Description
The ALINX MPSoc boards were designed around the Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC for flexibility and scalability. As the 2nd generation Zynq platform, it combines a powerful Processing System (PS) and User-Programmable Logic (PL) into the same device.
The ALINX AXU2CG-E is a development platform having the Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC ZU2CG (XCZU2CG-1SFVC784E).
Software support: Xilinx's Vivado and Vitis (both paid and free version).
Learning materials and demo source code are available to get you started in no time.
