• 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.
