FPGA - Xilinx Vitis and Zedboard tutorials
I do have what I consider a "mainstream" product, namely a Zedboard. It is popular at any rate.
Perhaps someone has published a "Vitis Zedboard tutorial".
The result of the first search I did in this way is somewhat comical:
Here a fellow asks a straightforward question and gets a runaround from the Avnet folks.
Apparently Element 14 is an Avnet forum, and even though Avnet partnered with Digilent in
creating (and selling) the Zeboard they now want to declare support for it as "end of life".
"It is a ten year old board" they say, go talk to Digilent. First they give lazy vague
answers telling a guy to go search for a blog they wrote, then give what is now a broken link.
Pretty shabby by any standard.
I have to give several gold stars to Digilent. They make great products, publish excellent tutorials,
and are decent humans when it comes to support. Quite a contrast to the miserable, lazy, and short
sighted efforts from Avnet/Element14.
Feedback? Questions?
Drop me a line!
