Digilent Cora Z7-10 Kit (410-370-1)

Description

Cora Z7 from Digilent is a cheap and easy-to-use programming platform designed on the basis of Xilinx's Zynq-7000 System-on-Chip system (APSoC). The Zynq-7000 architecture integrates the ARM Cortex-A9 667 MHz dual core processor with the Xilinx 7 FPGA chip. This provides the ability to surround the processor with a unique set of software peripherals and controllers tailored to the target application.

The wide range of Cora Z7 hardware interfaces, from Ethernet PHY 1 Gb / s converters to analog-digital converters and general purpose input / output pins makes it an ideal platform for developing a wide range of embedded applications. The small housing and mounting holes make the Cora Z7 ready for use as part of a larger solution. Thanks to the built-in SD, Ethernet and Power card slot, the Cora Z7 solution can operate independently of the host computer.
