Hi Randall (rscasny),
Do you think I ask too much if you can discuss with our kindly sponsor Avnet regarding adding their Ultra96 advanced course materials as one more award for the Path II Programmable training program?
I really enjoy the Path II Programmable training materials even it is only at the introductory level. It serves the training purpose very well - help trainees to overcome the challenge of developing with FPGA and encourage people dig further into the devices and use them in their projects and products. Using my own experiences as an example, I probably tried learning FPGA at least 5 times in the past 10 years, but never lasted more than a month each time. The biggest challenge was lack of detailed instructions plus very slow progress. On the other hand, this training program provides step-by-step instructions and gradually dig deeper and deeper. You can see the results and feel the achievement. It attracts me to finish the labs one by one. So far, I have completed the whole hardware training course - both videos and labs. It's a great journey and thank you and our sponsors for this great program. However, after finishing the hardware module, I feel there's a force luring me to learn more in FPGA design. Thus, I ask if you can discuss with our kindly sponsor Avnet regarding adding their Ultra96 advanced course materials as one more award.
Thanks again for organizing this great training program. It's an incredible journey for me so far. I will continue my journey and finish the remaining two modules.
