Investigate compiling code outside of Xilinx SDK #172

We should be able to use open-source gcc to compile code for the AMDC Zynq-7000 SoC.

We should investigate this. Having our own build system would make a lot of things much easier! For example, creating "private" user applications would be easy if we could control the include paths easily for the build.

Probably use CMake for our own custom builds.

I have seen other Xilinx Zynq-7000-based projects have full complete scripts which build the FPGA bitstream, compile the code, and flash the target from a Makefile. This would be awesome for us too!
