Documentation of the UltraZohm
The UltraZohm is a powerful real-time computation platform for research, development, and rapid-control prototyping of power electronics and drive systems. Development is driven by researchers for researches to accelerate research by establishing a common control platform. Having a common platform enables the active research community to focus on publication and results, while the platform development is a shared effort.
High Computational power: Four ARM A53, two ARM R5, and a large FPGA provided by a Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC (ZU9EG).
Hard real-time: Designed to meet modern control systems’ timing requirements for power electronics.
Open Source: Platform with no black-boxes and no barriers for your research. Adapt to your needs and use as you like.
Modularity: Extend the platform with your own hardware (adapter cards), IP-Cores and software components.
Usability: Novice friendly with tutorials and existing codebase. Expert friendly with access to the last bit.
Community: Connect to other researchers working on the same platform and solve infrastructure problems only once!
Documentation: Comprehensive and ever-growing documentation for the Ultrazohm on docs.ultrazohm.com.
Funded: Project development is funded by the BMBF with the research grant KI-Power.
