Updates to FINN-examples since the last release include

New build flows and bitfiles for all models with FINN v0.10+
DSP-packed MVAU in MobileNet-v1 on ZCU104 and VGG10-RadioML example
Efficient implementation for per tensor thresholding, e.g. for ResNet-50 which allows the full design to be implemented on-chip without external memory
New example for Pynq-Z1: Binarized CNV topology from the FINN paper trained on the German Traffic Sign Recognition Benchmark (GTSRB) dataset
More stable flow for ResNet-50, fixed floorplanning and fixed FIFO depths to allow for faster rebuild times
The opset versions of the model files were updated to allow easy integration with the verification capabilities of the builder flow

Migration to PYNQ v3.0.1 and FINN v0.9
Newly built bitfiles with FINN v0.9
Migrated to new FINN (v0.9) driver: updated notebooks & QONNX dependency
A new notebook example and build script:
- Cybersecurity MLP: classifying network packets as malicious or not with an MLP on the UNSW-NB15 dataset.
Minor fixes in reporting and documentation

The build flow for ResNet-50 for the Alveo U250 has known issues and we're currently working on resolving them. However, you can still execute the associated notebook, as we provide a pre-built FPGA bitfile generated with an older Vivado (/FINN) version targeting the xilinx_u250_xdma_201830_2 platform.
The build flow for MobileNet-v1 for the ZCU104 works, but there are currently (known) issues with runtime-writeable weights. Therefore, we have excluded this example, but you can still integrate this IP into your design and try to deploy it with your driver.
