The Arty Z7 can be purchased with either a Zynq-7010 or Zynq-7020 loaded. These two Arty Z7 product variants are referred to as the
Arty Z7-10 and Arty Z7-20, respectively. When Digilent documentation describes functionality that is common to both of these variants,
they are referred to collectively as the “Arty Z7”. When describing something that is only common to a specific variant, the variant will be
explicitly called out by its name.
The only difference between the Arty Z7-10 and Arty Z7-20 are the capabilities of the Zynq part and the amount of I/O available on the
shield connector. The Zynq processors both have the same capabilities, but the -20 has about a 3 times larger internal FPGA than the -10.
The differences between the two variants are summarized below:
Product Variant Arty Z7-10 Arty Z7-20
Zynq Part XC7Z010-1CLG400C XC7Z020-1CLG400C
1 MSPS On-chip ADC () Yes Yes
Look-up Tables (LUTs) 17,600 53,200
Flip-Flops 35,200 106,400
Block RAM () 270 KB 630 KB
Clock Management Tiles 2 4
Available Shield I/O 26 49
On the Arty Z7-10, the inner row of the digital shield (IO26-IO41) and IOA (also referred to as IO42) are not connected to the FPGA, and
A0-A5 can only be used as analog inputs. This will not affect the functionality of most existing Arduino shields, because most do not use
this inner row of digital signals.
The board can be purchased stand-alone or with a voucher to unlock the Xilinx SDSoC toolset. The SDSoC voucher unlocks a 1 year
license and can only be used with the Arty Z7. After the license expires, any version of SDSoC that was released during this 1 year period
can continue to be used indefinitely. For more information on purchasing, see the Arty Z7 Product Page (http://store.digilentinc.com/arty-
z7-apsoc-zynq-7000-development-board-for-makers-and-hobbyists/). At the time of purchase, it is also possible to add-on a microSD card, 12V
3A power supply, and micro USB cable as needed.
Note that due to the smaller FPGA in the Zynq-7010, it is not very well suited to be used in SDSoC for embedded vision applications. We
recommend people purchase the Arty Z7-20 if they are interested in these types of applications.
Arty Z7-20 shares the exact same SoC with the PYNQ-Z1. Feature-wise, Arty Z7-20 is missing the microphone input, but adds a Power-on
Reset button. Software written for PYNQ-Z1 should run unchanged with the exception of microphone input, whose FPGA pin is left
unconnected.
