Review on ALINX Zynq 7000 Artix 7 Development Zedboard by Justin Ritter

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very powerful, feature-rich SBC

on-board computer. It has 4GB of RAM and plenty of I/O (analog and digital) to handle all kinds of projects and tasks. It accepts 5 volts DC. There are 6 buttons that can be programmed for any need. It comes with HDMI and RTC. You can run Linux distributions on it, so it can do pretty much anything you can think of. The processor is fast enough for most applications, and when used for control or data acquisition, it's fast enough. A well designed and implemented SBC that represents a step forward from Pi4 in IO and speed. The greenhouse control has been running for 6 weeks without any problems.

Pros
  • Recommended Xilinx XC7Z010-1CLG400, based on Xilinx Zynq-7000 SoC, with 650 MHz dual-core Cortex-A9 processor and DDR3 memory controller with 8 DMA channels
Cons
  • Annoying
