Yeah, that's an issue. I don't think it is a big problem for driving a couple stepper drivers, but a careful review of the pin-outs will be important before actually powering anything or you could fry the Soc+FPGA. > 2) It might be hard to run Linux as there is no CPU on this board.

I mean the Arty Z7 with the dual-core ARM Cortex A9: http://store.digilentinc.com/arty-z7-apsoc-zynq-7000-development-board-for-makers-and-hobbyists/ > What baffles me is that if you are using these boards for a Day Job them > you must know a lot more about them then I do.

I do mean the ones that can run Linux. Sadly, it's $150 and not $100, but that's not too bad. If you want a board for around $100, the DE0-Nano-SoC is in that price range, and it's replacement the DE10-Nano is in-between ($130). > On Thu, Dec 21, 2017 at 5:45 PM, Charles Steinkuehler < > char...@steinkuehler.net> wrote: > >> Anyone got a recipe or scripts for generating a working Zynq uSD image >> that includes Machinekit?
