Pin map

Pin assignments for the MYiR Z-Turn Z7-Lite SOM (Zynq-7020, xc7z020clg400-2). Authoritative source is vivado/constraints/zturn_board.xdc; this doc summarises the groupings + their routing rationale.

The Zynq has two distinct I/O domains:

  • MIO (54 pins, PS side) — Ethernet, USB, UART, SD, QSPI flash, I²C / SPI / GPIO routed off the Processing System. Configured in the block design (vivado/bd/), not constrained here.
  • PL I/O — the FPGA fabric pins. Z-Turn carrier breaks ~150 of these out via the baseboard, organised into LCD/HDMI, GPIO, and user-button banks. All are 3.3 V LVCMOS in our build.

The SOM has an on-board SiI9022A HDMI transmitter driven by a 16-bit RGB565 parallel bus on the LCD_DATA[15:0] pins. We map that as RGB565 directly (no FPGA-side TMDS encoding — the SiI9022A handles serialisation).

Internally the framebuffer / blitter / compositor operate on RGBA-8888 (see memory: internal_colour_format); the scan-out stage drops alpha and truncates RGB888 → RGB565 just before driving these pins.

The SiI9022A is configured by the PS over I²C0. These two pins route the PS-side I²C bus through PL fabric pins to the SiI9022A’s DDC channel.

UART (uart_tx / uart_rx) is MIO-routed via the PS-side USB-UART bridge; not assigned to PL pins in this build.

Derived from clk_50 inside the PL:

  • clk_sally (100 MHz) — SALLY 6502 core domain
  • clk_sys (133.3 MHz) — ANTIC + blitter + sally_mem main mem
  • clk_pix (148.4375 MHz) — plane_compositor → SiI9022A

The Z-Turn baseboard exposes additional GPIO headers, audio codec pins, FMC-LPC, and Pmod-style pin groups not currently used. None of these are constrained — Vivado leaves them floating, which is the intended state for the PL-only build.

Every PL net listed above uses LVCMOS33. Bank 34 on the Z-Turn SOM is wired to 3.3 V; no level-translation chips are present on the PL signal path.
