Hello,
I am simply an experimenter and trying to learn more about FPGAs. I came across the Alchistry products and appeared to be a reasonable way to start. I understand I should be use Alcitry Labs to develop and experiment with the AU board. On reading about installation, I discovered I needed to install Vivado from Xilinx as well. I went to Xilinx's website and discovered that I needed to fill in a form pertaining to US Government approval for exports. I have filled such forms many time in the past while employed by various organisations. My purpose for learning about FPGAs is strictly as a personal project. How do I obtain Vivado if I do not want to include an employer's name or company name on the application form? I live in Australia which has always been on friendly terms with the US
Thanks.
