Xilinx Vivado and Vitis Workshop with the Avnet Ultra96-V2

image

Summer of FPGAs

Kit for Workshop | Main Agenda | Essentials | Quiz | RoadTests | Tech Spotlights | Workshop Dates | FPGA Group

 

Beginner’s workshop using Xilinx tools to build a hardware platform, develop bare metal applications, and execute on Ultra96-V2 hardware

 

This workshop will get you up and running quickly with Xilinx’ free version of Vivado and Vitis tools. The Avnet Ultra96-V2 Single Board Computer will be the hardware target for several designs that are created during this workshop series. Through the course of the workshop, you’ll create a hardware platform in Vivado, then export your hardware to the Vitis SDK for software development. We’ll explore built-in drivers and example code and how to implement them in your project. We’ll also make use of the 96Boards Expansion connectors to add Click Boards to the hardware.

 

What You'll Need to Participate:

 

This workshop combines 4 build-along workshops with a lab between each session.  Completing each lab will give you a chance to apply what you learned during the workshop, while preparing for the next session.This workshop is free and open to all but to participate you will need to own or purchase the following products:
