Eclypse Z7 (410-393) - development board with Zynq-7000 SoC

Description

Evaluation kit with the Zynq-7000 APSoC chip integrating the ARM Cortex-A9 based processor with the Artix-7 FPGA chip. It enables key hardware analysis and acceleration, while integrating processor, DSP and ASSP functions on one device.

Eclypse Z7 is a powerful platform for prototyping. Provides two SYZYGY interface connectors enabling cooperation with fast modular systems. It is a platform for research and rapid prototyping of test and measurement applications, including program-defined radio, ultrasound and medical devices.

The set works under the control of Linux. API software is included with the pre-built Linux images. The system allows new users to start working without interfering with the hardware configuration until required. The software supports many popular programming languages, including Python and C/C++.
