Title: TE0720-04 Backwards compatibility with TE0720-04
Post by: AlexSan on September 01, 2025, 11:54:00 AM
Hey guys. I own a TE0720-04 and a TE0720-03 SOMs. I have a bistream/vitis app built for the 03 device. My question is, is it possible to download this app without any extra mpodifications (meaning to built the whole this for a new device) to my 04 device? From what i could find the chip, pinout etc remained the same between these two versions and the only thing that changed are various analog part on the pcb.

Hello,
our prebuilt files for different hardware versions are generally compatible as far as possible. This always depends on the scope of the hardware changes.

For the TE0720 series, there were no changes affecting the prebuilt files, so you can use the same files for REV04 as for REV03. I therefore assume that your variant is identical for both revisions.

If you are using your own carrier or have modified the CPLD firmware, you may need to take the following PCNs (#8, #18) into account.

best regards,
Manuela
