In short, we rely heavily upon the Analog Discovery units in the lab and have grown to rely upon the scripting features that enable triggered signal averaging and custom signal processing. Is there a mechnism or plan to enable a similar set of features with the OpenScopeMZ. As a stand alone, simple scope the system works well but without the ablity to script its potential seems stunted. Ideas? Thoughts? Timeline?

Greetings, I am trying to build a very simple digital signal processing circuit into my FPGA, Basys 3 board. Below you can find a simple block diagram. As you can see the components are, - A clock converter - An ADC ( embedded xadc) - A digital filtering operation H(e^jw) ( simple addition, multiplication circuit) - An SPI bus for communicating with an external DAC I have managed to build the clock converter, and the filtering operation. However, I have failed over and over again at building SPI and ADC blocks. Especially the XADC block gave me ( and still giving ) a hard time. I am aware that programming FPGAs can be very challenging. However, my question is... Is there no other way to do it? No simpler way to program my Basys 3 ? I have spent a good amount of time studying how to work with IP blocks, and the block diagram feature of Vivado. However, it does not work. Or I should at least say, it is not straight forward in any sense. It is not user friendly. My block diagram is really really simple. I connect all the necessary connections. Clock to clock, data out to.. etc. But I can't even get an analog reading on my Basys 3. Last but not least, there aren't any tutorials on working with XADC. The video about Basys 3 XADC, made by Xilinx, is a total joke. The other video, "teaching" how to use the IP generator for XADC is also another joke. These are 2-3 min videos, just showing you that IP generation feature does exist. They do not show how to use it in any way. This whole text is not a proper question, I am aware of that. Yet I am open to anything. Suggest me another, simpler way to code FPGAs. Suggest me another, more user friendly device. Suggest me an alternative platform to develop digital signal processing algorithms. Please. Sincerely, Berk

Hi, I recently purchased a Zybo board and used the DMA Audio Demo (https://reference.digilentinc.com/learn/programmable-logic/tutorials/zybo-dma-audio-demo/start) to acquire audio input and output. The Audio codec records 5 seconds of audio and then passes it to the Zynq PL via I²S protocol, that is it transmits the bit clock BCLK, the word select RECLRC and the data recorded RECDAT. My goal is to take this data and apply a filter on it, before the stream is mapped into memory with a DMA and then sent back to the audio codec and played in earphones. But I don't really understand how the data is received by the PL and where to find it (in some buffer I guess) in order to take it, process it, and then put it back in a different buffer where the DMA could access it and do his thing. Does anyone have experience with this demo that could help me figure this out ? Thanks, Lucile
