• Arty A7 - Start
• Arty A7 Reference Manual

To get started, first install the digilent 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. To reserve the hardware use Slurm like normal, see fish helper, slurm launch functions.
