MPSoC, PCIe board with XIlinx XCZU7EV / XCZU11EG Zynq Ultrascale+ MPSOC

SE120 is based on Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ family. Depending on the choice of FPGA  (XCZU7EV / XCZU7EG/ XCZU11EG / XCZU7CG in  C1156 package) it can be used for digital communication applications, such as Data Centers, or image processing and AR/VR applications. Sundance DSP supplies several frame grabber modules ranging from MIPI to Cameralink which can create a suitable platform for AR/VR solutions. The selection of FPGAs that can be used on this board and their available resources are shown below. Summary of devices and available resources:

Board files and BSP for Vivado is supplied. A driver package for Linux and Windows 10, based on the solution available from Xilinx is provided.

SE120-xyy-z-t

x  = 7 or 11 in the case of EG only

yy = CG, or EV or EG

Z = speed grade which by default is -2 but -1 can be selected.

t = temperature grade. Default is -E which is extended but  -I (industrial) can be selected
