I am attempting to exercise the interfaces on the Zynq-7000 AP SoC ZC706 Evaluation Kit.
What tests can be run to ensure that the interfaces are working correctly?
Zynq-7000 AP Soc ZC706 Evaluation Kit Documentation and Example Designs referenced below can be found on the ZC706 Support page.

| Configuration Interfaces | |||
| Configuration Mode/VMode Pins | ZC706 BIST (XTP242) | Page 15 for QSPI settings; Page 42 for JTAG settings | |
| Configuration PS-JTAG Interface | (Xilinx Answer 46881) | Also covers third-party debugger usage | |
| Configuration PL-JTAG Interface | (Xilinx Answer 46881) | Also covers third-party debugger usage | |
| Configuration PMBus Interface | (Xilinx Answer 37561) | Requires TI USB EVM Adapter; see (Xilinx Answer 54022) | |
| Configuration Digilent JTAG Interface | ZC706 BIST (XTP242) | Page 9 uses the Digilent Interface | |
| Configuration Xilinx Platform Cable USB Interface | ZC706 BIST (XTP242) | Page 9 uses the Digilent Interface; simply substitute Platform Cable USB and update JTAG config pins | |
| Configuration Quad SPI Flash | ZC706 BIST (XTP242) | Page 18 has user boot from QSPI. See XTP247 - ZC706 Restoring Flash Content PDF - for restoring QSPI factory contents | |
| Configuration SD Card | ZC706 BIST (XTP242) | Page 101. This creates a BOOT.bin. Copy this to an SD Card, set correct mode pins settings, and cycle power | |
