New Horizons: The best blog for Zedboard

New Horizons is a blog written by Sven Andersson. He starts from a simple hardware design and through a lab progression manages to pass through almost everything that a Zedboard developer will face. His labs are based on 2013.x generation of Xilinx tools, but later he also introduces 2014.x tools.

It is highly recommended that a newbie should study his blog. The changes are minor from 2013.x to 2014.x. The part that differs a lot is the petalinux one, for which in 2014.x version many things are automated.
