I plan on roadtesting this board in May. I'll be getting 10 kits. Let me tell you about the main attraction.
Some element14 members are familiar with the Ultra96-V2 dev kit, which uses the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC ZU3EG A484 device. This new board also uses the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC, but a different version of device, the AMD ZU+ MPSoC ZU1CG. The ZU1CG device is a low-cost, dual-core entry point to Heterogeneous (Processor + FPGA fabric) Processing. Being a low-cost device opens things up for a lot more developers.
Here are a few details:
The ZUBoard 1CG provides the flexibility and versatility for engineers to experiment with and learn the AMD Zynq ® UltraScale+ 
architecture. The affordable ZU1CG device features 81K programmable logic cells with a Dual-core Arm ® Cortex ®-A53 MPCore and Dual-core Arm Cortex-R5F MPCore, as well as cache and on-chip memory. The board also features 1GB of ISSI LPDDR4 with non-volatile boot options in the 256Mb ISSI QSPI Flash or a microSD card slot. Microchip PHYs enable both 10/100/1000 Ethernet and USB 2.0 Host. A microUSB port provides on-board JTAG/UART access. Microchip oscillators and ECS crystals provide clocking to the ZU1 device, the on-chip real-time clock, JTAG, and communication interfaces. Power the board through USB-C with a Microchip controller and TDK μPOL power modules.
