The Digilent Genesys ZU is a standalone Zynq UltraScale+ EG MPSoC development board, designed to provide an ideal entry point by combining cost-effectiveness with powerful multimedia and network connectivity interfaces.
Everything needed for robust multimedia applications is already available on the board: DisplayPort connectors, two Pcam connectors, and an audio codec with four 3.5mm jacks. One can quickly get started with A/V, image processing, or other multimedia applications without needing additional hardware.
Working on other applications, or looking for more customizability? The Genesys ZU also offers four Pmod ports and an FMC LPC connector, which provide limitless expansion options. Additionally, the 1G Ethernet, MiniPCIE/mSATA, and USB 2.0 make Genesys ZU easily integrated with other systems. The Genesys ZU also features an on-board Zmod port for high-speed I/O expansion options.
The robust XCZU3EG MPSoC is supported by Vivado Design Suite, including the free WebPACK edition. For certain versions of Vivado, Xilinx's MIPI CSI-2 cores may not be supported by the free WebPACK edition, but a voucher for these IP cores is included with the Genesys ZU for no extra charge.
Guides and demos are available to help users get started quickly with the Genesys ZU. These can be found through the Support Materials tab.
