Hello community members! I have spent a few hours exploring the MSOX3034TMSOX3034T, just enough time to get acquainted with its general behavior. I set it up next to an oscilloscope I know very well; the Tektronix MDO4104-3. The photo belo...
This is the fifth instalment in a series of blog posts to support a RoadTest Review of the ACCESS:bit for micro:bit. The review is being conducted by a student from a high school computer club. Details on how the RoadTest is being conducted can be fo...
This will be the last hardware design performance test that I'll be running for the roadtest. This is the SATA performance test: UltraZed-EV-RD-SATA_PerformanceThe link provides a pre-built PetaLinux image with an included test script drive-test...
Hello Everybody! This is my first blog post part of my RoadTest of the Keysight InfiniiVision MSOX3034TMSOX3034T Mixed Signal Oscilloscope (MSO). First of all, thank you Keysight and Element 14 for providing me this great instrument! I'm p...
I'll need to do this road test in parts, because it may get complicated.The first task is installation. This will require removal of the existing breaker and replace it with the Power Defense breaker.The PDG23F0060P2MJ is a frame size large...
I am continuing to run through existing performance tests in parallel with starting to integrate the elements of my project. This is the network performance test: UltraZed-EV-RD_Ethernet_Performance_TestThe performance tests use iperf3: https://...
I had mentioned in a prior post that I was having a bit more trouble using GStreamer than I had anticipated. I had some problems using the udpsink and udpsrc elements that were used for the RTPStreaming demo. It turns out that was actuall...

I've been posting about the UltraZed-EV roadtest and realized that I should have provided an overview first to put my posts in context. I've wanted to design a home security/video surveillance system for a while. I have a mix of di...
In my previous post Avnet UltraZed-EV Starter Kit Road Test - Port PYNQv2.5 , I had ported PYNQv2.5 to the UltraZed-EV using the PetaLinux BSP (uz7ev_evcc_2019_1.bsp) which is for the OOB design. This verifies the porting process works but now ...
Mario Bergeron recently did a tutorial project on Hackster.io vitis-ai-1-1-flow-for-avnet-vitis-platforms that "provides detailed instructions for targeting the DNNDK samples from the Xilinx Vitis-AI 1.1 flow for Avnet Vitis 2019.2 platforms."&...
3.5 Capacitor Characterization An ideal capacitor can be specified by a single value: its capacitance. Here I will show how I measured 2 capacitor non-idealities: the dielectric absorption and the dielectric leakage. Dielectric absorption ...
This is a blog post in support of a RoadTest Review for ACCESS:bit for micro:bit . I established a format of a documenting my RoadTest process through a series of blog post. The RoadTest Review itself, is a summary of findings that refers back ...
I've been using PYNQ on the PYNQ-Z2 and Ultra96v2 boards and I thought that it could prove useful for evaluating and prototyping with the UZ7EV. Unfortunately there isn't a prebuilt PYNQ image for this board yet. The good news is that Pet...
July 4, 2020I had hoped to finish the VCU TRD design tests this week and move on to taking a closer look at the design and using the design tools to tweak it to verify that I have a good tool setup.Unfortunately, even the simplest things sometimes tu...

Getting started with the STM32H7B3I-DKPosted to support the STM32H7B3I-DK - DISCOVERY KIT roadtest. The following items are recommended by ST to explore and test the various features of the STM32H7B3I-DK:Java 8.241STM32CubeIDE 1.3.0STM32Cu...
A few days ago I received the Genesys ZU board to work with it and submit a RoadTest. This opportunity came right on time for me, as I have been particularly interested in Hardware Acceleration (Hardware Design for Multi-Modal Data Acquisition and Pr...
3.3 DC-DC converter efficiency measurement The use of DC-DC converters has become almost universal in modern electronics. One important factor that needs to be evaluated, especially when the power comes from a battery, is the conversion efficien...
3.2 Battery Characterization Battery selection for a specific application can depend on multiple factors: price, size, weight, safety and its electrical properties. Manufacturers are known for making dubious claims about their batteries lifetime...
