A Zynq SoC in a Feather form factor #Feather #FeatherFriday @PcbArts
The Xilinx Zynq SoC combines energy efficiency and performance in the smallest possible space. When PCB Arts became aware of this chip, they started an open source project. This is an FPGA development board in the Adafruit Feather form factor.
The 2.29 x 5.08cm large and 8-layer board is ideal for hobby and professional applications. Due to its small size and enormous computing power, versatile use cases can be realized.
Features:
866 MHz Dual-core ARM Cortex A9 MPCore
1,8 MB Block RAM
USB-C
The Zynq Feather has been shown booting into Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
I recently stumbled upon a tiny 15mm X 15mm fan, and thought I might have a use case for it. Axial fans unfortunately do not like obstacles near the inlet or the outlet. I will do a simulation to check if this construction with a fan really has a thermal advantage.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
