The series will take five community members new to FPGASoCs and train them to better understand the technology, development tools and design flow process over the course of the twelve-week programme.

From Machine Learning and 5G Wireless to Cloud Computing and Industrial IoT,  the programme aims to show how simple it can be to use FPGAs within a project.

The trainees will receive a mix of training and mentoring provided by experts from the element14 community and Farnell element14, and the engineering team at Xilinx and Avnet, including element14 essentials courses on FPGAsand other proprietary training.

The five trainees will also be given a Minized development board — a single-core Zynq 7Z007S development board designed for entry-level Zynq developers and be required to build a project of their choice using the skills they have acquired from the training.
