UltraZed-EG

In this video I take a look at the features of the UltraZed-EG System-on-Module and the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC. As is typical for Avnet products, it’s a great deal with a price tag of only $485 USD, when the device alone (XCZU3EG-1SFVA625E) would cost you $354 USD. This SoM can’t be used as an SBC (single board computer), it needs a carrier card such as the UltraZed PCIe Carrier Card; this board will cost you $499 USD and has most of the hardware you need to exploit the Zynq UltraScale+ device to its full potential: Gigabit Ethernet, Display Port, PCIe, USB3 and SATA among others. And of course, all of these peripherals are routed through to the PS (hardened IP) of the ZU+, so you don’t need to use up any programmable logic to take advantage of them - so all of your FPGA can be dedicated to the implementation of your ’edge’, or whatever it is that makes your product better/faster/leaner than the competition’s.
