PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Avnet (NYSE: AVT),
a leading global technology distributor, continues to demonstrate
industry-leading commitment to facilitating customers’ introduction of
differentiated embedded systems with the release today of the UltraZed™
PCIe Carrier Card and associated reference designs. The UltraZed PCIe
Carrier Card is a high-performance platform that speeds prototyping and
development of next-generation embedded system-on-module (SOM)
applications utilizing the UltraZed-EG™
SOM, Avnet’s first platform to fully support power modes on the
scalable and flexible Xilinx® Zynq® UltraScale+™
MPSoC.
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.
