The OSDZU3-REF if a powerful development and evaluation platform for the OSDZU3 System in Package. Based on the UltraZed PCIe Carrier Card from Avnet, the OSDZU3-REF is a 4 layer design that features an extensive set of peripherals, including USB 3.0, SATA, Display port, Gigabit Ethernet, and LVDS touch panel support. There are several storage options including eMMC and SD card(primary boot). It also has a host of expansion headers including a FMC LPC, a number of PS and PL PMOD, and 100 mil headers, allowing you to customize and prototype. The OSDZU3-REF comes preinstalled with a PetaLinux image that features a number of demos, allowing you to get up and running in minutes.
The OSDZU3-REF has everything you need to evaluate and begin development with the OSDZU3.
Here are a couple of videos that give you an overview of what comes with the OSDZU3-REF and the features and peripherals that are on it.

* The OSDZU3-REF BSP 2023.1 uses the traditional sysvinit init system and does not fully support the Weston Windowing system. This may cause display glitches like trailing cursor/windows on DP or LVDS outputs. There is a suggested work around that requires applying patches and moving from sysvinit to systemd, however, this has not been verified.
