PARTS OF THE FPGA BOARD

HOW TO CONNECT FPGA BOARD TO COMPUTER

INPUTS AND OUTPUTS OF THE BOARD

I Switches, push buttons and the clock can be used as inputs.

I Leds and seven segment display can be used as a output.

I You should connect these parts carefully in your verilog

module with your inputs and outputs.

UPLOADING THE BIT FILE

I Is done via digilent adept.

I Digilent adept link

I Dowload both utilities and runtime executables.

I After installing, open the board (from the switches).

I Then upload the bitfile.

UPLOADING THE BIT FILE - LINUX

I Run the following command from the terminal.

I djtgcfg prog -d Basys2 -i 0 -f Board232.bit

AFTER THE UPLOAD

I The board will behave as you coded it in the verilog.

I To run it second time, you have to upload it again, it is

uploaded to board for only one usage.

I After you make the switch off, all the information will be

vanished from the board and you have to upload the bitfile

again.
