@zygot what uses/benefits would the external synchronization clocks provide if they were included on the board/pods? I am newish to FPGAs

Hey! I am wondering if there are any options for connection to larger touch screen displays (>5in) that can be connected through PMOD to an arty s7? I see that Avnet has some documentation on one for zynq here but I can find it for sale, looks like it uses two PMOD ports. anyone know of any others?

Never mind, I just looked again and Digilent has provided the info on the product page for the eclypse board. The model included is the 1410-105 https://store.digilentinc.com/eclypse-z7-zynq-7000-soc-development-board-with-syzygy-compatible-expansion/

Okay, I was referring to the specific model number. When you look at the ZMOD ADC 1410 there are three different models, each with a different max sample frequency, I am just wondering which one is included when you purchase the board with the ADC option. Thanks for the feedback tho, I am planning to use it for some intermediate level DSP exploration, along with some SDR stuff and making a hobbyist service monitor for my handheld radio. any option of the ADC would be fine for my projects I am just wondering which one is included when you buy it.

Hi! I see that the purchasing options for the eclypse z7 can include both a Zmod adc and dac, I am wondering which sample rate option these are? Looks like the Dac only has one option, but the adc has 3 different sample rates to choose from.

Okay thanks @JColvin that makes sense

Hello! working with microblaze and UART on the ARTY S7-25 board and having IO constraints issues. When I include the master XDC file provided by digilent, Vivado gives me an error (when i open the synthesized design) saying that it cannot place the UART pins because of user constraints. Bitstream can still be generated successfully, i havent actually tried to run the UART because I dont want to screw anything up. When I dont include the XDC file, the tools automatically route the UART_tx and UART_rx to pins R12 and V12, respectively, however in the XDC file they are filpped (UART_tx is on V12 and UART_rx is R12), which is causing the error. You can see the attatched picture of the auto-routing assigning UART_rx to V12. Here is the XDC code: ## USB-UART Interface #set_property -dict { PACKAGE_PIN R12 IOSTANDARD LVCMOS33 } [get_ports { uart_rxd_out }]; #IO_25_14 Sch=uart_rxd_out #set_property -dict { PACKAGE_PIN V12 IOSTANDARD LVCMOS33 } [get_ports { uart_txd_in }]; #IO_L24N_T3_A00_D16_14 Sch=uart_txd_in which is the correct way to assign pins?

is this still available? I have a brand new Genesys 2 I would consider trading

Hey guys! Genesys 2 for sale: - New but open box, all accessories included. - Still has unused Vivado voucher for the Kintex part on the board (expires in late october of this year) ebay link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/144134145928 Thanks for looking! ( I am going to post this to the EEVblog too so if you see it there just know its me) Message if interested

@zygot Yes good point, perhaps i should explain what I did better. I only used the Blue plastic piece from the heat sink part number above. When the original yellow clip came broken and the entire thing came off, I unscrewed the fan, and cleaned the old thermal pad off from the original passive aluminum piece. When the new one arrived, I only used the clip from it (because I couldn't find the separate clip part, only heatsink+clip together), however used the original passive heatsink itself, and screwed the fan back on. Also good point, I will keep this in mind. Thanks.

Jameco part listed below works!

Thanks @JColvin! I did some digging and found this one on Jameco, https://www.jameco.com/z/INL23001-13-1-7BU-T725-Radian-Platefin-Heat-Sink-BGA-23mm-Aluminum-Top-Mount-Clip-On_2313479.html it is not the same color but is very close to original size and should be okay. I will just screw the fan into the new one and if it works i will mark it as a solution.

Hey guys! Just got my new AWESOME Genesys ZU board! Sadly, my heat sink has just fallen off. The little yellow square piece was not seated fully and when I went to press it down, the whole thing popped off! Nice to see that gleaming Ultrascale+ chip haha, but I would like a working heat sink :) Is there a replacement part number for this? I need the sticky thermal pad stuff (which I am assuming is generic?), and the yellow clip. Thanks!
