Hello all,
After the MNIST on ZYNQ example, it is time to move to a better and more powerful platform ZYNQ Ultrascale (ARM is more powerful).
This FIR example is based on the previous example here.
Although this is preformed on ZYNQ rather than ZYNQ-Ultrascale+, both platforms are so similar.
In this example we are going to compare both software Python signal filter and HW accelerated filter.

Lets start with the overall block-diagram.

Take a closer look to the filter block
-
Make sure both the AXI Master and Slave data width is 32 bit.

The FIR filter block constants and setups:
-255,-260,312,-288,-144,153,616,1233,1963,2739,3474,4081,4481,4620,4481,4081,3474,2739,1963,1233,616,153,-144,-288,-312,-260,-255
- Synthesis and compile the design and copy the required files to the PYNQ folder.
The Jupyter notebook example is attached here as well

Conclusion
The acceleration rate is over x14 compared to software-based filter:
