Description

The Alinx AXU2CGA Development Board Kit provides a robust hardware platform centered on the AMD Zynq UltraScale+ ZU2CG MPSoC. This architecture merges a powerful application processing unit (APU) with a real-time processing unit (RPU) and programmable logic (PL), enabling developers to partition tasks between software running on the ARM cores and custom hardware accelerators implemented in the FPGA. The board’s design emphasizes high-bandwidth data acquisition and processing, making it ideal for compute-intensive edge applications.

Power management is handled via a single 12V DC input, simplifying system integration. The board’s 100mm x 85mm form factor is compact for its capabilities, fitting into space-constrained industrial enclosures. With its combination of high-speed serial interfaces, substantial memory, and expansion capabilities, the AXU2CGA serves as a foundational system for prototyping and deploying advanced embedded solutions in vision, networking, and control systems.

Key Features

  • Heterogeneous Processing Core: ARM Cortex-A53 quad-core for Linux applications and Cortex-R5 dual-core for deterministic real-time tasks.
  • Programmable Logic Integration: Leverage the 16nm UltraScale+ FPGA fabric for custom peripherals, signal processing pipelines, or hardware accelerators.
  • High-Speed Video Pipeline: Dual MIPI CSI-2 interfaces support simultaneous camera input for stereo vision or multi-sensor applications.
  • Comprehensive Industrial I/O: Includes Gigabit Ethernet, PCIe, USB 3.0, UART, and expansion headers for connecting a wide array of sensors and communication modules.
  • Robust Power & Thermal Design: Operates from a 12V supply and includes a pre-installed heatsink kit for sustained high-performance operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What software tools are used to develop for the Alinx AXU2CGA board?

Development primarily uses the AMD Vitis Unified Software Platform, which integrates the Vitis IDE for application acceleration and the Vivado Design Suite for FPGA logic. You can program the Processing System (PS) using PetaLinux or other ARM-compatible Linux distributions. The board is supported by Xilinx's extensive documentation and IP libraries for implementing custom hardware accelerators in the programmable logic (PL).

How do I connect cameras to the board's MIPI interfaces?

The two 2-lane MIPI CSI-2 interfaces are accessible via FPC connectors on the board. You will need compatible MIPI camera modules with matching connectors. In Vivado, you must configure the MIPI CSI-2 RX Subsystem IP core to match your camera's resolution and data rate. The video pipeline can then be directed to the DDR memory for software processing or into the FPGA fabric for real-time hardware-based image manipulation.

What is the power requirement and typical current draw for the AXU2CGA?

The board requires a single 12V DC power supply, provided with the kit. Actual current draw depends heavily on the utilization of the FPGA fabric and ARM cores. Under typical loads with the FPGA partially active, expect several amps from the 12V rail. The pre-installed heatsink is essential for dissipating heat during sustained high-performance operation, especially when leveraging the FPGA for compute-intensive tasks.
