AES-ZU7EV-1-SOM-I-G, SOM Module maximum allowable deflection during environmental vibration

Dan_Szuch — Tue, 23 Jun 2026 19:14:39 GMT

I have a customer application for a AES-ZU7EV-1-SOM-I-G, SOM Module that will be exposed to less than 10 minutes of a high vibration load. The vibration environment will induce some amount of deflection onto the CCA and I want to make sure the CCA is adequately supported by my enclosure design to prevent too much deflection. What is the recommended max deflection limit for the CCA to limit any damage to the CCA components and PWB?

I will definitely look into IPC-2221 and IPC-2223. Thanks again.

Hi dougw. Thank you for your reply to my question. Adding stiffeners opposite the critical components seems appropriate for a new design. Any recommendations for ruggedizing existing CCAs that are fairly densely populated like the Avnet AES-ZU7EV-1-SOM-I-G, SOM Module? I am hoping that an Avnet SME or even one of the SOM module designers see my question and have some level of experience with vibration stresses of similar designs to offer some best practices / rules-of-thumb for solder or component stresses limits due to deflection. My original question may have too many variables to provide any meaningful answer.

dougw — Wed, 24 Jun 2026 17:01:29 GMT

Check IPC-2221 and IPC-2223.

When PCBs are subjected to flex, they often use stiffener plates glued under large chips, so the solder joints don't see excessive stress.

Avnet 4DSP FMC150 module reference design

alex263232 — Wed, 29 Oct 2025 14:06:22 GMT

Hello,

I am a student doing research with a Virtex-6 FPGA board which came with Avnet's 4DSP FMC150 ADC/DAC module, and I'm trying to run the DSP demo, but the website containing the files does not exist anymore and I can't seem to find the files anywhere. I've uploaded the guide, which should include the website link and zip folder I'm looking for at the top of page 12. Is there somewhere I can find these files, or somewhere where I can get something similar for my models of DSP and FPGA?

I emailed onlinesupportUS@avnet.com and they directed me here.

@alex263232 - Unfortunately, that information is not available. I did do a search of our archives and I did not find anything supporting this. What I did notice is that this is a kit containing a Xilinx ML605 and a 4DSP FMC150. Perhaps these archives are available through AMD/Xilinx. You may want to head over to their support forums and ask as they may have this archive laying around. Sorry for the run around. I wish I could have been more help to you.

RE: How to flash firmware to the Cortex-M33 core on MaaXBoard OSM93?

How to flash firmware to the Cortex-M33 core on MaaXBoard OSM93?

Manju123 — Mon, 11 Aug 2025 06:39:15 GMT

Hello,
I am working with the MaaXBoard OSM93, which has an NXP i.MX93 SoC containing both an application core and a Cortex-M33 real-time core.
I have compiled a firmware binary for the M33 core and would like to flash it to the board.

Could someone please guide me on:

The correct SW1 DIP switch or boot mode settings for entering Serial Download Mode or other modes suitable for programming the M33 core.
Whether I should use the NXP MCU-Link SWD/JTAG interface or the UUU tool for flashing the M33 core specifically.
The exact commands or scripts to flash a .bin or .elf file to the M33 domain.
Any sample M33 firmware projects or demos that can be used to verify successful flashing.

References to official documentation or proven step-by-step procedures would be highly appreciated.

Thank you.

Faulty PicoZed 7015_7030 Revision E Link

ajith.peter — Wed, 06 Aug 2025 17:27:55 GMT

I have been trying to download the PicoZed 7030 Schematics Revision E from the Avnet Picozed Website at https://www.avnet.com/americas/products/avnet-boards/avnet-board-families/picozed/

Under Schematics, the link in question is marked PicoZed 7015_7030 Schematics Rev E

But it is not pointing to the PDF and the page refreshes in response to a click on the link.

Can someone from Avnet please check.

Ajith

Looks like the link got corrupted. It should be resolved shortly. Thanks for letting us know it was broken.

Maaxboard osm93 pinout

Manju123 — Tue, 29 Jul 2025 06:39:51 GMT

I am working on a project using the MaaxBoard OSM93 (i.MX93) and want to use input capture functionality to measure the pulse width of an ultrasonic sensor (like HC-SR04).

I found that the NXP SDK provides TPM input capture examples, but I need help with the following:

How to configure the TPM input capture example correctly for the MaaxBoard OSM93?

How to choose a compatible GPIO pin that is mapped to a TPM channel?

How to read the captured timer values from the TPM peripheral?

I have already:

Imported the tpm_input_capture example from the SDK .

Connected my sensor to GPIOx_IOy, but it seems this GPIO does not have timer functionality.

What I need:

Guidance on how to identify which GPIO pins support TPM input capture on i.MX93.

Steps to configure the correct pin and TPM channel in the SDK example.

Code example or method to read and interpret the rising/falling edge capture values.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Avnet MaaXboard 8ULP Board Control Utilities (BCU) Support

danvs — Fri, 11 Jul 2025 15:30:12 GMT

I am currently using the Avnet MaaXBoard 8ULP and I am attempting to gather CPU power measurements using the NXP BCU tool located on their repository here. However, it seems like the current version of BCU does not support the MaaXBoard 8ULP. I was able to find the BCU repository from Avnet here that seems to support the MaaXBoard 8ULP. However, it seems like the branch that adds support for the board has not been merged with the master branch of BCU, meaning installing BCU via snap gives the version of BCU which still does not support the MaaXBoard. Is there a way I can use Avnet's branch to allow BCU to support the MaaXBoard in order for me to use it for CPU power measurements?

Memory mapping for ZuBoard 1CG

MATRIX7878 — Thu, 12 Jun 2025 06:58:03 GMT

Hello,

I am looking for a document (or anything) that has all the memory maps for the PS peripherals of the ZuBoard 1CG. I have several MIO peripherals and I want to know what address I need to use to access some of those locations. Where can I find this information?

Thank you

RE: Memory mapping for ZuBoard 1CG

MATRIX7878 — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 18:10:44 GMT

It is only for the implemented peripherals? If I add the AXI GPIO block to the design, I will get all MIO GPIO addresses? Then find the ones for the switches? Is that what you are saying, or no? I rarely rely on BSPs, so I need to know more about what you are saying. Thank you.

RE: Memory mapping for ZuBoard 1CG

MATRIX7878 — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 18:05:46 GMT

That is a great starting point, thank you. It is generic though and not specific to my board. I need to know what the memory locations are my peripherals. I have several MIO peripherals that I need to know the addresses of.

RE: Memory mapping for ZuBoard 1CG

iksevas — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 15:30:09 GMT

There is a file in the bsp called xparameters that typically lists the MIO addresses for implemented peripherals.

RE: questions regarding MicroZed

Yes the board can be used in products. If you have reasonable volumes you may want to contact a sales person / fae.

The starting point for support is here and then FAE.

The MicroZed / PicoZed has long life left. Avnet/Tria does not anticipate EOL for many years.

Hello,

We're currently testing a custom board. the SD card boot fails with the following log:

Xilinx Zynq MP First Stage Boot Loader

Our image can boot on carrier board. We compare power-up sequence of the two board. No improvement.

We tried to slow down the clock from 200MHz to 100MHz. No improvement.

Do you have another idea that we could try?
