Hello,
I am trying to do a simple task as follows:
1) Send some data from the host pc to FPGA (Zynq-7000)
2) sort that data on the FPGA
3) return the sorted data to the host pc
* The board am using is a custom board that is based on Xilinx XC7Z045-3FFG900 Zynq-7000.

* My Idea is:
1) write my sorting algorithm in HLS.
2) use Xillybus IP core and integrate my synthesized algorithm to it using Vivado. (Xillybus uses PCIe Connection).
I have a couple of problems here:
1) How can I establish a connection between host PC and FPGA other than UART (since it is slow). Is PCIe connection good enough?
2) Xillybus interface doesn't support the board am using. Is there any other way to get my task done? http://xillybus.com/
3) How can I call the sorting function and exchange data with the host PC? (In case am not using Xillybus)
4) Shall I write my code in HLS and integrate it to VIVADO or write it in SDK?
Please let me know the easiest way to do it since I am a totally beginner in this field.
Regards.
