Description

The Alinx ACU5EV System-on-Module (SoM) delivers a complete, production-ready embedded platform centered on the AMD/Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC architecture. It combines a powerful application processing unit (APU) with a high-logic-density programmable fabric, enabling complex algorithm offloading and hardware acceleration. The module is built on 16nm FinFET+ technology, offering a balance of performance and power efficiency for compute-intensive tasks.

High-speed serial transceivers, including 4 PS-GTR lanes (up to 6 Gbps) and 4 PL GTH lanes (up to 12.5 Gbps for ZU4/5), provide the backbone for high-bandwidth communication protocols like PCIe and DisplayPort. This makes the SoM ideal for interfacing with high-resolution cameras, network interfaces, and custom FPGA IP cores. The board is supplied by a single 12V input, simplifying power system design for integration into larger systems.

Key Features

  • High-performance heterogeneous compute with ARM Cortex-A53 application cores and Cortex-R5 real-time cores.
  • Integrated Mali-400MP2 GPU for basic graphics acceleration and display output support.
  • Advanced 16nm UltraScale+ FPGA fabric for custom hardware acceleration and high-speed I/O processing.
  • Multiple high-speed serial transceivers (GTH/GTY) supporting PCIe, SATA, and multi-gigabit Ethernet.
  • Comprehensive memory subsystem with dedicated DDR4 for both processing system (PS) and programmable logic (PL).
  • Industrial temperature rating (-40°C to +85°C) for reliable operation in automotive and outdoor environments.
  • On-board eMMC and QSPI flash provide reliable boot media and mass storage options.
  • Compact 80mm x 60mm form factor with high-density connectors for easy integration into carrier boards.

Applications

  • Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning inference at the edge.
  • Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) and automotive computing.
  • Professional AV broadcasting, video encoding/decoding (H.264/H.265).
  • 5G wireless communication infrastructure and baseband processing.
  • Industrial IoT and high-performance digital signal processing (DSP).
  • Data center acceleration cards and network appliance control planes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary use case for the Alinx ACU5EV SoM?

The ACU5EV SoM is designed for high-performance embedded computing where hardware acceleration is critical. Its primary use cases include implementing AI inference pipelines, real-time video processing for broadcasting, signal processing in 5G systems, and acting as a central controller in advanced automotive or industrial automation platforms that require a blend of serial processing and parallel FPGA logic.

How do I power the ACU5EV System-on-Module?

The module requires a single 12V DC power supply connected through its designated power input connector. You must ensure your power source can provide sufficient current for the full system load, including any peripherals on your carrier board. Proper power sequencing, as defined in the Zynq UltraScale+ technical reference manual, must be implemented on your custom baseboard for reliable operation.

What development tools are needed to program the Zynq MPSoC on this SoM?

Development requires the AMD Vitis Unified Software Platform or the legacy Xilinx Vivado Design Suite and Vitis HLS. You will create hardware platform definitions (vivado) and application software (vitis) targeting the ARM Cortex-A53 and R5 cores. For initial bring-up and testing, a compatible JTAG debugger and a custom carrier board exposing the SoM's high-density connectors are necessary.

Can the on-board FPGA fabric be used for custom I/O interfaces?

Yes, the extensive programmable logic (PL) of the Zynq UltraScale+ device is fully available. You can develop custom IP cores in VHDL/Verilog or use High-Level Synthesis (HLS) to create accelerators that connect via AXI interfaces to the processing system. The PL GTH transceivers can be configured for protocols like 10G Ethernet, PCIe, or JESD204B, enabling custom high-speed data acquisition or communication links.
