DGLCora Z7-07S
Overview
The Cora Z7-07S is a compact, low-cost development board built around the Xilinx Zynq-7000 All Programmable System-on-Chip (APSoC). It integrates a single-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor running at 667MHz with Xilinx 7-series FPGA logic, providing a flexible platform for hardware-software co-design. This board includes 512MB of DDR3 RAM and various expansion headers, making it ideal for high-speed I/O and embedded vision applications.
Why Choose This Part
The board offers a high degree of expansion via Arduino-compatible headers and two Pmod connectors for adding sensors and peripherals. Its Zynq-7000 architecture allows engineers to offload timing-critical tasks to the programmable logic while maintaining the ease of C/C++ development on the ARM core. The inclusion of 512MB DDR3 memory supports significant data buffering and running full operating systems like Linux.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Developers should use the Xilinx Vivado Design Suite for FPGA logic and Vitis Unified Software Platform for ARM software development. The board is JTAG programmable and supports booting from a microSD card for standalone applications. Digilent provides a comprehensive board support package (BSP) to quickly configure the Zynq processing system and memory controller.
