DGLZedBoard Zynq-7000 Development Board
Overview
The ZedBoard is a complete development kit for the Xilinx Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC, featuring the XC7Z020 device. It combines a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor with 85k logic cells of FPGA fabric, providing a highly flexible platform for hardware-software co-design. With 512MB of DDR3 RAM and extensive multimedia interfaces, it supports high-performance embedded Linux and real-time processing applications.
Why Choose This Part
The board offers an expansive feature set including HDMI, VGA, and OLED displays alongside FMC expansion for custom mezzanine cards. It bridges the gap between software and hardware engineering by providing 512MB of RAM and 66 GPIO pins, making it ideal for prototyping complex systems-on-chip without custom PCB fabrication.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Start by downloading the Xilinx Vivado Design Suite for hardware synthesis and the Vitis Unified Software Platform for C/C++ development. Use the onboard JTAG or the SD card slot to boot the system, and reference the Digilent documentation for board-specific constraints files. High-level synthesis (HLS) can be used to convert algorithmic C code directly into FPGA gates.
