Hello students,
Many of you are interested in mini-projects that will likely require to use the ARM HPS and Linux.
For that purpose, you can use the demos from Sahand's Design Guide repository: https://github.com/sahandKashani/SoC-FPGA-Design-Guide
You will want to look at the DE1 demos and documentation. Normally, if you use the VM we provide you, the demos should be compilable and runnable without extra configuration, but ask us if you are stuck with any part of the process.
Have a nice week,
Jonathan
