BORA SOM - Zynq 7000

Processor: Xilinx "Zynq" XC7007S / XC7Z010 / XC7Z020

BORA is the top-class Single and Dual Cortex-A9 + FPGA CPU module by DAVE Embedded Systems, based on the recent Xilinx "Zynq" XC7Z007S / XC7Z014S / XC7Z010 / XC7Z020 application processor.

BORA offers great computational power, thanks to the rich set of peripherals, the Dual Cortex-A9 and the Artix-7 FPGA inside.

BORA is designed in order to keep full compatibility with the Ultra Line CPU modules, to guarantee the premium quality and technical value of those customers that requires top performances and flexibility.

Main Features

  • Unmatched performance thanks to Single/Dual ARM Cortex-A9 @800MHz
  • All memories you need: On board NOR and NAND Flash Memory
  • Enabling smarter system thanks to Artix-7 FPGA integrated on-chip
  • FPGA banks wide range PSU input from 1.2V to 3.3V
  • Highest security and reliability: Internal voltage monitoring and power good enable
  • Reduced carrier complexity: DUAL CAN, USB, Ethernet GB and native 3.3 V I/O
  • Easy to fit thanks to its small form factor
  • Precise timing application thanks to 5ppm RTC on board

Thanks to BORA, customers are going to save time and resources by using a compact solution that includes both a CPU and an FPGA, avoiding complexities on the carrier PCB. The use of this processor enables extensive system-level differentiation of new applications in many industry fields, where high-perfomance and extremely compact form factor (85mm x 50mm) are key factors. Smarter system designs are made possibile, following the trends in functionalities and interfaces of the new, state-of-the-art embedded products.

BORA enables designers to create rugged products suitable for harsh mechanical and thermal environments, allowing for the development of the most advanced and robust products. Thanks to the tight integration between the ARM-based processing system and the on-chip programmable logic, designers are free to add virtually any peripheral or create custom accelerators that extend system performance and better match specific application requirements.

BORA is suitable for high-end applications such as medical instrumentation, advanced communication systems, critical real-time operations and safety applications.
