Xilinx Zynq peripheral drivers

Question

I have started to develop software for the ZYNQ 7020 SoC from Xilinx. I have finished several tutorials and I have found that whenever I use some predefined block in the PL (for example GPIO controller) then associated software driver for that peripheral is automatically generated. Does anybody know whether this is true only for the predefined blocks or also for user developed blocks? Thanks.

I have found in my opinion useful document regarding the process of custom IP block drivers development.

Answer 1

The tools can't automatically write your driver, but if you package your IP block and driver in the right format you can do the same type of thing. Look here for some more info on how to do that: Is there a way to pass a design parameter from a custom IP to software
