Zedboard version with Zynq 7015

Former Member

Hi,

   Looking at Xilinx documents, I have discovered that a new Zynq 7015 is out (or is coming out).

   Although placed in the low-end Zynq selection, this SoC has Gigabit Transceivers which would be an excellent addition to the Zedboard (for testing HD-SDI video transmission, SATA/USB3, why not even dream of 6G-SDI, ...).

   I have not seen the price of this Zynq, but as its number is lower than the 7020, it may be reasonable to believe that it would even be a bit cheaper ?

   Is there any plan on releasing a new development platform like the Zedboard using this Zynq 7015 ? (Oh please do say yes)

Regards,
Clement

    I just did a demo of a concept to my boss, and we are moving to the next phase.  I never thought a board like Zedboard (one that packs Zynq 7020 at least) for the final system, but the sheer time I spent bringing up this demo on Zedboard makes me want to just keep going. Discovering that Zedboard can PERHAPS access > 32GB SD card made me rethink the original plan of migrating to Mini-ITX (for SATA and GPU).  But since SD bandwidth is an order of magnitude lower than even SATA2, it would be great if I can resort to a USB3 disk.  But from this post, I get the drift that Zynq 7020 fundamentally cannot support high-speed serial I/O (whether SATA or USB3) because it doesn't have GTX.

    Is my understanding correct?
