The AXU3EG is a SOM (System-On-Module) preinstalled on a carrier board with many advanced ports to make your FPGA development work fast and hassle free. The SOM model installed is ACU3EG.
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 AXU3EG is a development platform having the Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC EG (XCZU3EG-1SFVC784I).
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.
