Hello everybody!
What are the main differences between these two development board? ZedBoard costs 395$, while the Evaluation Kit by Xilinx costs 895$ and I can't understand this evident difference.
Thank you.

Thank you for your answers. I saw the differences between the different ISE licensens but I don't know what's the meaning of some tools. For example what is ChipScope Pro and the others that are sold with the Embedded Edition and not sold with the WebPack Edition? Moreover the Software Development Kit is available for the WebPack licence here: http://www.xilinx.com/products/design-tools/ise-design-suite/embedded-edition.htm, while is not available here: http://www.origin.xilinx.com/products/design-tools/ise-design-suite/index.htm.
Another thing: with vivado can I write C code for the arm A9? I don't want to write C code and translate it in vhdl. I just want to perform some computation on the A9 processor and other computation using the fpga.
TimDuffy, what do you mean whit "It is all a mater of BSP". I don't know what BSP does mean.
Thank you.
Chipscope is essentially a logic analyzer inside the chip. And a node locked version does come with the Zedboard.
Microblaze is a soft-processor that you can implement on Xilinx FPGAs. Not sure what the "Microblaze Microcontroller System" in the webpack is, but I'm guessing a watered down version of the soft processor. Not really needed on the Zinq since it has the ARM processors.
So it looks like the only thing you really get with the embedded edition is the unlimited iSim (simulator). I have never used iSim so I can't comment on it.
Note that I do not own the zedboard yet. But at my work we use the full suite of ISE 14.2 tools.
As far as the SDK - it didn't used to be available with the Webpack, but now a version that supports the ARM processor is. I suspect that the second chart hasn't been updated appropriately yet.
