Connecting the Xilinx Board

Refer to the diagram Figure 1-3 FPGA Demonstration Board Component Layout on page 1-6 of the Xilinx Development System for this section.

1. Connect +5V to pin 1 of connector J9 and common to pin 2 of the same. Check the levels of the power supply before you connect to the Xilinx board.
2. The XChecker/Download Cable connects to J2 on the board. The pins are labeled 1-18 from left to right and top to bottom and the cable connects as follows:
   

   Pin 1: VCC
   Pin 2: RT
   Pin 3: GND
   Pin 4: RD
   Pin 6: TRIG
   Pin 7: CCLK
   Pin 9: D/P
   Pin 11: DIN
   Pin 13: PROG
   Pin 15: INIT
   Pin 16: CCKI
   Pin 17: RST
   Pin 18: CLKO
   

3. The switches SW2 need to be up down down up up up up down, where up means pushed in at the top.
4. The switches at connector SW3 can be used as 8 inputs to the chip that you can control by mapping your design to these corresponding ports. See Table 1-2 FPGA Pin Connections.
5. When you turn on power if everything is correct, the decimal points in the 7-segment LED's at U6 and U7 will be lit.
