Hi Steve You forgot reply all and your message went off the list, So I have pasted it below.
Excuse me, I am still learning, but how do you compare a Zynq 7010 to a > Ultrascale+. ? > > Steve C > Well you don't that'a the point you can compare a the Zynq to a Beaglebone or a rpi3. The Ultra96 is mpsoc (Ultrascale+ with mali 400) so that why I point at the ZCU104 (similar cpu as rpi4). Don't let the price fool you.
