USB I/O Connection
HSDC Pro GUI control is accomplished through USB connector J3. This will provide the interface between
HSDC Pro GUI running on a PC Windows operating system and a FPGA development platform. For the
computer, the drivers needed to access the USB port are included in the HSDC Pro GUI installation
software. The drivers are automatically installed during the installation process. On the TSW14J10EVM,
the USB port is used to identify the type and serial number of the EVM under test, load the desired FPGA
configuration file, capture ADC EVM data from the FPGA, and send test pattern data to the FPGA for DAC
EVM testing.
