I had mentioned in a post back last July "Summer of tinyML" that Hackster.io was running a year-long event with Xilinx - the Big Xcellent Adventure. You basically do activities related to Xilinx FPGAs to earn points that you use in "wishing rounds" for a chance to win prizes. I've noticed that a number of E14 members have been participating and have won prizes. I had no luck in the first 3 rounds, but I won a prize in the 4th round in December and it just showed up on my doorstep. I wasn't notified when it shipped, so I was glad that I happened to be home when it was delivered.
It's a great prize - an Avnet Ultra96-V2. Thank you Avnet and Hackster - a nice New Year's present.
