Seeking 2 People to RoadTest an FPGA Board

Very cool board, but I just no longer have the skills to exploit it.

That is top line SoC by Xilinx FPGA. Very cool stuff used for Smart Edge Application with Vitis AI.

Thanks for sharing the opportunity rscasny .  I would definitely be interested to road test the AUBoard 15P FPGA Development Kit as I have the time and skill to do a thorough review. As a FPGA design engineer, I have a lot of experience working with FPGA's across devices from Spartan to modern SoC (Zynq, Zynq MPSoC, K26). I have also experience working with PCIe based high speed networking cards (designing and benchmarking), video and image processing. I am confident I can put the SFP+ to good use in terms of building a 10G ethernet subsystem and extending it to be used as a switch or a network interface card that can modify the header or payload information. I can also test the video subsystem part of the design by write some IP to display some custom patterns on the HDMI or take in a USB camera feed, do some image processing and display it on to HDMI. Based on the time provided for the road test I am happy to go into greater depth. 

Being an active member of the element14 FPGA community, I have participated across multiple FPGA design challenges and road tests. This will be a great opportunity to explore a PCIe based FPGA, share the knowledge with the community and feedback to Tria. I very much look forward to being a road tester if given the opportunity.       

Nice board, though a bit too capable for anything I'd want to do now, and I don't have enough experience of boards like this to do any sort of sensible comparison.

"We are looking for someone who is familiar with AMD products and design tools."

Well, that also rules me out very quickly. Haven't touched Xilinx design software since the days of Spartan 3.

And, I'm currently grappling with installing Libero on a Linux PC having just bought a Microchip dev board to play with, which will keep me occupied for a while.

This looks like a very good, capable board, and a nice price point for a board that should be supported by the free version of Vivado!

While I can't help out at this time, I'll keep this board in mind for a future project!

Have been trying to develop FPGA skills slowly and steadily. However may not have the best expertise yet to handle all the capabilities and glory of this amazing board. Would have very much loved to give it a go if the time window was long enough. Might be a perfect match to upscale some of my projects.

I am very interested in FPGA and Verilog (You can see this project that I posted here: (Mini Project for learning HDL/Verilog: Making a part of a very small processor
 - do go through it)
I have several such projects and tests in mind that can be used to test the capabilities of AUBoard)

On a personal level, I am preparing my profile for Digital and FPGA roles and I am already practising Verilog regularly, hence this will be a great supplementary project for me, and will not require much extra effort from my side, as I already have the skills.

A while ago I'd have jumped at this as I was trying to gain more experience with FPGAs (Xlinix/AMD in particular) and did a few road tests on smaller stuff. However despite doing lots of video stuff at work, FPGAs never quite seemed to fit into the skillset I needed. The HDMI 2.1 looks great and I'll check to see if there's anything useful I could do to road test this, but anything I came up with would probably involve SMPTE 2100 and it seems that needs 3rd party IP. I may well leave this to someone who can really put it through its paces.

Interested^Infinity  I have been watching this board since it came out, and it is perfect for one of my passion projects to merge a HDMI video with processing from PC (through PCIe) and output back onto HDMI.

I would LOVE the chance to run this board, I would probably never remove it from my PC ever again.
