The PYNQ-Z2 is a development board built around the ZYNQ XC7Z020 FPGA. It has been specifically designed to support the open-source PYNQ framework, which allows embedded programmers to explore the capabilities of Xilinx ZYNQ SoCs without having to design programming logic circuits. With its advanced ARM processor and programmable logic, designers can create powerful embedded systems with ease. The PYNQ-Z2 board offers a range of features including Ethernet, HDMI input/output, MIC input, audio output, Arduino interface, Raspberry Pi interface, 2 Pmod, user LED, push-button, and switch. It is also highly extensible, with support for Pmod, Arduino, and peripherals, as well as general-purpose GPIO pins. Programmers can write their code in Python and test it directly on the board, with programmable logic circuits imported as hardware libraries and programmed through APIs in much the same way as software libraries.
