The Cora Z7 can be purchased with either a Zynq-7010 or Zynq-7007S loaded. These two Cora Z7 product variants are referred to as the
Cora Z7-10 and Cora Z7-07S, respectively. When Digilent documentation describes functionality that is common to both of these variants,
they are referred to collectively as the “Cora Z7”. When describing something that is only common to a specific variant, the variant will be
explicitly called out by its name.
The only difference between the Cora Z7-10 and Cora Z7-07S is the capability of the Zynq part. The Zynq processors both have the same
capabilities, but the -10 has about a 1.2 times larger internal FPGA and an additional processor core, as compared to the -07S. The
differences between the two variants are summarized below:

Note: Due to the sizes of the FPGAs in the Zynq-7010 and Zynq-7007S, they are not very well suited to be used in SDSoC for embedded vision applications.
We recommend people purchase the Arty Z7-20
(https://reference.digilentinc.com/reference/programmable-logic/arty-z7/start)
if they are interested in these
types of applications.
The Cora Z7 is fully compatible with Xilinx’s high-performance Vivado Design Suite. This toolset melds FPGA logic design and embedded
ARM software development into an easy to use, intuitive design flow. It can be used for designing systems of any complexity, from a
complete operating system running multiple server applications in tandem, down to a simple bare-metal program that controls some LEDs.
