In this entry level webinar, Monica Houston and Tom Curran will address the different approaches to programming FPGAs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0;"&gt;In addition to covering the basics of getting the board setup by running the tcl build scripts from Avnet’s GitHub, this webinar will also demonstrate setting up a simple program in Vitis that controls GPIOs on the Ultra96.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What you will learn by attending:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;How use Avnet’s build scripts to set up the programmable logic on Ultra96&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;FPGA vocabulary and the meanings of commonly used acronyms&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;How to create a helloworld program for the Ultra96 using Vitis&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;How to control GPIO on the Ultra96&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;How programming an FPGA is similar to and differs from programming a CPU&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0;"&gt;The following hardware will be featured during this presentation:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span

solid #ffffff;width:50%;padding:6px;"&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0;"&gt;At Avnet, I work on enabling machine learning on NXP boards, particularly MaaXBoard. Previously, I was employee #2 at Hackster.io. An avid maker and tinkerer, I also founded the Seattle Arduino Meetup. I have dabbled in a wide range of technologies, from web development to 3D printing, but I’m most captivated by artificial intelligence, in particular AI at the edge. I’m currently working on a master’s degree in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="border:1px solid black;border:1px solid #ffffff;width:50%;padding:6px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;"&gt;I got sucked into the world of FPGAs and programmable logic early in my career working for a company that developed embedded controls for bottle labeling machines, and I’ve never looked back.  I now work in Avnet's Products &amp; Emerging Technologies group, mostly working on Linux and software applications for our Zed and UltraZed family of Zynq and Zynq MPSoC SOMs and SBCs like the Ultra96-V2.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 12</generator><item><title>re: Summer of FPGA: Software and FPGA: How to Get the Bits to Flip? by albertabeef</title><link>https://community.element14.com/learn/events/c/e/1498</link><pubDate>Wed, 01 Sep 2021 17:06:36 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:57d3ef9d-8572-4dcf-8981-d939fa827f31</guid><dc:creator>albertabeef</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Great overview Tom and Monica !&lt;br /&gt;I loved the fixed ASIC versus programmable MPSoC analogy &lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="https://community.element14.com/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/07eef79e70814fd2b5486cddd02e66b1-f31e7157-23a3-4e45-b357-4865135f6c13/contentimage_5F00_1.png"&gt;&lt;img alt="image" src="https://community-storage.element14.com/communityserver-components-secureimagefileviewer/commentfiles/07eef79e70814fd2b5486cddd02e66b1/f31e7157/23a3/4e45/b357/4865135f6c13/contentimage_1.png-16x16.png?sv=2016-05-31&amp;sr=b&amp;sig=kdroM558rD0ixXW1vGUez4VlVeg1Dy8OGPQ9Tpi6inc%3D&amp;se=2026-04-16T23%3A59%3A59Z&amp;sp=r&amp;_=zGEM7pHL10Vt71gae75OdA==" style="max-height: 16px;max-width: 16px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
