Parallella 7010 no GPIO - no Samtec Connectors
Posted: Wed Jun 11, 2014 2:23 pm
Been waiting 9 months for these babies - and my twin "No GPIO / Zynq7010" boards have finally arrived. Not yet given the traditional sharp smack on the bottom to power them into life.
But I was astonished when turning them over to find : NO Samtec Connectors at all!
OK, so I get the phrase "no GPIO" but why does that mean no PEC's at all? No North and South? No Power PEC? I cant see this mentioned in the manual, or anywhere.
The shop website still gives the following information for the 7010:
Now, I had no immediate plans to attempt to use any of the expansion ports, and intend to power up and get playing. But others who have ended up with 7010's like this may be dissappointed.
An explanation, please.
