Does the Arty A7 board require a license file?

[brahmadev]

I have worked before with Genesys 2 board and Zybo (Zynq-7010) board. The Zybo board can be used on any PC without any issue but the Genesys 2 board is constrained to one computer which has the license file (if we want to run bitstream generation). So, I wanted to find out if Arty A7 board is constrained like this or not. 

Thanks for the help!

Hi @brahmadev,

No license is required to generate bitstreams for the FPGA present on Digilent's Arty A7. You can verify this for yourself by seeing what device groups are listed as supported in the Vivado ML Standard Edition column in Xilinx's UG973: https://docs.xilinx.com/r/en-US/ug973-vivado-release-notes-install-license/Supported-Devices.

Thanks,
