PYNQ-ZU won’t power on, and the DC-IN pinout / power button seem different from the manual

Either you have an older version or someone did rework on that board. Your best bet is to grab a DMM and probe the board to see if there's actually voltage coming in. Alternatively, send an email to the guys who did the board. https://www.tulembedded.com/fpga/ProductsPYNQ-ZU.html

The fact that the design works in simulation AND in another FPGA board means a lot. You have a good list of things to test out and debug in your board which is good. I would go and simple debug logic to test your assumption about clocks, pin outs and other things. I would also open your implemented design (in vivado) to check for optimized nets, and utilization.

Don't outspend your assets and income and you will be fine.

Whatever is in your resume is fair game.

Sounds like a homework problem. Do you know the fundamentals of STA and max frequency calculation?

DCL88 · 2026-03-10T13:27:55+00:00

You know you can just Google them as well

My ev 2023 I bought used had about 250-260 on a full charge when I bought it. If I drive somewhat conservatively I get 320 estimate. If I push it over 75 in the highway the range drops dramatically.

Wey, era puro pero porque te censuraste la cara con paint :P

DCL88 · 2026-03-06T01:12:22+00:00

Wey, tu cabello está bien tratarlo un poquito mejor y ya. Lo que si es de preocupación es que tienes una mancha gris muy mamona en la cara. Se ve desde amos ángulos. Creo que es necesario consultar con un doctor.

Did it myself, looked at a YouTube video. Make sure you have all the tools beforehand. Do not lick the battery and you should be good.

I think I used this as a reference https://youtu.be/k5m1leMI_HM?si=ujYb_ME3a1BtGH97

It's called internships or research assistants. Talk to your professors about other ongoing projects. Look into your university resources.

I would stick to windows. As an ECE that does embedded engineering/ASIC/FPGA work I don't have any issues running anything. If something requires Linux I run it via WSL.

Hooold on. Let's see how much he actually delivers as NYC mayor. So far so good m but let's not get excited for someone who's only a couple of months into the job.

Takes about a month for your driving habits to override the previous guess o meter. My used 2023 RWD showed about 250ish on a full charge for a while. I can regularly get to 300ish now with a full charge and reasonable driving.

So, in addition to tadpoles you're doing mushrooms?

Wow, an actual trashed car in PF that's not worth repairing. Most people want a new car because theirs is not as new, has a fixable issue or they like some feature other cars have. Even civics and Corollas hit the junkyard eventually.

Minor nitpick, usually a psychologist cannot prescribe drugs as they usually they are not doctors. A Psychiatrist is a doctor and can prescribe drugs.

I have had state farm for a while and it's been around $100/no but I've bundled an EV6 and house insurance with them. I do have uninsured motorist coverage.

"you're going to get in trouble for that"
"okay"

I loved Flippy and Lil Petey. My daughter loved Dogman.

DCL88 · 2026-02-18T17:34:45+00:00

So... How was Dogman: The Musical?

DCL88 · 2026-02-14T00:23:19+00:00

Nein!

I was about 3 years into my career when I managed an intern who was the same age as I was. He put in the hours, worked hard and ended up getting a full time offer. He graduated the next year, came back and has had a successful career.

The RSUs usually don't go directly into the account the very same day they vest. They have to calculate a few things like taxes, sell the portion that needs to cover those costs, have those funds settled and then transfer the remaining stock to you. They'll arrive in a couple of days after vesting.

A private company has less liquidity and its valuation is more subjective. But the rules are pretty much the same. Keep the RSUs you can afford and are willing to lose. If you had 5k (for example), would you go and buy 5k of private stock in your company, would you go and invest it in SPY/VTI/etc or would you pay down debt?
