The board can be purchased stand-alone or with an accessory kit that contains a 12V/3A power adapter, 10 foot
Ethernet cable, USB A to Micro-B cable, and an 8GB, speed class 10 microSD card loaded with the PYNQ image is
available. For more information on purchasing, see the PYNQ Product Page.
1 Power Supplies
The PYNQ-Z1 can be powered from the Digilent USB-JTAG-UART port (J14) or from some other type of power
source such as a battery or external power supply. Jumper JP5 (near the power switch) determines which power
source is used.
