Product Description: The Digilent ZYBO Z7 is the newest addition to the popular ZYBO line of ARM/FPGA SoC Platform. The
ZYBO Z7 surrounds the Zynq with a rich set of multimedia and connectivity peripherals to create a formidable single-board
computer, even before considering the flexibility and power added by the FPGA. Hardware designer and software developer
can seamlessly integrate your FPGA and CPU functionality. The ZYBO Z7's video-capable feature set includes a MIPI CSI-2
compatible Pcam connector, HDMI input, HDMI output, and high DDR3L bandwidth. Attaching additional hardware is made
easy by the ZYBO Z7's Pmod connectors, allowing access to Digilent's catalog of over 70 Pmod peripheral boards, including
motor controllers, sensors, displays, and more.
The bundle comes with a SDSoC voucher. The SDSoC™ development environment provides a familiar embedded C/C++
application development experience including an easy to use Eclipse IDE and a comprehensive design environment for
heterogeneous Zynq® All Programmable SoC.
The Pcam 5C is an imaging module meant for use with FPGA development boards. The module is designed around the
Omnivision OV5640 5 megapixel (MP) color image sensor. This sensor includes various internal processing functions that can
improve image quality, including automatic white balance, automatic black level calibration, and controls for adjusting
saturation, hue, gamma and sharpness. Data is transferred over a dual-lane MIPI CSI-2 interface, which provides enough data
bandwidth to support common video streaming formats such as 1080p (at 30 frames per second) and 720p (at 60 frames per
second). The module is connected to the FPGA development board via a 15-pin flat-flexible cable (FFC). The Pcam 5C comes
with a set of open source Vivado IP cores on FPGA and Zynq host boards, a 10 cm flat-flexible cable and a factory-installed
fixed focus lens with M12 lens mount, so it is ready to use out of the box.
