The tutorials that can be downloaded for this board are good, but the syntax is not always correct. The spacing is incorrect in the PDF files so a little understanding of code syntax is helpful. Also, the code for the included sample files differs from the code in the tutorial but can be used as a starting point. A CR1220 battery is not included but can be installed to save data and time when the board is not powered on. This board has a good selection of onboard components that can be and are used in the tutorials to get started. Additionally, there are plenty of add on boards that can be used as well as user-built devices. The board contains 6 LEDs, 2 of which are PS (Processing Subsystem, Arm Cortex) and 4 of which are PL (Programable Logic, FPGA) controlled. It also contains 7 buttons, 1 reset buttons, 2 PS controlled buttons, and 4 PL controlled buttons. For add-on boards or usable IO there are expansion pins to include a 2-way 40 pin expansion port. The board is powered by an included 5-volt wall wart and is converted to 3.3v, 1.8v, 1.5v, and 1.0v using onboard DC/DC chips and can handle up to 3 amps. A nice option that Alinx has included are test points on each of the 4 DC voltages. Another great feature is the FTDI FT232HL chip allowing programming through the JTAG port directly to the board with the included mini USB cable. This option means that you do not have to buy a separate JTAG programmer. The board has a UART port and can be connected for serial communications with the board through a terminal program. Included with the kit is a pre-loaded Micro SD card with Linux installed and instructions to reload the card if needed. This is a great beginner board to learn FPGA programming and has all the features to get started. All parts on this board are genuine parts and the board itself is really good quality. The Vivado suite had no issues recognizing the board and programming it. The only issue that I have is that the DropBox link to download the tutorials and sample files is quite long. Also, as previously stated, the code in the pdf is not always correct requiring either knowledge of code syntax or further research to work out the issues. The Micro SD card reader that came with the kit worked but is not that great. Review: High quality board, poor documentation - I picked this up for a hardware dev project along with 2 other boards just like this one. Over the last months I have barely used any of the 3 of them due to the complexity of the boards and the very minimal documentation that is provided. After trying to email the company multiple times for information on the boards or possibilities of building the boards out more through collaboration; I received nothing back and as such I have stowed the cards / boards away for the future. I understand that there are mfg shortages at this point in time and maybe the company is not as interested in doing anything special but it would be nice to have full and proper documentation for those of us that aren't electrical engineers / scientists with unlimited time. I am a low level software engineer and was able to figure out some things on my own but because these boards are from a smaller company that doesn't seem to want to work with anyone; the myriad of FPGA software that is out there on github doesn't typically work on any of these boards / cards. If something changes in the future I will update this review but otherwise I cannot recommend these for anyone other than the most hardcore engineer / scientist who wants to figure it all out on their own. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07VNHCJC3 | | Best Sellers Rank | #15,030 in Single Board Computers (Computers & Accessories) | | Brand | ALINX | | Built-In Media | USB to UART, Gigabit Ethernet, HDMI, 12 PIN PS PMOD, 2 x 40-pin expansion port | | CPU Manufacturer | Xilinx | | Compatible Devices | Personal Computer | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 7 Reviews | | Included Components | USB to UART, Gigabit Ethernet, HDMI, 12 PIN PS PMOD, 2 x 40-pin expansion port | | Item Weight | 1.2 pounds | | Manufacturer | Alinx | | Mfr Part Number | Zynq-7000 | | Model Name | AX7010 AX7020 | | Model Number | AX7020 | | Operating System | Linux | | Processor Brand | Xilinx | | Processor Count | 2 | | RAM Memory Installed | 1 GB | | RAM Memory Technology | DDR3 | | Ram Memory Installed Size | 1 GB | | Total Usb Ports | 2 | | Wireless Compability | 802.11b | ## Product Details - **Brand:** ALINX - **Included Components:** USB to UART, Gigabit Ethernet, HDMI, 12 PIN PS PMOD, 2 x 40-pin expansion port - **Model Name:** AX7010 AX7020 - **Operating System:** Linux - **Ram Memory Installed Size:** 1 GB ## Images ![ALINX AX7020: Zynq-7000 SoC XC7Z020 FPGA Development Board - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71870BNV0QL.jpg) ![ALINX AX7020: Zynq-7000 SoC XC7Z020 FPGA Development Board - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71482U3OfJL.jpg) ![ALINX AX7020: Zynq-7000 SoC XC7Z020 FPGA Development Board - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Z+W5amKAL.jpg) ![ALINX AX7020: Zynq-7000 SoC XC7Z020 FPGA Development Board - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Ry+iUPYhL.jpg) ![ALINX AX7020: Zynq-7000 SoC XC7Z020 FPGA Development Board - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/612MzTF65eL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great FPGA development board for beginners to learn FPGA Programming. *by D***L on October 3, 2020* Great FPGA development board for beginners to learn FPGA Programming.

The link to the included materials in a zip are fantastic and comprehensive, there's a LOT of material there to get you going and learn. GBs worth. Someone uploaded all of it onto GitHub a while back if you want to search for it there and see what you're getting. For the chipset, I've seen some other boards that do not have this level of quality. The box and packaging for this board were immaculate and the board itself is quite beautiful almost, encased nicely in its acrylic frame. I have played around with it at the basic level and everything works, once I gain more experience with it I may update my review. Everything was as advertised and is functional. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/181707664-alinx-ax7020-zynq-7000-soc-xc7z020-fpga-development-board](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/181707664-alinx-ax7020-zynq-7000-soc-xc7z020-fpga-development-board) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-10-21*
