Let's hope that E14 gets a chance to roadtest them...

Maybe you can do WYSIWYG stuff with it.

They look interesting. I'm guessing they're to kick start the new unpronounceable SYZYGY (or Zmod) standard of connector.

I can't imagine Zmod will replace Pmod. Zmod seems to be aimed more at the higher density FMC connector or the one on the MicroZed. (I don't know what that one is called.)

Not only high density but also higher speed. The Pmod pin header are limited functionality when it comes to high speed and/or differential signaling.

Each ZMOD connector has its own MCU embedded into it.

This is gonna be fun for troubleshooting .

Don't see any price here yet but it seems that board will be pretty expensive.
