In the past year or so, the element14 community has been offering quite a few programs, contests, and initatives around Xilinx's FPGA and heterogeneous SoC, ZYNQ. We have hosted webinars, run roadtests, and offered a training program last year called Path to Programmable.
I see element14 member interest in Xilinx product knowledge on the rise. I plan on offering more Xilinx-related projects and roadtests in the coming months. (Stay tuned to Path to Programmable 2 with the Ultra96v2) Given all this activity, I thought it would be a great idea to bring in a Xilinx product expert for some well needed Q&A time. So let me introduce you to Adam Taylor ( adamtaylorcengfiet ).
I believe Adam has been an element14 member for several years. He is the Director of ADIUVO Engineering. He is a Chartered Engineer and Fellow of the Institute of Engineering and Technology. He is well known for his Microzed Chronicles. He writes the Exploring the Programmable World for element14. Adam has been instrumental in developing element14's FPGA/Programmable SoC Essentials.
Adam also is an expert in the PYNQ framework: Python for ZYNQ productivity. So, if you are asoftware developer who wants to explore the Programmable world, I'd encourage you to ask Adam your top questions.
So, if you have any questions revolving around FPGAs, programmable SoCs, a project in progress, perhaps even a question about Vivado, please click REPLY and asked them here.
Sincerely,
Randall Scasny
