medical, transportation, automation and telecom applications):
