MYIR’s MYD-CZU3EG-ISP a vision edge computing platform built around the powerful Zynq-7000 SoC (System on Chip) family.  The MYD-CZU3EG-ISP development board integrates the Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ ZU3EG SoC, however, the platform can be customized to integrate the EV and CG models.

The standard model of the MYD-CZU3EG-ISP packs the Zynq UltraScale+ ZU3EG MPSoC which provides a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 (up to 1.2GHz), a dual core real time Arm Cortex-R5 up to 600MHz), a Mali 400 embedded GPU and flexible FPGA fabric.

The XCZU3EG SoC model features 154 Logic Cells, 141 CLB Flip-Flops, 71 CLB LUTs, 7.6Mb Block Ram, 360 DSP slices and a PS-GTR4x (6GB/s) GTX transceiver. MYIR mentioned they could configure their vision development board to integrate the EV or the CG model if customers require it. The table below summarizes the differences between these Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC devices.

The Processor System Unit (PS Unit) of the MYD-CZU3EG-ISP handles one USB host, one USB-UART interface, one TF card slot and one Gigabit ethernet port. On the other hand, the Programmable Logic Unit (PL Unit) features support for one HDMI interface, one Gigabit ethernet port, one USB 3.0 device, one 40-pin MIPI-CSI interface and one 50-pin I/O expansion interface. The latter two peripherals are available as FPC connectors located on the rear of the base board.

According to MYIR, the built-in ISP core of the MYD-CZU3EG-ISP has superior noise filtering capabilities and is efficient at separating objects in motion from backgrounds. Furthermore, the device implements a Digital Wide Dynamic Range and a super 3D denoise technology used to restore data from ultra-low light settings.

For software development, MYIR provides drivers for the camera, I/O peripherals (ethernet, HDMI, QSPI, etc), file system examples, FSBL and kernel support. The development board also comes with Linux pre-installed. Refer to the Software section on this page for additional details.
