MicroZed™ is a low-cost development board based on the Xilinx Zynq®-7000 All Programmable SoC. Its unique design allows it to be used as both a stand-alone evaluation board for basic SoC experimentation, or combined with a carrier card as an embeddable system-on-module (SOM). MicroZed contains two I/O headers that provide connection to two I/O banks on the programmable logic (PL) side of the Zynq®-7000 All Programmable SoC device. In stand-alone mode, these 100 PL I/O are inactive. When plugged into a carrier card, the I/O are accessible in a manner defined by the carrier card design.
Note: There is nothing which makes the Zynq specifically suited for high bandwidth or camera applications etc. What makes it special is the combination of a microcontroller (hardened arm cores) and FPGA fabric. For us, the main reason to go with the Zynq was the availability of the MicroZed for a reasonable price.
If we would have built our own 'MicroZed' (which we'll probably do one day) it probably wouldn't use a Zynq.
