XMC-ZU Series: Configurable AMD Zynq® UltraScale+TM MPSoC with Plug-In I/O Description
XMC-ZU series modules provide a programmable AMD Zynq UltraScale+ multiprocessor system on a chip (MPSoC). This MPSoC combines a feature-rich ARM-based processing system and programmable logic in a single device. A quad-core A53 application processor and dual-core R5 real-time processor deliver high-performance computation capability. Additional resources include on-chip memory, external memory interfaces, and a rich set of peripheral connectivity interfaces. The integrated ASIC-class programmable logic is ideal for compute-intensive tasks and offloading critical applications.
An AXM-Z01 expansion I/O module plugs in to bring out the processor peripherals through DisplayPort, USB 3.0, RJ45 and USB UART ports. A number of high-speed serial and LVDS I/O interfaces are also provided. Other AXM mezzanine modules are compatible to provide a variety of analog and digital I/O interfaces.
High-speed serial lanes route PCIe, Serial RapidIO and 10-Gigabit Ethernet signals to the rear XMC P15 connector. High performance signals from the programmable logic are configurable as LVDS I/O or global clocks are accessible on the P4 and P16 rear connectors.
The real value of the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC architecture lies in the tight integration of its programmable logic with the processing system. Its high throughput interface eliminates bottlenecks that plague two-chip ASSP-FPGA solutions and allows designers to easily extend the processing system capabilities. Now developers can build custom designs by adding peripherals in the programmable logic and increase overall system performance by partitioning hardware and software functions with custom accelerators.
Designed for COTS applications these MPSoC I/O modules deliver user-customizable I/O in a high-density and very rugged form factor. Typical applications involve adaptive filtering, sensor fusion, motor control, and image processing.
Acromag’s Engineering Design Kit (EDK) provides example designs that provides host access to the hardware I/O. The examples are implemented using the AMD Vivado® development environment and offer a starting point from which customers can develop their customized applications. Vitis® and PetaLinux® examples are also provided.
