Good news - Floating Vivado license available for community use
Good news - if you are working on open source amateur radio satellite FPGA code, we have a resource available for you.
Thanks to Yasme Foundation and ARRL Foundation support, Open Research Institute has purchased a floating Vivado license (Vivado HL System Edition). This includes the System Generator for DSP.
The only requirement is that the work be open source and publicly accessible.
The license files are distributed through a Github key management function, so if you already have a GitHub repository, then you are ready to go. Get in touch with me with your GitHub account name to start setup.
The process has been tested but I'm sure some snags will be revealed as more users come onboard.
If you are working on AMSAT-NA closed source FPGA work, then there are at least two older node-locked Vivado licenses available. You should already have access to those from within engineering.
There's a lot of really great opportunities to implement LDPC and other high-performance error correcting codes, along with finite state machines and camera support.
Does anyone have a need for another type of license? If there is something standing in your way of getting things done, please let me know.

Rounded up another node locked license for a total of three.
