1 Getting Started with the MicroZed I/O Carrier Card
The Avnet MicroZed I/O Carrier Card (IOCC) enables hardware and software developers to expand the
capabilities of the MicroZed System-on-Module (SOM). Coupled together, the MicroZed SOM and IOCC
allow designers to create or evaluate Zynq™-7000 All Programmable SoC designs for both the Processor
Subsystem (PS) and the Programmable Logic (PL) fabric.
In addition to all the capabilities that the MicroZed SOM has in standalone, the IOCC powers and exposes
the PL I/Os, while also provided system power through the mezzanine MicroHeaders. The MicroZed PL
I/Os are connected on the IOCC to Digilent Pmod™ Compatible headers, LEDs, push-buttons, switches, a
clock, and a Xilinx Agile Mixed Signal (AMS) header.
This Getting Started Guide will outline the steps to setup the MicroZed SOM and IOCC hardware. It
documents the procedure to run a simple bare-metal design running on the ARM® dual-core Cortex™-A9
MPCore™ Processing System (PS) that interacts with the LEDs and push-buttons on the IOCC.
