The PicoZed SDR Development Kit bundles everything required to start your software-defined radio (SDR) design. The kit includes the low-power, small footprint, rugged PicoZed SDR 2x2 system-on-module (SOM) and a carrier card for prototyping with standard high bandwidth interfaces like USB, Gigabit Ethernet, SFP+, anad RF power modules. The carrier also includes HDMI, audio, and a camera module interface to enable a host of new SDR applications requiring audio/video and embedded vision. Data acquisition is managed under Ubuntu Linux running on the dual ARM-9 processor within the Zynq SoC, supporting fast data exchange over Ethernet to MATLAB and Simulink. Open source reference design source code can be downloaded and reused in your design. Also included are the cables, power supplies, and software required to use the kit immediately for software development and application prototype. Supported by robust simulation and code generation tools that integrate seamlessly with Xilinx Vivado Design Suite, PicoZed SDR enables dramatic reduction in design cycles of your software-defined radio products.
