Hardware Setup
Set JTAG mode (M[2:0] = 101) for downloading
Disable System Controller booting (Position 1 off)
Set SW16 to 0101 (1 = on, Position 1 →Position 4)
Note: JTAG mode is required for downloading bitstreams
VCU118 Hardware Setup
Connect a Micro USB cable to the PCIe Loopback card for power
– Connect this cable to your PC
Attach to the PCIe connector (U2) on the VCU118
Note: KCU105 board shown
VCU118 Hardware Setup
Attach the FMC XM107 board to the J2 HPC1 FMC connector
VCU118 Hardware Setup
Attach the FMC+ Loopback board to the J22 HPC FMC+ connector
VCU118 Hardware Setup
Connect the power supply to
the VCU118 (J15)
– Connect this cable to a power outlet
Note: Presentation applies to the VCU118
Hardware Setup
Connect USB Type-A to Micro-B
cables to the USB JTAG (Digilent)
and to the USB UART connectors
on the VCU118 board
–Connect these cables to your PC
– Power on the VCU118 board for the UART
driver installation
Note: Presentation applies to the VCU118
UART Driver Install
Determine the COM Port numbers for your system
Open the Device manager
Control Panel →System →Device Manager
–There will be two “Silicon Labs Dual CP210x” COM ports, Standard and Enhanced
–The Standard COM Port is the FPGA UART COM Port
–The Enhanced COM Port is the System Controller COM Port
–The COM Port numbers will vary from system to system
These COM Port Numbers will be used in several of the tutorials
Note: Presentation applies to the VCU118
Terminal Setup
If 115200 UART output occurs while set to 9600, you may need to
reset Tera Term. From the menu select:
Control -> Reset Terminal
