⚠️ <b>NOTE:</b> The developer kit is supported for Linux operating systems only.

## Developer Support

Opening a [GitHub Issue](https://github.com/aws/aws-fpga/issues) is the preferred method to get support with the AWS FPGA Development Kit. In addition, the [FPGA Development re:Post Tag](https://repost.aws/tags/TAc7ofO5tbQRO57aX1lBYbjA/fpga-development) is available to find FPGA-related discussion topics from the AWS community of customers, AWS customer support, and the AWS FPGA development team.

## Development Flow
After creating an FPGA design (also called CL - Custom logic), developers can create an Amazon FPGA Image (AFI) and easily deploy it to an F1 instance. AFIs are reusable, shareable and can be deployed in a scalable and secure way.

# Developer Support

* [**AWS Re:Post**](https://repost.aws/) is the first place to go to post questions, learn from other users, to engage with the FPGA developer community, AWS and Xilinx engineers to get help.

* You could also file a [Github Issue](https://github.com/aws/aws-fpga/issues) for support. We prefer AWS Re:Post as this helps the entire community learn from issues, feedback and answers.
* Click the "Watch" button in GitHub upper right corner to get regular updates.
