Review the information the in the New Project : Create a New Vivado Project window and then click Next.
In the New Project : Project Name window set Project Name to project, Project location to /zedboard_hello_world/fw/vivado & untick Create project subdirectory. Click Next to proceed.
No additional source files are required for this project so in the New Project : Project Type window tick the Do not specify sources at this time check box and then click Next.
Click on the Boards tab to view the available boards.
The Zedboard Zynq Evaluation and Development Kit isn't installed by default in this version of Vivado. To install it click on Refresh to download the latest version of the catalog, scroll down the list of available boards to find Zedboard Zynq Evaluation and Development Kit and then click on Install.
Select the ZedBoard hardware in the New Project : Default Part and then click Next.
Look over the project details in the New Project : New Project Summary window and then click Finish.
The Vivado project window now appears.
Tip: The buttons in the top menu bar of a pane provide a very useful way of expanding the working area of that pane. Maximize 
expands a pane within the project window. Float 
expands the pane beyond the project window. Restore 
reverses Maximise. Dock 
reverses Float.
The Vivado project window now changes to reflect the addition of the Diagram pane. Expand the Diagram pane outside of the Vivado window by clicking on its Float icon .
button.
Scroll down to the ZYNQ7 Processing System in the pop-up dialog and add this to the block design by double clicking on it.
The ZYNQ7 Processing System IP is now added to the block design. Let Vivado automate some of the connections by clicking on Run Block Automation.
Review the connections proposed in the Run Block Automation dialog and then click OK.
Some of the connections are now made in the block design.
The Re-customize IP window now appears.
Remove the M_AXI_GP0_ACLK connection from the ZYNQ7 Processing System as it is not required for this design and will cause an error if left unconnected. Click on PS-PL Configuration, expand AXI Non Secure Enablement, expand GP Master AXI interface and untick M AXI GP0 interface.
Remove the USB 0 connection from the ZYNQ7 Processing System as it is not required for this design. Click on MIO Configuration, expand I/O Peripherals and untick USB 0.

The No Implementation Results Available dialog will appear on the very first run of any new project. Proceed by clicking Yes. Since synthesis and implementation have not yet been run these will be scheduled to run before the bitstream generation.
The Launch Runs dialog now appears. Select the required options (defaults as shown are fine) and then click OK.
Once the bitstream generation is complete the Bitstream Generation Completed dialog will appear. Click Cancel to dismiss this.
The generated bitstream can now be found in the impl_1 directory.
The Export Hardware Platform : Output dialog now appears. Include the generated bitstream in the exported hardware by selecting include bitstream and then clicking Next.
