Introduction
===============================================================================
The main purpose of this user guide is to help the user understand and use
(modify or otherwise) the HDL resources provided by `Analog Devices, Inc.`_,
and to provide advices and instructions for using these resources.
These resources are found on the GitHub, the
:git-hdl:`/`.
After reading this guide, the user should be able to build a specific project
from the :git-hdl:`/` and be able to modify
(if so desire) the digital data path implemented in the FPGA.
Furthermore, all ADI developed and supported IPs are presented in detail.
At the same time, this user guide does not intend to be a guide for any third
party tool. To understand and use the HDL framework efficiently the user needs
to have a **solid understanding on how an FPGA works, to be familiar with all
the design tools and flows**.
If somebody does not have this knowledge we highly recommend to make some
general research and go through some basic tutorials with the targeted
development platform. At the vendor's support pages you can find an abundance
of information:
* `AMD Xilinx support`_
* `Intel support`_
