The AXM-VFX-EDK board (sold with the PMC-VFX base boards’ 

Engineering Design Kit) provides the standard Xilinx JTAG header, two 
RS232 terminal connections, as well as direct connections to the Xilinx 
FPGA.  These general purpose LVTTL (Low Voltage TTL) I/O points allow 
the user to emulate AXM-D modules while using ChipScope®.

Digital Input/Output Channels

 – Thirty 3.3 volt LVTTL/CMOS 

compliant input/output channels which can be configured as input or 
output with independent direction control. 

 

 

Xilinx JTAG Interface

 – The EDK board provides the standard Xilinx 

JTAG interface to allow direct programming of the FPGA and an 
interface with ChipScope®. 

 

 

Two RS232 DP9 Ports–

 The RS232 ports are provided for program 

data display and for general program debug and development. 

 

 

Programmable Change of State/Level Interrupts –

 Example code 

provides interrupts that are software programmable for any bit Change-
Of-State or level on 8 channels. 

 

 

Example Design – 

The example VHDL design, provided in the base 

board EDK, includes control of all I/O, and eight Change-Of-State 
interrupts.
