The bundled microSD card includes an out-of-box demo that boots a Linux image built in Petalinux and includes some test scripts for some of the peripherals.
The Genesys ZU is primarily targeted towards Linux-based applications that allows easy access to Wi-Fi, cellular radio (WWAN), SSD, USB SuperSpeed and 4K video. Faster and more processor cores, upgraded memory interface, integrated gigabit transceivers bring support for DDR4, USB Type-C 3.1, PCIe, SATA, DisplayPort, SFP+* and HDMI*. The Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC at the heart of the Genesys ZU is a big leap from the Zynq-7000 series.
Differences are highlighted* throughout this document. Furthermore, the Genesys ZU is available in two variants with different MPSoC options and additional features for even more flexibility. The excellent mix of on-board peripherals, upgrade-friendly DDR4, Mini PCIe and microSD slots, multi-camera and high-speed expansion connectors are bound to support a wide number of use-cases.
It is an advanced computing platform with powerful multimedia and network connectivity interfaces. The Digilent Genesys ZU is a stand-alone Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC prototyping and development board. Not enough? Connecting the micro USB cable to header J8 will allow for on-the-fly programming and debug using Vitis or Vivado. Build your own boot image on the SD card and boot it like the OOB demo. Check out our Getting Started Guide for a step-by-step. Want to dive deep into development? Head over to our GitHub page and use the repos there as a starting point. The red button labeled “POR” always resets the MPSoC and starts the boot process again. Connect the USB micro B cable to a PC and open a terminal (115200-8-N-1) to the first COM port out of the two that appear. Used stand-alone with a hearty bundle in the box, powered by the 12V power supply, it straight up boots Linux from the microSD card (whoops, erratum). As compared to the 3EG, with the 5EV you get slightly faster DDR4, more FPGA, a video codec, and GTH transceivers allowing HDMI Source, Sink and SFP+ 10G. These two variants are differentiated by the MPSoC model and some peripherals. There are two variants of the Genesys ZU mentioned in this Reference Manual: 3EG and 5EV.
At its heart is a Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC ARM-FPGA hybrid, coupled with upgradeable memory, network and multimedia interfaces, and a wide variety of expansion connectors making it a versatile computing platform. The black matte board you are holding in your hand is a prototyping and evaluation board proudly designed by Digilent. USB Scopes, Analyzers and Signal Generators.
