The SDRAM used in MicroZed are DDR3L (1.35V). Is there a reason MicroZed has to use 1.5V power for the SDRAM?

After your posting, our engineering team ran a simple test to check MicroZed compatibility with Vcco_ddr = 1.35V. Changing R39 to 18.7K yields a measured value of 1.356 on the "1.5V" rail. The MicroZed passed all functional tests from QSPI and SD card.
It probably would have been more accurate to regenerate the hardware platform and FSBL after adjusting the memory parameters in the Block Design editor. Simply running the existing tests with Vcco_ddr = 1.35V provides one data point.
Again, if you are considering designing MicroZed into your product and having Vcco_ddr = 1.35V is critical, this can very likely be accommodated on your production order by making arrangements at customize@avnet.com.
