Global rollout of new SOM and Carrier Card will accelerate embedded vision designs
PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Avnet (Nasdaq: AVT),
a leading global technology solutions provider, today released the
UltraZed-EV™ Starter Kit, providing designers with the core
tools necessary to shape the future of advanced embedded vision design
and turn their ideas into reality. By bundling the new UltraZed-EV
System on Module (SOM) and Carrier Card, Avnet has created a complete
platform for prototyping and evaluating embedded video processing
systems.
The UltraZed-EV Starter Kit is based on the Xilinx® Zynq®
UltraScale+™ MPSoC EV device family and is the latest
addition to Avnet’s Zedboard portfolio of modules and peripherals
supporting customer product development leveraging SoC technology from
Xilinx. The full Zedboard family includes the MicroZed, PicoZed,
UltraZed and MiniZed and for applications including embedded vision,
IoT, IIoT, voice processing and software defined radio.
“Providing lower-power, higher-efficiency machines with the ability to
see, sense and immediately respond to inputs creates unique
opportunities for system differentiation,” said Dan Rozwood, UltraZed
project engineer for Avnet. “By leveraging the scalability and
flexibility offered by the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC portfolio, Avnet’s new
UltraZed-EV Starter Kit allows designers to focus on their product's
feature set rather than high-speed, digital design infrastructure.”
“Avnet’s UltraZed-EV Starter Kit and accompanying SOMs give embedded
vision and multimedia application developers access to the Zynq
UltraScale+ EV device family to offer power-efficient solutions to many
of today’s video-centric edge device designs, while future-proofing for
the evolving standards,” said Sumit Shah, director of product marketing
at Xilinx. “Complemented by full software development support, this
platform is provided with Embedded Linux-based reference designs, which
in conjunction with Xilinx’s extensive video IP subsystem portfolio,
enable customers to develop an end-to-end platform to immediately start
application development.”
