Arty Z7 Reference Manual The Arty Z7 is a ready-to-use development platform designed around the Zynq-7000 All Programmable System-on-Chip AP SoC from Xilinx. The Zynq-7000 architecture tightly integrates a dual-core, 650 MHz ARM Cortex-A9 processor with Xilinx 7-series Field Programmable Gate Array FPGA logic. This pairing grants the ability to surround a powerful processor with a unique set of software defined peripherals and controllers, tailored by you for the target application. The Vivado, Petalinux, and SDSoC toolsets each provide an approachable path between defining your custom peripheral set and bringing it's functionality up to a Linux OS or bare metal program running on the processor. For those looking for a more traditional digital logic design experience, it is also possible to ignore the ARM processors and program the Zynq's FPGA like you would any other Xilinx FPGA. Digilent provides a number of materials and resources for the Arty Z7 that will get you up and running with your tool of choice quickly. • ZYNQ Processor o 650MHz dual-core Cortex-A9 processor o DDR3 memory controller with 8 DMA channels and 4 High Performance AXI3 Slave ports o High-bandwidth peripheral controllers 1G Ethernet, USB SDIO o Low-bandwidth peripheral controller SPI, UART, CAN, I2C o Programmable from JTAG, Quad-SPI flash, and microSD card o Programmable logic equivalent to Artix-7 FPGA • Memory o 512MB DDR3 with 16-bit bus 1050Mbps o 16MB Quad-SPI Flash with factory programmed 48-bit globally unique EUI48/64 compatible identifier o microSD slot • Power o Powered from USB or any 7V-15V external power source • USB and Ethernet o Gigabit Ethernet PHY o USB-JTAG Programming circuitry o USB-UART bridge o USB OTG PHY supports host only • Audio and Video o HDMI sink port input o HDMI source port output o PWM driven mono audio output with 3.5mm jack • Switches, Push-buttons, and LEDs o 4 push-buttons o 2 slide switches o 4 LEDs o 2 RGB LEDs • Expansion Connectors o Two standard Pmod ports • 16 Total FPGA I/O Arduino/chipKIT Shield connector • Up to 49 Total FPGA I/O see table below • 6 Single-ended 0-3.3V Analog inputs to XADC • 4 Differential 0-1.0V Analog inputs to XADC Purchasing Options The Arty Z7 can be purchased with either a Zynq-7010 or Zynq-7020 loaded.

Software Support The Arty Z7 is fully compatible with Xilinx’s high-performance Vivado Design Suite. This toolset melds FPGA logic design with embedded ARM software development into an easy to use, intuitive design flow. It can be used for designing systems of any complexity, from a complete operating system running multiple server applications in tandem, down to a simple bare-metal program that controls some LEDs.

To help you get started, Digilent provides a Petalinux project that will get you up and running with a Linux system quickly. For more information, see the Arty Z7 Resource Center. The Arty Z7 can also be used in Xilinx's SDSoC environment, which allows you to design FPGA accelerated programs and video pipelines with ease in an entirely C/C++ environment. For more information on SDSoC, see the Xilinx SDSoC Site. Currently no SDSoC platform is available for the Arty Z7, but we will be releasing a Video capable platform with Linux support in the future. Those familiar with the older Xilinx ISE/EDK toolsets from before Vivado was released can also choose to use the Arty Z7 in that toolset. Digilent does not have many materials to support this, but you can always ask for help on the Digilent Forum. 1 Power Supplies The Arty Z7 can be powered from the Digilent USB-JTAG-UART port J14 or from some other type of power source such as a battery or external power supply. Jumper JP5 near the power switch determines which power source is used. A USB port can deliver maximum 0.5A of current according to the specifications. This should provide enough power for lower complexity designs. More demanding applications, including any that drive multiple peripheral boards or other USB devices, might require more power than the USB port can provide. In this case, power consumption will increase until it’s limited by the USB host. This limit varies a lot between manufacturers of host computers and depends on many factors. When in current limit, once the voltage rails dip below their nominal value, the Zynq is reset by the Power-on Reset signal and power consumption returns to its idle value. Also, some applications may need to run without being connected to a PC’s USB port. In these instances an external power supply or battery can be used. An external power supply e.g. wall wart can be used by plugging it into the power jack J18 and setting jumper JP5 to “REG”. The supply must use a coax, center-positive 2.1mm internaldiameter plug, and deliver 7VDC to 15VDC. Suitable supplies can be purchased from the Digilent website or through catalog vendors like DigiKey. Power supply voltages above 15VDC might cause permanent damage. A suitable external power supply is included with the Arty Z7 accessory kit.
