Has anyone looked at porting MiSTer to Zynq?

[spacexguy]

Hi,
I'm an FPGA developer who is predominantly a hardware guy, very little software experience. I've ordered a MiSTer Board, but I'm still waiting for it, but I do have a few Zynq Ultrascale+ Development kits lying around (ZCU702&704). I was wondering if anyone has ported/ tried porting to a Zynq Ultrascale+.
Thanks!

I don't think, the ZCU704 is "Ultrascale+"

Anyway, a lot of the cores run on SDRAM, which you usually don't have on the Zynq boards, so that would be the biggest issue in porting anything.
The ones , which just use internal BRAM should be easy ...

It will also require to port Linux part to this board and then create the communication channel to FPGA.

Are you sure its not the 104 instead of 704?

That one is ultrascale+ and has 4 Mbyte(!) of internal BRAM.
Some cores should run fine with that, but not all.
Also it has dedicated(not shared with processor) DDR4, which could replace sdram for some more cores. (not all again)

Still it's a lot of work, with the main work being the framework as Sorgelig said.


I was targeting the ZCU104 myself for GBA/DS development, as it has massive amounts of memory and can clock very high, but switched to another board(nexys Video) because of cost.
If you ever want to get rid of it, contact me
