The PL bitstream contains configuration data for the device's Programmable Logic (PL). This configuration data can be loaded and read back from the PS using the PCAP interface. The FSBL can handle loading of the initial configuration of the PL using a bitstream stored in the boot image. Alternatively, the PL bitstream can also be loaded at a later time by application code, including using software such as U-Boot or Linux. The XilFPGA software library provides an API that facilitates the loading and read back of configuration data to and from the PL. More information on the XilFPGA library can be found in the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC Software Developer’s Guide (UG1137) [Ref 3]. The PL bitstream length and composition depend on the device. Table: Boot Modes lists the attributes and values of the bitstream for device type. Although bitstream options such as compression (BITSTREAM.GENERAL.COMPRESS) can alter the required bitstream length and Since compressed bitstreams can change in size between design iterations, adequate memory should be reserved for the full uncompressed bitstream.
