Digilent PYNQ-Z1 Python Productivity for Zynq (PYNQ-Z1)

Designed for use with the PYNQ open-source framework that enables embedded programmers to access the AP SoC via the Python programming language Built around the Xilinx Zynq-7000 AP SoC, with 650MHz dual-core Cortex-A9 processor and DDR3 memory controller with 8 DMA channels Onboard user interfaces include 4 push buttons, 2 slide switches, 4 LEDs, and 2 RGB LED Expansion opportunities with two standard Pmod host ports and 16 total FPGA I/O The PYNQ-Z1 board is designed to be used with PYNQ, a new open-source framework that enables embedded programmers to exploit the capabilities of Xilinx Zynq All Programmable SoCs (APSoCs) without having to design programmable logic circuits. Instead, the APSoC is programmed using Python and the code is developed and tested directly on the PYNQ-Z1. The programmable logic circuits are imported as hardware libraries and programmed through their APIs in essentially the same way that the software libraries are imported and programmed.
