It was kind of a bucket raffle where you earned points and could "bid" on the prize of your choosing. The PYNQ-Z2 happened to come with a small pink unicorn and some other pink stuff. I have one granddaughter and (at the time) she loved unicorns. Decision made. Anyway... Part of this adventure is to try to catch up to the times. It may not be new technology, but there's a benefit to walking the path. And... I could use some programming refreshing. There are two PYNQ workshops. Finding the materials for the first one took a bit more digging. The Resources block that comes along with the webinar recordings can provide you the lab manual. Or, you could use the link below (found in the lab manual). It also contains the Notebooks and files you will need. You will also want to use the Search feature here on the community. There is good stuff buried in some of the older posts. 2020 PYNQ Workshop Manuals and Files: https://github.com/ATaylorCEngFIET/Element14_PYNQ/tree/master I am using PYNQ-Z2 image v3.1.1, downloaded from https://www.pynq.io/boards.html . I'm sure that I'll have issues finding the right version of Vivado and Vitas to use. I'll cross that bridge when it is time. One thing to note: It takes a long time for the board to boot. It takes about 135 seconds to boot. The first time trying to use pynq:9090, I thought it failed and fired up Putty to make sure that I was communicating. When the four lights next to the four buttons illuminate, then you can use pynq:9090 to interact with the board. Programming seems pretty direct. This is my first try at Jupyter Notebooks, so that is interesting. Right now, it looks like HTML with a few bits of code to me, but I'm getting to like it. As for playing with the notebook to get it to do other things... I had already stumbled across the code snippets while looking for other stuff. That made it easier. *I'm also curious to see if I still get the badge.pynqstarterhttps://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/project14/pynqworkshop/m/managed-videos/143500Wed, 10 Nov 2021 21:03:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:37afbef7-4ccf-4756-8a71-8850e154ca7ayurictsPing Pong Shooter test3dpingponghttps://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/project14/pynqworkshop/m/managed-videos/143499Wed, 10 Nov 2021 21:03:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:1f0331fb-1797-48e5-9517-a73c6ead2b3byuricts3d printed Ping Pong Shooter3dpingponghttps://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/project14/pynqworkshop/w/setupWed, 10 Nov 2021 04:40:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:39033b3e-5131-4d04-8397-b6ced11aec37ChristyZThe documents in this Wiki can be used to populate widgets on the group home page. "Featured Content Triptych Setup Doc" contains the 3 featured items - image, descriptive text, and button, that you can edit to change the image, text and link/button text as appropriate for this group. If there isn't already a 3-box widget showing on the home page for this group, to display the document, you will need to get someone with Admin rights (one of the Devs or Pauline's team) to add a Wiki Viewer widget for you and insert the url to the document. From then on, you will be able to update the content of that widget by making changes to the document. "Featured Video Setup Doc" lets you embed a video - YouTube, Brightcove, or an image that links to a document somewhere on the site that contains the video - and that can also be put into a Wiki Viewer (in the skinny column) using the url. From then on, that widget can be updated by changing out the image/link or embedded video that is in that document.https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/project14/pynqworkshop/w/setup/26935/featured-video-setup-docWed, 10 Nov 2021 04:40:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:e0d74764-395c-4126-9cb2-40784dc4c8fdChristyZfeaturedVideohttps://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/project14/pynqworkshop/w/setup/26936/featured-content-triptych-setup-docWed, 10 Nov 2021 04:40:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:316be67c-8957-431c-a1ff-ab7a6e589c57ChristyZFeature 1 Sub Title 1 Description for Feature 1 - enter whatever text you wish to use as the description here Button Text 1 Feature 2 Sub Title 2 Description for Feature 2 - enter whatever text you wish to use as the description here Button Text 2 Feature 3 Sub Title 3 Description for Feature 3 - enter whatever text you wish to use as the description here Button 3 Texthttps://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/project14/pynqworkshop/w/setupWed, 10 Nov 2021 04:40:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:e56b5c94-3461-48ca-98e7-7f9b641366b1https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/project14/pynqworkshop/m/managed-videosWed, 27 Oct 2021 15:43:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:27d0d99a-45e3-43f5-9fca-d97050b434f2https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/project14/pynqworkshop/f/forumFri, 01 Oct 2021 18:14:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:83053761-4610-40f6-8967-3836b26d6e7chttps://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/project14/pynqworkshop/b/blogFri, 01 Oct 2021 18:14:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:93e34803-cf52-4e29-b78d-471c3478cbf8https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/project14/pynqworkshop/c/220Fri, 01 Oct 2021 18:14:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:08425a68-9613-421c-bc84-97fbd385550fmigration.userhttps://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/project14/pynqworkshop/m/filesFri, 01 Oct 2021 18:14:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:a427c0be-3090-403f-9789-82b7fc41270dhttps://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/project14/pynqworkshop/w/pollsFri, 01 Oct 2021 18:14:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:e6578055-8cf7-4797-bce4-bad053750bcdmigration.userhttps://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/project14/pynqworkshop/w/documentsFri, 01 Oct 2021 18:14:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:4ddda017-d767-4a0e-bff5-a23bb054097emigration.user
