• Installing Vivado, Vitis, and Digilent Board Files
  • Walks through installing Vivado and Vitis, the development environments used to create hardware and software applications targeting Digilent FPGA development boards.
• Getting Started with Vivado and Vitis for Baremetal Software Projects
  • Walks through using Vivado and Vitis to create a design in hardware and software that uses a processor to control buttons and LEDs.
• Getting Started with Vivado for Hardware-Only Designs
  • Walks through using Vivado to create a simple design that blinks a single LED.
• Getting Started with Digilent Pmod IPs
  • Digilent Pmod IPs can be used to control connected Pmods from baremetal software.
  • It should be noted that not all Pmods are supported and that Pmod IPs are only supported in versions of Vivado 2019.1 and older.
• Running a RISC-V Processor on the Arty A7 (Legacy)

• https://forum.digilent.com/topic/27389-arty-a7-microblaze-ddr3-tutorial/
  • The user Viktor Nikolov posted a tutorial on the Digilent Forum showing an alternate architecture for clocking the DDR interface for Digilent boards when using MicroBlaze. It works around several errors that may occur in other guides linked here.

• The Hex Five X300 RISC-V SoC (found in Hex Five's multizone-fpga GitHub repository) is a soft-core RISC-V processor compatible with both the Arty A7-100T and Arty A7-35T.
• Hackster Project: Arm DesignStart FPGA Cortex-M1 Environmental Monitor
  • Created by Adam Taylor.
  • Contains instructions for using the ARM Cortex-M1 with the Arty S7.
  • Note: While this project was created for the Arty S7, ARM's DesignStart FPGA materials also contain base projects for working with the Arty A7.
  • Note: Working with DesignStart FPGA requires a license. A free 90-day trial license can be obtained, as described in the guide.
