Summary

Upon completion of the project, I learned a lot and summarized the following points.

Made a basic line follower robot with the Arty S7
Installed Vivado 2019.2 on a windows 10 machine and ran a Demo program on Arty S7.
Created a Vivado Project file, and learned how to configure constraint files and source files.
Learned about the IP configurator, Block diagram and even tried working with the MicroBlaze.
and above all, was able to address the hardware issue and fixed the board.

I had comprehended a lot working with the Arty S7-50 but due to hardware issues, I didn't have the bandwidth to implement them. Thanks to element14, and the sponsors for providing me with an opportunity to work with this amazing hardware. There is still a lot to learn from them. Thanks for your time.
