User Manual

The Eclypse Z7 is a powerful prototyping platform, featuring Xilinx's Zynq-7000 APSoC. Two SYZYGY interface connectors are
featured, enabling high speed modular systems.
Eclypse is designed to enable high speed analog data capture and analysis right out of the box. It is a platform for research and rapid
prototyping of test and measurement applications, potentially including software defined radio, ultrasound, other medical devices, and
much more. As a host board for Zmods applications for the Eclypse can vary significantly between system configurations.
Petalinux is supported out
of the box. Pre-built Linux images are accompanied by a software API (Application Programming Interface)
for bulk data transfer. This system allows new users to get started without touching hardware until desired. The software supports a
variety of common programming languages, including Python, C/C++, and more. Digilent offers fully open and customizable hardware
designs, Linux images, and Linux software applications.
