Hello @rappysaha,

You will need to have licenses for the HDMI TX Subsystem, HDMI RX Subsystem and the VPHY controller. You may request an evaluation license or purchase one here.

Hi @rappysaha,

I just wanted to let you know that I am looking at what our support plans are for the Genesys 5EV, and that I am waiting for some questions I had to get answered. I'll relay that information to you as soon as I get it myself.

Thank you,
AndrewHolzer

You can use Xilinx frame buffer write ip in this purpose. You can save as many frame as possible within the capacity of your ddr3 memory.
 

Readers of this thread (including myself) may be surprised to learn that I received a company email yesterday evening notifying me that the Genesys ZU 5EV has moved out of the prototyping phase and into the production phase.
I do not have a release date/timeline/quarter to share (despite me asking for one) or other details to share at the moment, but still wanted to give out this update. Screenshot of evidence attached as promised.  
Thanks,
JColvin
 

Hi @rappysaha,
I don't believe you will be able to do this as the appropriate IC's aren't loaded and the 3EG is lacking the GTH transcievers needed, as noted in the Genesys ZU Reference Manual and schematic. I have reached out to get official confirmation on this.
Thanks,
JColvin

I added the maximum theoretical data rates for SATA (600MB/s) and PCIe (500MB/s) to the reference manual. I do not have benchmarks at the moment, but I recommend mSATA. Good mSATA modules should bench at least 200MB/s read speed.

Hi @rappysaha,
I have not heard any updates at this point in time.
I will be sure to post any updates that I hear (and have verifiable evidence for) on this thread.
Thanks,
JColvin

The Genesys ZU was validated with a 16GB 2Rx8 ECC module (SQR-SD4I16G2K4SEBB).
The PS DDR4 controller is limited to 34GB, so theoretically a sixteen-component 2Rx8 module (32GB) would also work. Keep in mind that dual-rank components max out at a one step lower data rate (1600-3EG; 1866-5EV).

The latest information that I have heard is that we are hoping for a late Q1 release, though this can vary depending on a number of factors. If it's any consolation, it's a later release date than Digilent would like it to be as well.
