# Vivado Basics

The lab series is designed for you to apply the knowledge gained on processor system architectures in practice — to see "from the inside" how zeros and ones flow through a circuit, just as they do in your own computers.

The EDA tool **Vivado** is used for effective engagement with the lab work. It is a fairly complex tool that requires a considerable amount of time to learn on its own.

To lower the barrier to entry, a set of materials covering the basic usage scenarios has been written and is presented in this folder.
