Description

Note: the SDCoC vouchers will be retired once the current stock is depleted. The WebPACK edition of the Vivado Design Suite is available and does not require a paid license.

The Zybo Z7 is a ready-to-use embedded software and digital circuit development board built around the Xilinx Zynq™-7000 family. The Zynq-7000 tightly integrates a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor with Xilinx 7-series Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) logic.

A rich set of multimedia and connectivity peripherals make the Zybo Z7 a formidable single-board computer. A MIPI CSI-2 compatible Pcam connector, HDMI input, HDMI output, and high DDR3L bandwidth establish the Zybo Z7 as an affordable, yet capable, solution for high-end embedded vision applications. Attaching additional hardware is made easy by the Zybo Z7's Pmod connectors, allowing access to Digilent's catalog of over 70 Pmod peripheral boards, including motor controllers, sensors, displays, and more.

The Zybo Z7 is supported by Xilinx's Vivado Design Suite, including the free WebPACK version. You can also interact with the processing system (PS) with Xilinx's Vitis Unified Software Platform and PetaLinux Tools.

Guides and demos are available to help you get started quickly with the Zybo Z7. These can be found through the Support Materials tab.

Note for repeat customers: There has been a change to this product. More information can be found in the RTL8211E and W25Q128JV PCN documents, available through the Support tab.

Features
