DFRobot PYNQ-Z2 Development Board

DFRobot PYNQ-Z2 Development Board is based on the Xilinx Zynq XC7Z020 System on Chip (SoC). The DFRobot PYNQ-Z2 is designed to support PYNQ, an open-source framework that enables embedded programmers to explore the possibilities of Xilinx Zynq SoCs without designing programming logic circuits. Benefiting from programmable logic and the advanced Arm processor in Zynq, designers can build up powerful embedded applications. The SoCs can be programmed in Python, and the code can be developed and tested directly on the PYNQ-Z2. The programmable logic circuits are imported as hardware libraries and programmed through APIs like the software libraries are imported and programmed. 

The PYNQ-Z2 Board features Ethernet connectivity, HDMI Input and Output, MIC Input, Audio Output, an Arduino interface, a Raspberry Pi interface, 2 Pmod headers, a user LED, a user push-button, and a user switch. The Board is designed to be easily extensible with Pmod, Arduino, peripherals, and general-purpose GPIO pins.

PYNQ

PYNQ is an open-source project from Xilinx that makes designing embedded systems with Xilinx Zynq SoCs easy. Using Python and libraries, designers can exploit the benefits of programmable logic and microprocessors in Zynq to build more capable and exciting embedded systems. PYNQ users can create high-performance embedded applications with parallel hardware execution, high frame-rate video processing, hardware-accelerated algorithms, real-time signal processing, high bandwidth IO, and low latency control.
