## What it is
Xilinx's official embedded software repository providing bare-metal drivers, board support packages, and first-stage bootloader firmware for Xilinx processors (Zynq, ZynqMP, Versal, MicroBlaze). It includes peripheral IP drivers, standalone BSP, FreeRTOS support, and software services like lwIP and OpenAMP.

## Use cases
- write bare-metal drivers for Zynq peripherals
- build FSBL bootloader for ZynqMP
- get lwIP networking stack on Xilinx FPGA
- port FreeRTOS to MicroBlaze
- access Xilinx IP core driver source
- build PMU firmware for Versal

## When to choose
- developing bare-metal or RTOS firmware on Xilinx/Zynq/Versal hardware
- need official peripheral drivers for Xilinx IP cores
- building first-stage bootloaders or platform management firmware

## When to avoid
- developing for non-Xilinx embedded platforms
- looking for a general-purpose embedded OS or Linux distribution
- need a high-level application framework rather than low-level drivers and BSPs

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: sdk, embedded, developer-tools
- domain: embedded-systems, hardware, developer-tools
- platform: embedded, c
- tags: fpga, xilinx, bsp, device-drivers, bare-metal, zynq, microblaze, firmware, linux
