PC104Z

PC104Z is based on the Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC family. This hardware is in PCIe104 form factor and adheres to its latest specification. It offers 4 Gen 2.0, x1 lane PCIe interfaces through a switch which allows 4 PCIe104 cards to be connected to the ARM on the Zynq which acts as the host. The board also offers 2 Gen 4.0, x4 lane PCIe connected to the PL parts which can act both as host and end points.  The additional interfaces offered by this card can be seen under the Features tab.

Depending on the choice of Zynq MPSoC (XCZU7EV / XCZU7EG/ XCZU11EG / XCZU7CG in  C1156 package) it can be used for High Performance Computing (HPC), digital communication or image processing, including AR/VR applications. Sundance supplies several frame grabber modules ranging from MIPI to Cameralink which can create a suitable platform for AR/VR solutions. There are a selection of MPSoC that can be used on this board, please contact us for details.

The platform can take standard FMC-based module for development. For applications needing additional real estate for the FMC auxiliary modules then one can develop a PCIe104 size card which can connect to the FMC connector on the main board. This will provide a way to resolve the heat and space issues.  This makes the hardware particularly suitable for high-end embedded applications with custom FMCs, offering more space and front panel area, which Sundance can help design.
