A low-cost dev board based on the Xilinx ZynqRegistered-7000 All Programmable SoC. It can be used as both a stand-alone board for basic SoC experimentation, or combined with a carrier card as an embeddable system-on-module (SOM). It comes in original, commercial, and industrial grades.

Technical Specification

MicroZed contains two I/O headers that provide connection to two I/O banks on the programmable logic (PL) side of the ZynqRegistered-7000 All Programmable SoC device. In stand-alone mode, these 100 PL I/O are inactive. When plugged into a carrier card, the I/O are accessible in a manner defined by the carrier card design. Product Brief (Datasheet)

In addition to the evaluation kit, MicroZed is also available for volume purchase as a module only (no cable, license voucher, or uSD Card). This System-On-Module or SOM version of MicroZed comes in either the Zynq 7Z010 or 7Z020 version. Custom-built versions of MicroZed are available at your local Avnet sales office or e-mail: customize@avnet.com.
