The UltraZed PCIe Carrier Card provides easy access to the full
180 user I/O, 26 PS MIO and four PS GTR transceivers available on
the UltraZed-EG SOM. Two 140-pin Micro Headers on the carrier card
mate with the UltraZed-EG SOM, connecting 180 of the UltraZed-EG
Programmable Logic (PL) I/O to FMC LPC slot, LVDS Touch Panel
interface and Xilinx System Monitor (SYSMON). The UltraZed PCIe
Carrier Card costs $499 and is available for order at
http://zedboard.org/product/ultrazed-pcie-carrier-card.
The UltraZed PCIe Carrier Card also uses a 100-pin Micro Header
to gain access to the UltraZed-EG SOM PS MIO and GTR transceiver
pins as well as USB 2.0 and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. UltraZed
PCIe Carrier Card is an excellent starting point for users to
create their own custom UltraZed-EG carrier card. Video
demonstrations of the UltraZed-EG Starter Kit and SOM can be viewed
at http://www.ultrazed.org/product/ultrazed-EG.
“Adding a PCIe Carrier Card to the UltraScale product family
gives customers even greater flexibility to leverage the
UltraZed-EG SOM for the development of high-performance systems in
applications including wired and 5G wireless infrastructure, cloud
computing and the Industrial IoT,” said Nasser Poureh, director of
technology and technical marketing for Avnet.
To help customers in a wide variety of applications and
industries quickly and cost-effectively capture maximum performance
and value from the UltraZed technology, Avnet also offers a host of
scalable reference designs including software and hardware
platform, boot files, Linux kernel and RAMdisk.
Available reference designs for the UltraZed platform
include:
PetaLinux BSP and In System QSPI and EMMC
Programming Reference Design provides Linux designers with an
excellent starting point for launching a Linux software application
development using Xilinx SDK, while the EMMC reference design
demonstrates programming of the QSPI and eMMC Flash memory boot
devices without the need for external programming cables.
Ethernet Performance Testing Reference
Design enables systems engineers to launch their own Ethernet
performance tuning and testing efforts to ensure products meet the
throughput demands of a particular network configuration.
Bare-Metal-Sensor Reference Design
demonstrates the use of the MAX31855PMB1 thermocouple temperature
sensing module and MAX44000PMB1 proximity sensing module from Maxim
Integrated.
