Winners Announced: We're Giving Away Up to 10 Arty-S7 Boards to Use in an Upcoming Xilinx Workshop!

We're Giving Away Up to 10 Boards for Our Upcoming Arty-S7 Workshop!

 

In the Comments Below: Let Us Know Why You Are Interested in the Upcoming Arty 7 Workshop for a Chance to Win!

 

If you're a maker or an engineer who's interested in getting into FPGA, we're making it easier than ever to get started.  We're following up the Getting Started with Xilinx Development Tools webinar and the 3 part Xilinx Workshop: Getting to Know Vivado Series with Adam Taylor with a workshop that let's you use a board compatible with Vivado for your next project.The Arty S7 board features the new Xilinx Spartan-7 FPGA and is the latest member of the Arty FPGA development board family from Digilent. The Arty S7 board features new Xilinx Spartan-7 FPGA and is the latest member of the Arty family for Makers and Hobbyists.  This little dev board is something that we think you will be interested, especially if you've attended our previous Xillinx workshops. It hits a sweet spot of having a relatively low cost ($99 USD) and enough power and connectivity be very useful.

 

There's been a lot of interest in the Vivado Workshop series and Xilinx webinars in general.  We're interested in why you're interested in attending the upcoming workshop and how you plan on using the board.  Reply in the comments below to register your interest so we can arrange to have an Arty 7 board sent to you in time to follow along with our workshop!  You can also purchase an Arty-S7 board as well as the other PMOD Board here:

The Spartan-7 FPGA offers the most size, performance, and cost-conscious design engineered with the latest technologies from Xilinx and is fully compatible with Vivado Design Suite versions 2017.3 and newer. Putting this FPGA in the Arty form factor provides users with a wide variety of I/O and expansion options. Use the dual row ArduinoRegistered connectors to mount one of the hundreds of hardware compatible shields available, or use the Pmod ports with Digilent's pre-made Pmod IP blocks for a more streamlined design experience. Arty S7 was designed to be MicroBlaze ready and comes out of the box ready to use with the free Xilinx WebPack licensing with the Vivado Design Suite.

 

Here's a good primer that shows you all the cool things you can do with Arty-S7 board:

    It's not so much a hobbyist thing - most are happy with ready made boards. I have had many clients who could not stand the add on cost of using BGA packages in the early stages of a project. And also quite…

    It's nice that Xilinx are promoting the Spartan7 and design tools, and nice that E14/Farnell are involved - but they are missing a very important trick. The Spartan 7 processors are reasonably cheap in…

    It's the end of the day for me today and the webinar happens in 7 hours but no call from a courier image

     

    I'll try and see if I can catch up during the webinar even without the board.

     

    I wonder if I can get a tracking number so I can follow up on the courier themselves? I'm not sure if the package is just delayed or if it's just stuck somewhere in customs.

     

    tariq.ahmad maybe you'll be able to help reach out? image

    Tariq,

     

    FedEx delivered the boards this morning (Monday 10/12).  The shipping box was a little crushed, but the boards looked great.  I'm looking forward to getting started.

    Pretty much end of the day for deliveries on my side and still no package.
    Would it be possible for the event sponsor to send us the tracking numbers?

    Thanks

    Tariq,

     

    The boards did not arrive over the weekend, but there is still hope for next week.  It depends on who the carrier is.  The US Post Office (USPS) has a federal holiday on Monday so there is no delivery. 

     

    Stay Well,

    Hi gordonmx ,

     

    These were sent out by the event sponsor.   If they do not come in over the weekend I will reach out to them once again on Monday.

    I got selected for the Arty S7, and so far I never had to pay taxes when receiving stuff from E14. But this time I'm being charged with the "duties & taxes". I suspect the other winners will have to pay taxes as well...
