Xilinx's latest Zynq-7000 series chip is an SOC platform that integrates processor hard core and programmable logic. After the launch, the ZEDBOARD development board that is the core of Zynq-7000 chip last year is even launched. Not seeking. The ZynQ-7000 features a 28nm process, high performance, low power consumption, etc., the most important features are programmable logic of dual-core ARM® CortexTM-A9 (processor system PS) and Xilinx (programmable logic) PL) is integrated into a separate chip. Thus, the ARM processing system and the Xilinx 7 series programmable logic are perfectly combined, and users can create unique and powerful designs.
The Zynq-7000 fully programmable SOC is particularly extensive, especially the intelligent solution for various system design issues. ZING is a high performance development board based on Sauli Scalable Processing Platform Architecture by Beijing Weiwei. Beijing Weijing Rui Technology Co., Ltd. is a domestic leading enterprise in the field of software radio and high-performance signal processing, and the red hurricane is its FPGA development board brand, providing basic platforms, field platforms and market platform all-round solutions. Previously, the panel also did the red Hurricane E series development board. The red hurricane development board has become the most popular product development platform in China.
The ZING development kit is the first ZYNQ-7000 chip based development platform based on domestic design, and Wei Shi has launched a series of ZING development kits and FMC expansion boards. The pavilion is fortunate to get the sample in the first time, including the Zing RDK research kit and the Zing SK entry suite. The Zing RDK research kit is composed of a zing general development platform and a FMC module (including dual HD image sensor and 7 inch resistance touch screen), mainly for scientific innovation and educational users. Not much to say, let's take a look at the exquisite real thing.
ZING RDK packaging is very beautiful, open the box, did not expect the accessories very rich, even with USB extension line, very powerful.

The development board still uses a big red PCB of red hurricane, first seeing is a large 7-inch LCD screen. ZING RDK consists of two boards, under the zing general development board, which is an FMC expansion board.
Remove the fixed screw, you can see the following zing development board, the development plate size is 20cm x 15cm, the device is dense, and it is a lot of resources. There is also a lot of jumpers, and the scalp is numb, it should be not so simple. A plate.
Most devices are on the front side of the board, and have not carefully studied the user manual. The main parameters of Zing RDK are as follows:
Zynq-7000 XC7Z020-1CLG484C EPP
1GB DDR3 SDRAM Memory Particles (4 256MB × 8)
Clock source: 33.33MHz LVCMOS crystal; 50MHz LVCMOS crystal
USB2.0 ULPI transceiver
TF card connector
CAN bus transceiver
I2C bus, it mainly multiplexed for the following modules: SII9134CTU HDMI interface; 24LC02 EEPROM (1KB); RTC-8564JE real-time clock
USB-TO-UART interface
Gigabit Ethernet interface with RJ45 connector
HDMI interface
Two FMC LPC I / O expansion interfaces
4 LED lights
4-way button and 2-way dial switch
XADC connector, JTAG interface, etc.
The zing RDK research kit also includes an FMC extended card FMC-DCL module with a 2-way FMC interface on the zing general development board.
The flexible cable of the back is too long
The main resources of the FMC-DCL module include:
Dual 5 megapixel CMOS image sensor supports stereo image acquisition
7-inch touch LCD screen
Stereo audio input and output
Getting the board is missing, I want to think about the work, there is a very comprehensive information in the matching CD of Zing RDK, then take a closer study. Other interfaces are temporary, just plug in power adapter.
Open the power switch on the board, the LCD is on, after a few seconds, a Linux boot program is displayed on the LCD screen.
The "Zynq>" prompt appears after the boot program starts complete, and a few seconds will automatically enter a QT interface.
You can now directly operate directly, because it is a resistive touch LCD screen, which is really uncomfortable for habitual finger operation. Qt interface can make some simple settings, such as enable video, mirror, single dual selection, and test image display, etc.
Test image
There are two 5 megapixel COMS image sensors on the FMC-DCL module, and the two video screens can be displayed on the LCD screen. The image was blurred when the image was started, and finally, she knew that the camera on the board was able to focus.
The lens can rotate the tuning distance, even can be rotated down to see the CMOS sensor under the bottom.
The camera's image is black and white, and the effect is different from the 5 megapixel camera camera we usually say. The collected image is the native CMOS image, without any processing.
ZING RDK supports Linux systems, with an operating system instance -Xillinux in the CD. Xillinux is based on Linaro, running in the zing platform, based on the Debian distribution and GNOME desktop environment. The system has multiple applications, including file browsers, Firefox web browsers, etc., their operations and applications are the same as ordinary desktop Ubuntu, and the system has built-in GCC compiler, and users can compile the source code program. Subsequent evaluation will be introduced one by one.
Conclusion
The ZING development kit is the first Zynq-7000 chip based in China based on the development platform based on the Zynq-7000 chip. The Zing RDK research kit includes Zing General Development Platforms and dual HD image sensors and 7-inch liquid crystal screen that supports multiple open source operating systems. The pavilion network will share the Zing FPGA SOC development platform for the first time, and there will be more evaluation. At present, this development kit can already be introduced in the Red Hurricane website, but the price has not been announced, and if you buy it, you need to ask directly.
