Summary
In a new YouTube video series, Rich tests the AMD Zynq-7000 SoC by creating a development board and examining its features and functions, such as HDMI, USB and DDR RAM.
Upon completion of the board, Rich manages to boot PetaLinux, a customized version of Linux for embedded devices.
Zynq SoC combines an ARM Cortex-A9 Based APU with either an Artix-7, Kintex-7 or Spartan-7 depending on the model.
Following its acquisition of Xilinx, the company responsible for Zynq, by AMD, the chip is now considered to be part of AMD’s product offering.
