2. Trenz Product Series

Status as of 2026-09-18.

Legend

  • Yes = device is included in the free tier
  • No = device requires a paid tier (Enterprise resp. Core/Pro/Enterprise-Gold)
  • Partial* = this series has both free and non-free assembly options – see the Article Number Pattern (FPGA) and Reason columns
  • N/A = not an AMD/Xilinx device (different vendor/toolchain, not part of the Vivado licensing model) or a legacy Xilinx product without Vivado support
  • ? (in article numbers) = any character; only the FPGA-relevant positions of the Trenz article number encoding (the FPGA device) are shown, revision, speed grade, temperature grade and non-FPGA options (memory, flash, connectors, …) are masked

4. Page Change Log

DateAuthorChange
2026-10-07John HartfielExample article numbers now show only the FPGA-relevant part of the Trenz article number encoding, i.e. only the FPGA device code with revision, speed grade, temperature grade and all non-FPGA options masked (e.g. TE0745-??-8??????? for XC7Z035); devices with only older, special (Sxxx) or prototype (Pxxx) articles are shown with the encoding of their FPGA device as well; the Example column is now filled for every series, including those without a Reason; CG/EG/EV variants of the same Zynq UltraScale+ size share one pattern; TE0300 (Spartan-3) has no article number encoding. Column renamed from "Example Article Number(s)" to "Article Number Pattern (FPGA)". For series marked Partial*, the article number patterns are additionally split into devices included and not included in the respective free tier. Added the UG973 document version and release date to the Sources. Swapped the Reason and Article Number Pattern (FPGA) columns so the often long but mostly empty Reason column is last.
2026-10-07John HartfielRemoved Section 2.2 (Series with Mixed License Status) and merged its Reason and Example Article Number(s) columns into the series overview table (now the only table in Section 2, sub-chapter heading 2.1 removed); for multi-device series, each article-number line is prefixed with its FPGA device (TE0950: grouped by board variant, since every TE0950 carries a Versal plus an XC7A35T as FMC extender/level shifter). Corrected TE0950 Basic Tier 26.1 status from Partial* to No, since no variant can be built without a Versal license.
2026-09-18John HartfielReworked the formatting of Sections 1 and 2: device and article-number cells are now shown as bullet lists throughout, added the "No Vivado support – ISE only" reason for the legacy Spartan-3/Spartan-6 series, and consolidated Section 2.2 rows that share the same series, reason and license status into a single row per group (57 rows reduced to 28).
2026-09-18John HartfielRemoved a number of discontinued series from Sections 2.1/2.2: per overview_main.csv, every article of each removed series has DB_Inaktiv = True.
2026-09-18John HartfielMoved the “Sources” list out of the page intro into its own chapter, placed right before the Page Change Log.
2026-09-18John HartfielRemoved the source-data, series-count and revision-selection explanatory notes to shorten the page.
2026-09-18John HartfielRestructured the page: merged the Trenz series overview and the mixed-license-status detail table into one parent chapter “Trenz Product Series” (as sub-chapters 2.1/2.2).
2026-09-18John HartfielCorrected the family/license classification for XC2VE3358/XC2VE3858 (TE0960/TE0965): these are AMD Versal™ AI Edge Series Gen 2 devices, not legacy Virtex-2 – the license status (No/No) is unchanged, but the family label and reason text are now correct.
2026-09-17John HartfielExample article numbers in the mixed-license-status detail table now prefer the highest revision number per device (previously picked the first 3 alphabetically, which could surface superseded revision 00/01 articles ahead of the current one).
2026-09-17John HartfielReplaced raw Unicode special characters (checkmarks, en/minus dashes, curly quotes, arrows, ellipsis) with HTML entities throughout the page; the raw characters were being mangled by Confluence on upload (e.g. “❌ Restricted” showing as garbled bytes).
2026-09-17John HartfielAdded this Page Change Log.
2026-09-17John HartfielAdded the “Trenz Series Overview” and “Series with Mixed License Status” sections, derived from Trenz_lizenz.md, showing the ML Standard/Basic Tier license status per Trenz board series.
2026-09-17John HartfielCorrected the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC entry-tier device list: removed XCZU6CG/XCZU6EG (never part of the free tier) and added XCZU3TCG/XCZU3TEG, verified against the live AMD UG973 documentation (2025.2 and 2026.1).
2026-09-17John HartfielRemoved the former Sections 1, 3, 4 and 5 (license model overview, top-tier Enterprise/Pro/Core comparison, feature matrix, summary); the page now covers only the entry-tier (ML Standard vs. Basic) device comparison table.
