Digilent Eclypse Z7 Development Board
Digilent Eclypse Z7 Development Board is a powerful prototyping platform featuring the Xilinx Zynq®-7000 All Programmable System-on-Chip (APSoC). The Eclypse Z7 is designed to enable high-speed analog data capture and analysis right out of the box. It is a platform for research and rapid prototyping of test and measurement applications, potentially including software-defined radio, ultrasound, other medical devices, and much more. The Eclypse Z7 includes two Zmod SYZYGY™ interface ports, enabling high-speed modular systems. USB, Ethernet, and Pmod™ ports are also included, allowing a wide range of applications depending on user requirements.The Digilent Eclypse Z7 Development Board includes support for Petalinux. A software API accompanies pre-built Linux images for bulk data transfer. This system allows new users to get started without touching hardware until desired. The software supports various common programming languages, including Python, C/C++, and more. Digilent offers fully open and customizable hardware designs, Linux images, and Linux software applications.
