The Arty Z7-20 enables maker pros, engineers, system integrators and designers to get started quickly on their embedded vision designs. The ready-to-use development platform builds on Xilinx All Programmable SoC Zynq 7020.
A recent project on Hackster.io by Adam Taylor exemplifies how one can combine Arty Z7-20 and Python for the implementation of their ideas. Python developers for the first-time are able to exploit the capabilities and performance provided by programmable logic. While FPGA developers also benefited as they were able to integrate the high-level capabilities of Python with their FPGA designs.
It is targeted at custom video applications and capable of real-time video processing through the on board 512MB DDR3 and HDMI inputs and outputs.
User can use SDSoC™ development environment from Xilinx, which provides a C/C++ ASSP-like programming experience to improve productivity for system architecture definition and application development. The combined a versatile Arty Z7-20 hardware platform with SDSoC, software development tools can let users build a range of embedded vision systems.
