Xilinx Zynq - XC7Z010 - FPGA

• EBAZ4205 board

There is a massive learning curve involved with FPGA devices. At this point, I am restricting myself only to Xilinx devices and specifically the Zynq XC7Z010. Even that involves a person in a quagmire of software. Part of the trouble is that Xilinx continually changes and rearranges their software. At one point you would use Vivado in conjunction with their SDK. These days you are expected to use "Vitis" which unifies their various tools (and seems to restrict or at least encourage you to use C++, which I do not like). Before Vivado, there was Xilinx ISE. Alongside of the SDK, there is Petalinux.

I am totally new to FPGA. This could be good or bad for those trying to follow my footsteps.
