Storing data from sensors at PYNQ-Z2

You can write directly to the DDR3 from the PL using the AXI HP ports.

This is a HLS tutorial on AXI masters, but it may help you understand what you can do.

If you don’t want to use HLS, you could use a VHDL AXI master controller.
You need to allocate a (contiguous) memory buffer in DRAM, and send the address of this buffer to your PL IP.

This is probably what you want to do.
