The processor uses a ARM Cortex A9 dual core CPU, so I was wondering where one draws on from, in order to get an accurate representation of the processor. e.g. use TRM for Zynq-7020 and then look a a TI OMAP 4430 or Freescale i.MX 6 dual core machine configuration, etc?

AFAIK, yes. Xilinx themselves are gearing up to take over this
work, but I can't speak for them, and haven't heard anything since
before I went on vacation. I'm hoping that this will pick up again
soon.

ok! At some point the layer will become (hopefully) yocto BSP
compliant, and at that point we'll get some consistency in kernel
version where it will be on one of the yocto versions, LTSI, etc,
since spraying all over the map on versions doesn't help everyone :)
