Hi!

<Sorry if you receive this message twice, but some people were
 subscribed before it had been completely written!>

Thank you for signing up for the "Create Hardware with FPGAs, Linux
and Python" FPGA Project Miniconf
(https://linux.conf.au/programme/miniconfs/fpga/).

You have being added to this mailing list as there will be important
announcements sent out regarding prework that is required to be done
before the miniconf starts.

The FPGA Miniconf is on Tuesday, 23 January 2018 and is all day, you
**won't** be able to attend other events on that day. The prework will
be sent out around the 1st Jan (hopefully early, but should be no
later). The tutorial organisers will be available on Monday, 22
January 2018 to help with people stuck on the pre-work.

We will be using Xilinx Vivado as part of the Miniconf. Vivado is free
as in beer but not free as in freedom. It is the only non-FOSS tool
used.

As Vivado is 16GB and may take many **hours** to download. Please get
a head start by downloading and installing the Xilinx Vivado
toolchain. Follow the instructions here;
https://github.com/timvideos/HDMI2USB/wiki/Xilinx-Vivado

As a reminder,
>
> Everyone attending the tutorial must have completed the prework
> before the tutorial. The prework will be checked at the start of the
> tutorial and anyone who hasn't done the pre-work will be asked to
> leave, even if they have a valid ticket (no refund will be given).

Looking forward to an exciting Linux.conf.au 2018!

Hi All,

Sorry if this is old news - I just joined the list - but Vivado is now at
2017.4.

Download instructions have worked so far (still downloading),

Cheers ... Duncan.

Hi Duncan - I thought the pre-requisites on the MiniConf website specified Vivado 2017.3?

Does anyone know if the pre-work tutorial has been sent out yet?

Cheers,
Matt

My preferred version is 2017.2 -- but all of 2017.1, 2017.3 and 2017.4
should work fine.

Don't bother changing if you already have one installed.
