The third port is connected to the MiniPCIe slot, an embedded USB port. This allows interfacing with
Bluetooth modules, for example.
6.3. USB 2.0 ‐ JTAG/Serial Bridge
The micro Type‐B connector J8 connects to an FTDI FT4232HQ USB bridge. It provides a JTAG interface
for programming and debugging, one UART interface connected to the MPSoC and one UART interface
connected to the Platform MCU. The UART interfaces are exposed as standard COM ports. Their exact
designator is determined upon enumeration, but the first one will always connect to the MPSoC and the
second one to the Platform MCU. The MPSoC UART interface is wired to the PS‐side MIO Bank 500:
UART_TXD_IN to MIO18 and UART_RXD_OUT to MIO19. Signal names that imply direction are from the
point‐of‐view of the DTE (Data Terminal Equipment), in this case the PC (e.g. UART_TXD_IN is the TXD
signal of the DTE, meaning it is an output of the DTE and an input of the DCE). The Digilent USB‐JTAG
function and the USB‐UART functions behave independent of one another. Support for USB‐JTAG in
Vivado is expected in version 2020.1. Read more in section JTAG Boot Mode.
7. Multimedia
7.1. DisplayPort Source
The dual‐lane mini DisplayPort connector J27 is wired to a PS‐side DisplayPort Controller via two PS‐GTR
transceiver lanes. Resolutions up to 4Kx2K@30fps are supported at a maximum 5.4Gbps line rate.

7.4. Audio Codec
The Genesys ZU board includes an Analog Devices ADAU1761 SigmaDSP audio codec (IC39)
complementing its multimedia features. Four 1/8" (3.5mm) audio jacks are available for line‐out (J20‐
green), headphone‐out (J19‐black), line‐in (J22‐blue), and microphone‐in (J21‐pink). Each jack carries
two channels of analog audio (stereo), with the exception of the microphone input, which is mono.
