The MicroZed User Guide was updated to v1.6 to add a bit more detail. Here are a couple table excerpts from the UG that explains the differences, complete with part numbers.
The UG goes on to explain that the MODE jumpers are removed from the Cost-Optimized (or C01) SOM and replaced with resistor jumpers that hard-wire the boot mode to QSPI. A different resistor mode setting may be requested from customize@avnet.com.
The main objective of the C01 is for volume production purchases where the cost savings is most important. You can see the cost savings and availability by searching at www.avnetexpress.com for "z7mb-7z010-C01" or "z7mb-7z020-C01"

Evaluation Kit | The evaluation kit version of MicroZed includes the Zynq 7010 device as well as several other items to make out-of-box evaluation simpler. These extra items include a micro-USB cable, Vivado Design Edition license voucher (device-locked to the 7010), 4 GB microSD card pre-loaded with a Linux test system, and a plastic carrying box. The majority of the tutorials published at www.microzed.org are targeted at this kit. The board included in the kit will work either as a standalone board or as a SOM plugged onto a carrier card. |
SOM | System-on-module. These cards will work standalone or plugged into a carrier card. The SOM versions exclude a few items outlined in the Evaluation Kit definition above. The SOMs are intended to be sold in volume, for use with carrier cards. |
Industrial SOM | Same as the SOM, except populated entirely with components that comply with a tested temperature range of -40° to 85° C, with the exception of the microSD card connector (502570-0893) which is rated at -25° to 85° C. Avnet has tested the Industrial SOMs to this temperature range with a thorough functional test. However, Avnet does not guarantee that the industrial SOM will function to this full temperature range under all conditions. End users are still responsible for proper airflow and heat mitigation. |
Cost-Optimized SOM | This is identical to the SOM with the exception that all of the circuitry required for operating in standalone mode has been removed. The cost-optimized SOMs will ONLY work when plugged into a carrier card. The reduction in components allows these boards to be offered at a lower cost in volume. For a full listing of differences, see the yellow-highlighted items in the cost-optimized bill of materials. |
