## Arty A7

* [Arty A7 - Start](https://digilent.com/reference/programmable-logic/arty-a7/start)
* [Arty A7 Reference Manual](https://digilent.com/reference/programmable-logic/arty-a7/reference-manual)

To get started, first install the [digilent board files](https://digilent.com/reference/programmable-logic/guides/installing-vivado-and-vitis#install_digilent_s_board_files). I recommend using the git approach. Once setup you can load the Vitis module and start developing with Vivado. See [Setting up the Vitis FPGA Development Environment](https://docs.excl.ornl.gov/quick-start-guides/vitis#setting-up-the-vitis-environment). To reserve the hardware use Slurm like normal, see [fish helper, slurm launch functions](https://docs.excl.ornl.gov/quick-start-guides/vitis#using-vitis-with-the-fish-shell-recommended-approach).
