Hi all,

At the recent Xilinx World Wide Sales Conference, the PYNQ team hosted a series of 1-hour walkup labs on the ZCU111 RFSoC Platform.

**Today, we are open-sourcing the entire PYNQ & RFSoC lab as a preloaded ZCU111 SD Card image** – please see the [PYNQ\_RFSoC\_Workshop Github Repository](https://github.com/Xilinx/PYNQ_RFSOC_Workshop) for steps to get the SD card image and run the walkup labs.

These labs highlight several key RFSoC capabilities:

1. The **RF data converter path** is explored in external loopback– all control and visualization is done within JupyterLab running directly on the ZCU111.

2. In another bitstream, the **integrated SD-FEC blocks** are driven across multiple LDPC codes and modulation schemes to explore transmission reliability in non-ideal environments.

3. Finally, **Pythonic digital signal processing** is driven from the ZCU111 ARM processors controlling programmable logic FIR and FFTs.

Thank you if you were able to attend the lab. Otherwise, if you have access to a ZCU111, please feel free to download the image and replay the labs at your convenience.  
  
  
Best,  
The PYNQ team

Hi,  
I was trying with the latest 2.6 version of the RFSoC image.  
I am a newbie so please excuse if this is not the right place to ask this question.

I was able to load the Jupyter notebook and run the first notebook.  
However, the init\_B LED is always red.  
Before booting up from the SDcard I ran the BIST and it was green then and all the Good LED’S were green.  
So, Is this a problem or can I ignore it?

Regards  
sravan
