I want to add, having worked in electronics engineering before. This will be highlighted by any people (future customers) who has worked in a hardware software company.

You should really consider renaming the product. Even if you don't want do, your product is going to loose the Google game, it will never popup when people will Google "Zynq", "Zynq planning", "Zynq trial", "Zynq API", etc... and if it does, Xilinx will sue you as soon as they notice.

I've worked for a startup before, whose name was systematically getting auto corrected by Google (it was too close to another word and was interpreted as a typo) and it made it really hard for people to find it even when they were specifically looking for it. In retrospective, they should have changed name. Don't do the same mistake we did.

Obviously that's not the feedback you were anticipating, so sorry about that. ^^

thank you for the feedback! we are certainly not married to the name, but simply prioritizing the product/features ahead of it currently
i am curious. do people not google their product name ahead of time before the final name to get a sense of how searchable it will be?
