The Xilinx PYNQ Hackathon is a 48h no-stop competition where participants are going to develop their ideas on the brand-new PYNQ platform. This second edition is oriented to IoT applications (smart buildings, automotive, biomedical field, and so on). The target board will be the PYNQ-Z1 board featuring the ZYNQ XC7Z020-1CLG400C All Programmable SoC, while the participants will leverage Amazon AWS IoT to build their applications.
