## 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).

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.excl.ornl.gov/system-overview/zenith.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
