This is Digilent Cora Z7: Zynq-7000 Single Core for ARM/FPGA SoC Development Board.

The Cora Z7 is our most cost-optimized SoC development board featuring the power and flexibility of Xilinx’s Zynq®-7000 SoC family.

Featuring Arduino™ headers, 1Gbps Ethernet, an onboard analog-to-digital converter, and Pmod ports, the Cora Z7 can be used in a variety of embedded applications. The Zynq-7000(S) SoC family integrates the software programmability of an ARM®-based processor with the hardware programmability of an FPGA, delivering cost-optimized system integration. At such a friendly price point, the Cora Z7 is a great development board to get started with Zynq-based designs.

The Cora Z7 is supported by Xilinx’s Vivado ML, including the free Vivado ML Standard Edition. You can also interact with the processing system (PS) with Xilinx’s Vitis Unified Software Platform and PetaLinux Tools.

The ARM Cortex™-A9 processor on the Cora Z7-07S is single-core.

410-370 is a Cora Z7 ready-to-use, most cost-optimized SoC development board featuring the power and flexibility of Xilinx’s Zynq®-7000 SoC family. The Zynq-7000 architecture tightly integrates a single or dual core 667MHz ARM Cortex-A9 processor with a Xilinx 7-series FPGA. This pairing grants the ability to surround the processor with a unique set of software-defined peripherals and controllers, tailored for the target application. The Cora Z7’s wide array of hardware interfaces, from a 1Gbps Ethernet PHY to analogue-to-digital converters and general-purpose input/output pins, make it an ideal platform for the development of a vast variety of embedded applications. The small form factor and mounting holes make the Cora Z7 ready to be used as one component of a larger solution. The on-board SD Card slot, Ethernet, and Power solution allow the Cora Z7 to operate independently of a host computer.
