Connecting a PC to Your XS40 Board
The 6' cable included with your XS40 Board connects it to a PC. One end of the cable
attaches to the parallel port on the PC and the other connects to the female DB-25
connector (J1) at the top of the XS40 Board as shown in Figure 1.
Connecting a VGA Monitor to Your XS40 Board
You can display images on a VGA monitor by connecting it to the 15-pin J2 connector at
the bottom of your XS40 Board (see Figure 1). You will have to download a VGA driver
circuit to your XS40 Board to actually display an image. You can find an example VGA
driver at
