Hi, got your repository link though the comment you posted on the course 'Function Acceleration on FPGA with Vitis-Part 1: Fundamental'. Just wanted to know that is zedboard fine for implementing the projects given in that course? any typical problems you faced while implementing those on that board? I am planning to implementing acceleration of sparse matrix-vector multiplication on that. If it is ok, then can you give me your contact for any other general query regarding this..

If you are using the same version of Vitis, yes, you can use this for the lecture.

For more related queries, I am afraid that I have to say that I have leaved this field for some time and I am not the proper one to ask. You can use the discussion board of the lecture though.

Hi, can you help me booting the zedboard from sdcard, i downloaded your vitis platform files zedboard_base(Vitis 2021.2), the software and hardware emulation is done successfully on the Vitis unified software(for the vector-addition project). I formatted the sd card in FAT32 format(single partition only) and copied the files which we get after the hardware emulation as he told in the zyboz7-20 board video and also the files which were present in the 'boot' folder in the platform files directory which ii downloaded from your repository (/zedboard_base/sw/zedboard_base/boot). I copied files from both the locations because i am confused about the files that need to be copied as the instructor is copying different files according to the boards and also sometimes making 2 or 1 partitions. After doing this also i am not getting any sort of connection on the GTKTerm software, i am connecting the board to my PC through the UART(USB) port on the board. If you remember implementing this on the zedboard can you please tell your procedure if possible? Also when i connect my board to the PC it does't show anything, just leds on the board goes on? is it ok or any drivers are needed for serial communication?
