------------
1. connect arm hw
2. rst # Reset the device
3. fpga -f hardware/bitstream.bit
4. source hardware/ps7_init.tcl
5. ps7_init
6. ps7_post_config
7. dow images/sel4bench-image-arm-zynq7000
8. run
9. exit
-------------

1-2: Connect to the processor and put it in a known state
3-6: Program the FPGA and perform some early initialisation.
     I am not sure if this is still required for a PS only project.
7: Performs step 2: load the elf sections.
     There is no reason to load the entire elf file into memory first in
this case
8: Performs step 3: jump to the program entry point. The image must be
an ELF file, otherwise the entry point can not be determined by the
tool.

Replace the argument to the 'dow' command with the location of the image
that you wish to run (probably images/sel4test-image-arm-zynq7000 in
your case).

Although ZC702 is not a supported platform, the processors are generally
compatible. Actually, the XMD commands that I provided are what I have
been using for my development on the Zedboard.
