GETTING STARTED
5. Please see Exploring the Software Tools for more information on the
USBController application.
6 Playing with your DN6000K10PCI via the
PPC’s
At this point, the DN6000K10PCI should be powered on. All present FPGA’s should
be programmed with the reference design bit files supplied by The Dini Group.
6. Hook up the PPC RS232 port 1 (P1). All PPC RS232 ports run at 19200 bps.
7. Press ‘1’ on the MCU menu to reconfigure all FPGA’s. When configuration is
complete the following text will be displayed on the PPC RS232 port:

8. At this point tests may be run from the MCU menu. Text will appear on the
PPC RS232 port as tests from the MCU menu are run on the associated
FPGA (At this point the PPC port is connected to FPGA A).
9. Press a key on the PPC RS232 port to display the PPC test menu. See the
section Using the Reference Design in Chapter 4: Introduction to the
Reference Design for more information.
Congratulations! You have now programmed the DN6000K10PCI and successfully
executed our utility to exercise various features of the board. All of the source code for
the embedded PowerPC utility is included on the CD for reference. The FPGA
design, written in Verilog, can also be found on the CD and used as a basis for a new
design.
