The Lab 1 specification has now been finalised. I'm hoping you will have sufficient time to discuss any problematic aspects during the Week 3 and Week 4 lab sessions.
The rollout of the updated vm that includes the completed vadd tutorial files is proceeding - by 1:30 today, Bugle15 and Lyre15 were being updated. Horn will take until tomorrow morning.
We are rolling out an updated copy of the vm that will have the vector add application build in Documents/WorkSpace/vaddWS. This will enable you to commence Lab 1 without having completed the vector add tutorial yourself. While the update is taking place - it takes about 40 mins per machine - the vm on the machine currently being updated will not be available for use. The update will be completed before the lab sessions on Monday.
Due to the King's Birthday holiday next Monday, there won't be any classes that day, but that makes it an excellent day to make progress on getting started with lab work . I haven't tested Vitis 2025.2 or the lab exercises with Windows, but that should work OK.
We got through almost all of this week's lecture on Monday, so it seems senseless to hold a lecture this Wednesday, but we will meet for next week's lecture on Wednesday at 2pm in OMB150. It may help you to look at Ch. 2 of PP4FPGAs (the text linked at the top of the Lectures menu) before the lecture.
