I’ve had a personal goal to start exploring FPGAs for a long time. As a software engineer, I was always drawn to the performance side: debugging, profiling, getting as close to the metal as possible.

This post describes bringing up the Microsoft Storey Peak board (under Windows).
Software setup All community work done before on this board was done using the Linux OS.
