This is an old revision of the document!
Your job for this lab is to select how you intend on working with Vivado during the semester and then do the installation for that method.
You may be uncertain which option you should choose. If so, please raise your hand and talk with the instructor or a TA to get your questions answered.
The various options all take different amounts of time. Options #1 and #2 likely will take 3-4 hours - most of which will be you waiting for your computer to download files. Option #3 likely will take about an hour. So, if you have not yet started you will not finish during the lab time and will need to complete this lab on your own in the coming few days.
The disussion on the options to choose is shown here. This link can also be found in the lower left of the 220 wiki page and is called “Sp2020 Vivado Procedures”.
The labs are broken up into Exercises. For each exercise there will be questions in red. You are to record your answers to those in a lab notebook you keep of some kind. Then, when you are done, you go in to Learning Suite where you will find assignments with names like “Lab 1 Online Report”. You go into that assignment and there will be places for you to enter the information you were asked to collect/compute/tabulate in red here. In addition, for some you will be asked to pass something off with a TA. This pass off will be done using Zoom.
Follow the instructions above for the method you have chosen.
Once you have complete the installation, you need to start up the Vivado program and take a screen shot of its startup screen.
Attach a screen shot of the Vivado startup screen to LearningSuite.
