Extending the Python Ecosystem to Xilinx

Explore the integration of Python with Xilinx programmable System-on-Chips in this PyCon US sponsor workshop. Discover PYNQ, a platform combining the benefits of Raspberry Pi microprocessors, Arduino microcontrollers, and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) into a single development environment. Learn how PYNQ leverages Python's extensive ecosystem to program hardware efficiently, offering a browser-based integrated development environment for both novice and experienced developers. Delve into topics such as platform evolution, FPGA applications, Zynq architecture, and the advantages of using Python for embedded and edge systems. Gain insights into Jupyter Notebooks, JupyterLab IDE, and how PYNQ wraps FPGA circuits and drivers into Python packages. Understand the process of installing software and hardware using PIP, enabled by new hybrid packages, and see practical demonstrations like image resizing. Explore the PYNQ community and learn how to design FPGAs using free Xilinx Vivado tools.
