I am passing on a Newark link to a version of the board used in the webinar that Tariq gave me for those interested: https://www.newark.com/tul-corporation/1m1-m000127dev/tul-pynq-z2/dp/13AJ3027?st=tul-corporation

This is a good opportunity to hear from two of our most prominent members of e14 on their personal experiences with an FPGA.

A preview of what we'll use in this first session:

the Johnson Counter from this blog.
Vivado for the FPGA design
GPIO interface (the simplest way) between ARM and FPGA parts
VHDL for 2 custom blocks
Pynq libraries and jupyter notebooks to load and interact with the design

Exciting! Will you show how to use axi memory mapped interface especially in image processing applications? MM slave could be an HLS accelerator and MM master is ARM.

Pinq-Z2 is out of stock until beginning of 2022. Pinq-Z1 is also out of stock. Other FPGA boards to be used in AI/ML applications (ex. Kria V260) are also out of stock. What can we use as replacement in order to practice what are presented in these FPGA tutorials?

I would like to share my feedback with you. For beginning to learn pynq, i checked out official website and community documents and tutorials. I was expecting this workshop content is build on top of the already available knowledge. But apart from that, It is good video tutorial, that feels too much effort behind it. "Pair representation" is also something i liked, speakers complete each other without missing an important point.
