User Modes
There are two use modes for this development board, standalone and in-system (plug-in). In both modes, the
user must provide power to the board through the dedicated power connectors using an external power supply
as shown in the figure below.
Standalone Mode
In this mode, the development board is placed on a bench, with control and data signals coming from the
surrounding interfaces, which may include the DIP switches, SMP connectors, I C header, Maxim temperature

sensor, DCC mcro-USB connector, nicro-USB connector for programming the FPGA over FTDI in JTAG mode,
etc.
