= Getting Started with WARP v3 =

This "getting started" guide is intended as a resource for new users of WARP v3. The idea of this guide is to present the initial steps in order to get "up and running" with the hardware and to minimize the amount of time it takes a new user to start doing their own interesting research on the platform. This guide is broken up into four pieces. We highly recommend new users read all of them.

1. [wiki:/GettingStarted/WARPv3/Hardware Getting to Know the Hardware] - A tour of the WARP v3 hardware and important information for proper handling of the board.
1. [wiki:/GettingStarted/WARPv3/Tools Recommended Tools and Equipment] - A list of the hardware and software tools we recommend for using the WARP hardware.
1. [wiki:/GettingStarted/WARPv3/IntroToTools Getting Started with the Xilinx tools] - Some initial exercises using WARP with the Xilinx design tools.
1. [wiki:/GettingStarted/WARPv3/Resources Additional Resources] - Extra resources and reference material for users as they begin their own research on WARP.
