First of all, nice work :)

From a total beginner perspective, the wiki could perhaps be a bit more clear on some things. Such as the following;

When you get to this step:

Select your target FPGA family: Artix-7

  2. Build the counter test: https://f4pga-examples.readthedocs.io/en/latest/xc7/counter_test.html

I assumed here that when you get to this step you have to build the counter_test which threw me tot a failure loop. It is only later that I figured out both are different instructions and the first one just means to go ahead with Artix-7.

Another one is after the conda env creation. Before building the counter_test, activating the env and entering the xc7 directory is needed as I understand it , so adding a set of commands to do this will help. Once the cd command is added, it'll also need a cd .. before the scp step or dropping xc/ from the path in thescp command.

Thanks for this, I look forward to being able to do more than just blinking lights :P

I updated the page, trying to address all the things. Can you look it over and it it looks better, find someone new to do it. I'll close this issue once I hear a new person didn't have any trouble.
