Connecting and Powering the WARP FGPA Board
Hardware Requirements
- Power Supply for the WARP FPGA Board (12V-DC)
- Parallel Cable w/ JTAG (Requires 5V-DC supply for Xilinx Parallel Cable IV)
- 9-pin serial cable
Connecting the Board
- Connect and Power the Parallel Cable
- Attach the parallel cable to the 25-pin port on your computer.
- Attach the parallel cable to the board using the JTAG connector. (The connection to the board is underneath the board on the middle-left side)
- Connect the parallel cable to a 5V-DC power supply. (The status light on the parallel cable should be yellow before the board is powered)
- Connect the Serial Cable
- Attach the 9-pin serial cable to one of the COM ports of your computer
- Attach the serial cable to the board. (The connection to the board is in the lower right hand corner on the right side of the board)
- Connect and Power the WARP FPGA Board
- Connect a 12V-DC power supply to the FPGA board. (The connection to the board is in the bottom right corner on the bottom side)
- Turn the power switch on. The switch located to the left of the power connection. (Turning on the board should cause a number of LEDs to light. If there is no flash card in the flash port, then that LED will be blinking until one is inserted)
