The heart of the AX7010 board is the AMD Zynq 7000 SoC XC7Z010 , which integrates a PS processor system and programmable logic PL. The PS part contains two ARM Cortex-A9 cores , memory controllers, and communication interfaces, allowing it to perform typical microprocessor tasks and run complex software. The PL part is based on the Artix-7 FPGA architecture and allows for the creation of custom digital systems operating in parallel. It can be responsible for fast image processing, signal generation, support for custom interfaces, or the implementation of algorithms requiring low latency. The combination of ARM and FPGA enables the division of tasks between the software and hardware layers , facilitating the construction of efficient real-time systems.
