Highlights: Highlights:
* New hardware support:
- Zynq SoC core devices, enabling kernels to run on 1 GHz CPU core with
a floating-point unit for faster computations. This currently requires an external
repository (https://git.m-labs.hk/m-labs/artiq-zynq) and only supports the ZC706.
- Mirny 4-channel wide-band PLL/VCO-based microwave frequency synthesiser
- Fastino 32-channel, 3MS/s per channel, 16-bit DAC EEM
- Kasli 2.0
* Matrix math support on the core device.
* Trigonometric functions and miscellaneous math library support on the core device.
