AES-Z7MB-7Z010-G

The AES-Z7MB-7Z010-G from Avnet is a MicroZed™ evaluation kit. MicroZed™ is a low-cost development board based on Xilinx Zynq®-7000 All Programmable SoC. Its unique design allows it to be used as both stand-alone evaluation board for basic SoC experimentation or combined with carrier card as an embeddable system-on-module (SOM). MicroZed contains 2 I/O headers that provide connection to 2 I/O banks on programmable logic (PL) side of Zynq®-7000 AP SoC device. In stand-alone mode, these 100 PL I/O are inactive. When plugged into a carrier card, the I/O are accessible in a manner defined by the carrier card design. Thus designers can start with MicroZed in stand-alone mode as learning platform and then easily expand its functionality as a SOM through the addition of an off-the-shelf or custom designed carrier card. This combined stand-alone/SOM approach can quickly move a design idea from concept to production making MicroZed the ideal platform for SoC based applications.
