In this step by step guide i'm gonna show you how you can get free samples.

But first, the rules you need to know.

If you don't know what a FPGA is, Don't sample it.

If you sample something, buy something (just be fair)

Don't oversample

And don't sell your free samples, please give respect to the company.
