Path to Programmable - Blog 3 - First Light

Here are the objectives for the first few labs:

The instructions were very clear, although I'm not sure of all the why yet, I managed to output some ASCII

The lab pdfs link to a 790pg technical reference manual for your reading pleasure.....ug585-Zynq-7000-TRM.pdf

Once Vivado and the SDK are configured for the MiniZed hardware, the actual code is minimal.

Time to watch some more videos......

Hi David,
I'm using 2018.2.1 with windows10 and everything works OK (so far).

Hi David,

I would stick with 2018.2 you have installed. I don't know if there are particular requirements for this course to force you to use version 2017.4, but I would think it is OK if you use 2018.2 instead. The only problems could be caused if you had to import a project created with an earlier version of Vivado, mostly due to slight differences in the IP libraries of the 2 versions, but usually you can solve them by upgrading all the IP modules used in the projects (which is usually successful for such close versions of Vivado).

Do you know if Vivado 2017.4 is a necessity, or just links up nicely with the course? I've installed 2018.2 for use with an Arty S7 and don't really want to have 2 versions - especially with the ridiculous size of the installs!
