FPGA compatibility

thomas32426

I was given a MicroZed board a while back. I'm trying to replicate the project and I want to make sure that they are binary compatible (ie: I can take an SD card from one and put it in the other without there being any issues.) It has "Z7MB-7Z0X0-PCB-G" printed on it. The FPGA has "XC7Z020" printed on it. So, I'm assuming that I can go with the AES-Z7MB-7Z020-SOM-G/REV-G or the AES-Z7MB-7Z020-SOM-I-G/REV-G. Is this the case?

  • Hi there,

     

    If you are unsure of the temperature grade, choosing I grade is safe.  Overall, that makes your PC work harder to meet tighter timing.  So while you will spend more time making images, it is more compatible.

    If the print is still there, on Zynq 7000 chips, lower left corner, you will see a [number][letter] by itself.

    the number is speed grade, and the letter is temperature grade.  The one I have on my desk is a 1C, meaning speed grade 1 and temperature grade C.
