 +===== Description =====
 +
 +The Arty Z7 Out-of-Box Demo is similar to the demo that comes preprogrammed on the board when shipped to customers. The demo uses a wide range of the board's peripherals including the HDMI video inputs and outputs, audio output, LEDs, buttons, and USB-UART bridge.
 +
 +The demo forwards signals from the HDMI input port to the HDMI output port. To use this feature of the demo, an HDMI-capable source and an HDMI-capable monitor are required, as well as two HDMI cables.
 +
 +When any button is pressed, an audio sample is generated by the Zynq processor and is streamed out over the audio output jack for approximately 4.5 seconds. The sample generated is a 261 Hz sine wave, also known as the musical note C4. Note that as the audio output is mono, only one ear of a pair of headphones would play the audio.
 +
 +As long as the demo is running, the two RGB LEDs alternate cycling through the colors red, green, blue, and white.
 +
 +The user LEDs are continuously set to the state of user buttons. When only one of the user switches is switched on, the LEDs are inverted.
 +
 +Status messages are printed out over UART to a connected serial terminal.

 +===== Download and Usage Instructions =====
 +
 +First and foremost, releases - consisting of a set of files for download - are only compatible with a specific version of the Xilinx tools, as specified in the name of the release (referred to as a //release tag//). In addition, releases are only compatible with the specified variant of the board. For example, a release tagged "20/DMA/2020.1" for the Zybo Z7 is only to be used with the -20 variant of the board and Xilinx tools (Vivado and Vitis) version 2020.1.
 +
 +The latest release version for this demo is highlighted in green.
 +
 +**Note:** //Releases for FPGA demos from before 2020.1 used a different git structure, and used a different release tag naming scheme.//
