Running the GTH IBERT Demonstration

Figure 1-7

shows the ML628 board with the cable connections required for the Quad 117

GTH IBERT demonstration.

Configuring the FPGA

This section describes how to configure the FPGA using the CF cards included with the
board. The FPGA can also be configured through ChipScope Pro or iMPACT software
using the

.bit

files which are available online (as collection

rdf0116_13-1.zip

) at:

http://www.xilinx.com/products/boards/ml628/reference_designs.htm

To configure from the CF card:

Insert the CF card labeled

IBERT #1

into the CF card reader slot located on the

bottom-side (upper-right corner) of the board.

Plug the 12V output from the power adapter into connector J122.

Connect the programming cable to the host computer. Any of these cables can be used:

•

Platform Cable USB-II (DLC10)

•

Platform Cable USB (DLC9, DLC9G or DLC9LP)
