Avnet Electronics Marketing, an operating group of Avnet, Inc.
(NYSE: AVT), today announced availability of the MicroZed™ Carrier
Card Kit for Arduino™, a versatile Arduino-compatible carrier card
for Avnet’s MicroZed system-on-module (SOM). The platform enables
designers in markets including industrial control, remote sensing,
embedded vision and many other IoT-centric applications to quickly
develop prototypes that combine the MicroZed SOM with the large
ecosystem of Arduino shields. The kit is now available for $89.

The MicroZed Carrier Card Kit for Arduino features an UNO R3
Arduino-compatible shield interface that connects to the
programmable logic I/O on the MicroZed SOM. This allows designers
to develop custom interfaces between the shield circuits and the
programmable logic in the SoC.
In addition to the MicroZed-to-Shield interface, the carrier
card also includes a subset of Arduino-compatible connectors for
interfacing MicroZed to a low-power MCU Evaluation board (such as
Freescale’s Kinetis FRDM-KL46Z). This interface not only provides
connectivity between the MCU and processing system in the
Zynq®-7000 All Programmable SoC, but also allows the MCU to control
MicroZed's power rails, enabling use cases where power consumption
can be reduced by offloading routine tasks to the MCU, while
reserving Zynq SoC operation for the functions that require its
unique processing capabilities.
“Avnet’s MicroZed Carrier Card for Arduino provides our growing
base of MicroZed users with a highly versatile prototyping
platform,” said Peter Fenn, global technical marketing manager,
microcontrollers and wireless connectivity, Avnet Electronics
Marketing. “Through the combination of MicroZed, an MCU subsystem,
an Arduino shield and several expansion interfaces, designers will
be able to quickly develop their applications from a catalog of
off-the-shelf hardware modules, example software code and proven
reference designs.”
The Avnet-designed MicroZed Carrier Card Kit for Arduino
includes:
- MicroZed Carrier Card for Arduino
- Quick Start Card
- Reference Design software and
documentation
