1.

 

Insert the provided CompactFlash card labeled “Reference Design” into your USB card 
reader. Make sure the card contains the files: 

FPGA_A.bit 
FPGA_B.bit  
main.txt 

The files FPG_A-F.bit are files created by the Xilinx program bitgen, part of the ISE 8.2 
tools. The file main.txt contains instructions for the DN9002K10PCI configuration 
circuitry, including which FPGAs to configure, and to which frequency the global clock 
networks should be automatically adjusted. 

2.  Insert the CompactFlash card into the DN9002K10PCI’s CompactFlash slot. 

3.3

 

Install DN9002K10PCI in computer 

If you are not using the DN9002K10PCI in a PCI slot, skip this step. You may instead choose 
to host the DN9002K10PCI over USB. 

The DN9002K10PCI is compatible with 3.3V or 5V PCI slots, either 64 or 32 bit. If the 
motherboard is 32 bit, then half of the edge connector will extend beyond the PCI slot. Do not 
plug the DN9002K10PCI into a slot backwards. It will fit, but this is wrong and potentially 
damaging with fire. The DN9002K10PCI can also be used in a PCI-X slot. 

The rest of this chapter assumes you are installing the board into a Windows XP computer. The 
DN9002K10PCI and provided software is compatible with other operating systems, but there is 
no corresponding quick start guide. 

3.4

 

Cables 

3.4.1

 

Connect RS232 Cable 

The configuration circuit displays status messages to an RS232 terminal. If (when) something 
goes wrong with configuration, this terminal will output error messages. Normally, you would 
only connect this cable when something is not working and you want to debug the problem. 

Use the provided ribbon cable to connect the MCU RS232 port (P3) to a computer serial port 
to view feedback from the configuration circuitry during FPGA configuration. Run a serial 
terminal program on your PC (On Windows you can use HyperTerminal 
Start->Programs->Accessories->Communications->HyperTerminal) and make sure the 
computer serial port is configured with the following options: 

•

 

Bits per second: 19200 

•

 

Data bits: 8 

•

 

Parity: None 

•

 

Stop Bits: 1 

•

 

Flow control: None 

•

 

Terminal Emulation: VT100 (or None, if available)
