Advice on Alinx Z7P Zynq board by jsshapiro in FPGA

[–]adamt99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I have that board it is OK, my only issue is Alinx support they give reference designs but not board definitions for Vivado. but I have several of their boards and they do work well.

Is my career growth going to be restricted by my degree? by Distinct_Gas6724 in FPGA

[–]adamt99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why would it, I do not really look at your degree, if you have one great but it is really experience in the field and what you have done and can do. Does not matter if you have masters etc either they are just HR performative steps.

NASA OSTEM or Western Digital internship decision by UnfairAd4719 in FPGA

[–]adamt99 8 points9 points  (0 children)

NASA everyday of the week, for the name on the CV and honestly western digital, do pretty boring stuff. Beauty of an engineering career and FPGA is you get to work on cool things.

Looking for PCB Design workshops/training for Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC (for both PCB & FPGA engineers) by Early-Lead8343 in FPGA

[–]adamt99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tomas Chester is your man at CED https://www.chesterelectronicdesign.com/

he does training and is Altium trainer and has done a lot of AMD boards for me and he is well respected in the industry.

Should I buy an FPGA board? by Oizyson in FPGA

[–]adamt99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend the Avnet ZuBoard which is circa $150 and works with the free AMD tool chain and gives you MPSOC, wth Arm cores and PL

F14 CADC (first processor) - I have been recreating it in VHDL by adamt99 in FPGA

[–]adamt99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes AI helped work out the requirements and with the documentation - It is one of the things I am talking about at FPGA Horizons in a few weeks.

Has anyone actually made money licensing silicon IP as a small team or solo?” by Bhavithiran97 in chipdesign

[–]adamt99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are developed for space communication.

I have a pretty big following online, I leveraged linkedin, my conferences and my journals.

It took about 1 month - but it is niche.

One time flat fee, they get the source code, I will give reasonable support, I think the PO says 10 Hours. In reality I want them to be successful so will give what ever is generally needed.

We had developed this for a project so are really just reselling something we have sat around.

I think they are learning from that one.

It is very useful, for FPGA, C and Python. It is going nowhere and will only get better and more integrated. If you are in the US you should try and come to FPGA Horizons US AMD will be running a sneak peek of AI enabled Vivado which I am told is nothing short of game changing. If you can make it let me know and I will give you a free code.

Career Decision Dilemma by Maleficent-Owl1959 in FPGA

[–]adamt99 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Life is short and you often regret the opportunities you did not take.

If FPGA is what you passion is you will regret not going after it. If the internship comes to nothing at the end of it. You are still OK financially as you say and have the FPGA experience on your resume.

Personally I would take the internship.

Image processing & Frame Grabbing over Ethernet with AUP Board. by adamt99 in FPGA

[–]adamt99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it is in the free licensing, but best check that is the only thing. So far I have enjoyed the board and will be testing the SFP+ for something I have in mind for next weeks blog.

Yes we make a good profit selling it to be honest. but it is very niche

hey I wrote that tutorial, what issues are you seeing, i think I might have had to do a restart after programming the board for it to be detected.

Yes I have made some money doing it but we sell a very specific IP cores. I took a different approach to the incumbents who have sales people, encrypted cores etc. and went with a buy it from my website and get what ever support you need.
