In Search of RoadTesters to Take On The All Programmable SoC (AVNET MiniZed RoadTest)

rscasny
rscasny over 7 years ago

I'm in search of a few more roadtesters who would like to experiment with the Avnet MiniZed board.

 

What do you need?

 

1. Got to be Clever.

2. Inventiveness Helps

3. A Thirst for Learning

4. A love for Electronics

5. A Wish to Say "Hello World"

6. Beauty is not a requirement

7. A knack for tinkering is preferred

8. The ability to enter into the world of FPGA SoCs are pure magic.

9. A Messy Benchtop

10. A devotion to new technology. That's music to our ears.

(Here's something you should know about the MiniZed: "The board aims to showcase the power of Zynq, where the Cortex A9 processor core integrates seamlessly with the programmable fabric to provide signal

processing and control solutions."

    Andy, Thanks for pointing this out: "the suppliers do address this by providing FAE support, training, etc - but I guess that's not going to be included in the RoadTest ... ?" I haven't talk about this…

    It's very tempting as I would love to get more in with FPGAs but, with the steep learning curve, lack of instructional help (FAEs are notoriously unhelpful, they just don't have the time to step you through their product) and the potential lack of time... I don't think I would be able to do any form of justice other than say why I couldn't get this to do anything in 2 months.

    Probably the best resource available is the Zynq Book. The examples will probably need adjusting (since they are for the ZedBoard and the Zybo), but its probably the most comprehensive documentation.

    There is also the New Horizons Blog, and the MicroZed chronicles (with more than 200 parts so far...).

    Hmm, looking at all this documentation makes me think whether I should apply for this as well...
