Last Thursday I finally received the MiniZed development board from Element14. Many thanks to the community and the element14 judges for selecting me as one of the participants.
The development board was well packed and came in with some essential info on to-dos and don'ts with the MiniZed board. A humble USB cable for powering and some jumpers if needed I would guess.
As advertised the MiniZed ZYNQ kit should include the following things in the box
The Unboxing and Test
Powering on the MiniZed. All the LEDS look good to go.
As one can see on the reverse side the board has no support legs but mini rubber pads for sitting on the table. Although it has oddly placed 3 mounting holes from what it looks like (somehow not 4 mounting holes 
). For what purpose are these holes other than decorative no idea yet 
I am pretty sure these three not so equally placed holes will be able to support the board on its own.
As everyone else I have already received the training material for the MiniZed board as well from Xilinx.
And currently I am dedicating some time to go through the training material and do first programming with the MiniZED board.
