Development platform opens way to SoC designs
Compact and cost-effective is how Avnet Silica describes the MiniZed Zynq SoC development platform. MiniZed provides an entry-level development and demonstration platform for single-core Xilinx Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC devices. This cost-optimised solution supports cloud connectivity and industrial IoT applications such as motor control and embedded vision.
The starter kit is now available for ordering, with shipments starting in early July.
Showcasing the power of the Zynq-7000S SoC device family, which features a single-core ARMCortex-A9 processor paired with 28nm Artix-7 based programmable logic, MiniZed represents the lowest cost entry point to the scalable Xilinx Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC development platform.
The platform’s compact design – small enough to fit into a shirt pocket – features on-board connectivity through USB, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Peripherals can be plugged into dual Pmod-compatible connectors, the Arduino-compatible shield interface or the USB 2.0 host interface.
User LEDs, a button and a switch allow for a physical board interface, while JTAG circuitry is incorporated onto the MiniZed base board.
Tutorials use the on-board microphone as an example input to demonstrate how to easily implement filters and FFTs in the fabric.
The on-board eMMC (8GB) provides convenient storage for the OS, files and logs.
