Enclustra Mars ZX3 - 1 Overview; General; Introduction; Warranty

1 Overview
1.1 General
1.1.1 Introduction
The Mars ZX3 SoC module combines the Xilinx Zynq®-7020 All Programmable SoC (System-on-Chip) de-
vice with fast DDR3 SDRAM, NAND flash, quad SPI flash, a Gigabit Ethernet PHY, USB 2.0 On-The-Go PHY
and a real-time clock, forming a complete and powerful embedded processing system.
The SO-DIMM form factor allows space-saving hardware designs and quick and simple integration of the
module into the target application.
The use of the Mars ZX3 SoC module, in contrast to building a custom SoC hardware, significantly reduces
development effort and redesign risk and improves time-to-market for the embedded system.
Together with Mars base boards, the Mars ZX3 SoC module allows the user to quickly build a system pro-
totype and start with application development.
The Enclustra Build Environment [15] is available for the Mars ZX3 SoC module. This build system allows
the user to quickly set up and run Linux on any Enclustra SoC module. It allows the user to choose the
desired target and download all the required binaries, such as bitstream and FSBL (First Stage Boot Loader).
It downloads and compiles all required software, such as U-Boot, Linux, and BusyBox based root file system.
1.1.2 Warranty
Please refer to the General Business Conditions, available on the Enclustra website [1].
1.1.3 RoHS
The Mars ZX3 SoC module is designed and produced according to the Restriction of Hazardous Substances
(RoHS) Directive (2011/65/EC).
1.1.4 Disposal and WEEE
The Mars ZX3 SoC module must be properly disposed of at the end of its life.
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive (2002/96/EC) is not applicable for the Mars
ZX3 SoC module.
1.1.5 Safety Recommendations and Warnings
Mars modules are not designed to be “ready for operation” for the end-user. These can only be used in
combination with suitable base boards. Proper configuration of the hardware before usage is required.
Ensure that the power supply is disconnected from the board before inserting or removing the Mars ZX3
SoC module, connecting interfaces, replacing SD cards and batteries, or connecting jumpers.
Touching the capacitors of the DC-DC converters can lead to voltage peaks and permanent damage; over-
voltage on power or signal lines can also cause permanent damage to the module.
