For the most comfortable work with the precompiled Linux demos, Xylon
recommends use of a keyboard and a mouse connected through an USB hub
(can be passive) to the ZedBoard USB OTG connector (J13). You can also use reference design with no keyboard and run the majority of the provided demos by using on-board push-buttons.
