Cheap Arm SBC Board Hardware Features
Zynq® UltraScale+™ MPSoC devices offer 64-bit processor scalability, combining real-time control with soft and hard engines for graphics, video, waveform, and packet processing. Built on a platform with a common real-time processor and programmable logic, they come in three variants: dual application processor (CG) devices, quad application processor and GPU (EG) devices, and video codec (EV) devices, each tailored for different application needs.
Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoCs
The Zynq UltraScale+ family ensures footprint compatibility, allowing users to easily migrate designs between devices. Any two packages with the same footprint identifier code (the last letter and number sequence) are compatible. MYIR uses the XCZU3EG-1SFVC784E MPSoC for the MYD-CZU3EG Development Board by default. The C784 package offers the broadest footprint compatibility, enabling users to choose devices from the CG, EG, and EV variants.
