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…

    This looks like a really awesome board.  There's a lot of value  in the FPGA alone.  The 50,000 LEs and 2700 kBits of embedded memory are impressive enough. When you combine that with the 256MB of DDR3 it makes for a pretty powerful platform that opens a lot of possibilities.

     

    I would love to be among the select few that are fortunate enough to receive an Arty-S7 board.  The Arty-S7 board would help me reach a number of goals.  First and foremost it would help me get back in the game.  I did a fair amount of FPGA design work prior to 2010, but unfortunately, I missed out on much of the developments in the industry during the last 10 years.  The Arty-S7 would help me get back up to speed.  Also, most of my prior work was with a specific vendor.  It is one of my goals to branch out of my comfort zone and become familiar with the devices and tool chains offered by other vendors.

     

    I am very interested in learning more about Vivado and working at a more system level approach to create more complex designs.

     

    I am excited to attend the upcoming lectures because they will help me become better-acquainted with Vivado and serve as a good introduction to Micro Blaze.

     

    Finally, and to put things simply, the Arty-S7 looks like a fun little board and I would love to have one.

     

    Thank you for your consideration.

    I would love to attend this workshop by element14. FPGA and in particular Arty-s7 are very popular boards in the market nowadays.

     

    I am good experienced in embedded systems in general but a beginner in FPGA design. I would love to make some sensor fusion project if I get a chance to get this board.!!

     

    This board is also used by people from India's swadeshi mission under which they have designed made in India microprocessors called SHAKTI. The processors are not available with boards but this board's FPGA can be emulated with those processors. I want to soon or latter try to emulate the design of processor and make some projects on those processor architectures!!

    I have minimum theoretical FPGA knowledge, I want to improve it and also have practical experience with FPGAs. Currently, I work as a hardware engineer and I want to start with FPGA designs, that will help me to get a better job.
