Getting Started with the Compact Flash Demonstrations

2. Verify that the boot mode DIP switch (S2) is set to 01010111 (arranged switch 1-8,

1 = ON). This allows a bootloader program to be loaded from the CF card by the

System Ace controller. After the bootloader program has been loaded, you are able to

select a design to run by using the push buttons on the base board.

3. Verify the jumper JP6 is removed from the Spartan-3A DSP FPGA Development Board.

This allows the on-board PLL to be programmed by the I

C bus.

4. To connect the VGA camera to the FMC-Video card using the supplied CAT6 cable,

first plug one end into the Camera #1 RJ45 connector (J5) on the FMC-Video card. Then

plug the other end of the CAT6 cable into the RJ45 connector on the VGA camera.

Caution!

While the FMC-Video camera connector looks like a standard Ethernet connector, it

is not compatible with Ethernet, and ONLY works with the VGA camera provided with the VSK.

You may damage your equipment by connecting anything other than the VSK camera using the

provided CAT 6 cable. To be sure you have the correct cable, check that “CAT 6” is printed on the

cable covering.

5. Connect a DVI monitor to the DVI output connector (J3) on the Spartan-3A DSP FPGA

Development Board.

Note:

A VGA display may also be used by connecting the VGA cable to a VGA-to-DVI adapter

that is then plugged into the DVI output connector (J3) on the Spartan-3A DSP FPGA

Development Board.

6. Connect a DVI source to the DVI input connector (J8) on the FMC-Video.

Note:

A VGA source may also be used by connecting the VGA cable to a VGA-to-DVI adapter

that is then plugged into the DVI input connector (J8) on the FMC-Video.

7. Connect an S-Video display to the S-Video output connector (J1) on the FMC-Video.

8. Connect an S-Video source to the S-Video input connector (J4) on the FMC-Video.

9. Connect a host PC to the Spartan-3A DSP FPGA Development Board with a 9-pin

RS232 serial Null Modem cable. Connect one end of the cable to the RS232 Port (J17) on

the Spartan-3A DSP FPGA Development Board and the other end of the cable to the

serial port of the host PC.

10. Start and configure a HyperTerminal session on the host PC for 9600 baud, 8-bit,

no parity, and no flow control. You will be able to interact with the demo through the

HyperTerminal in real-time.

11. Connect the power supply to the Spartan-3A DSP FPGA Development Board power

supply input (J7).

12. Switch the power switch (S1) on the Spartan-3A DSP FPGA Development Board to

ON. The Power Good LED (DS1) on the Spartan-3A DSP FPGA Development Board

should be illuminated, indicating that power is available.

13. Use the North (S4) and South (S8) push buttons on the Spartan-3A DSP FPGA

Development Board to scroll through the demo selections and choose a demo to load.

You should see this displayed on both the monitor and LCD display (DS21) on the

Spartan-3A DSP FPGA Development Board.

14. Use the Center (S6) push button to load the demo. To reload the bootloader, press the

Spartan-3A DSP FPGA Development Board push button labeled Reset ACE (S9).

Note:

For the DVI and S-Video demonstrations, the video source used to drive the VSK should

be set to a resolution of 640x480P60, 800x600P60, 1024x768P60, 720P

50, 720P60, 1080P25,

1080P30, 1080I50, or 1080I60 for proper operation. You should see the output of the video

source shown on the display.

Each demo provides a series of menus, via the HyperTerminal program configured in

step 10, that allow you to exercise all of the capabilities of the design. See the VSK User

Guide (UG456

) for more information about each of the demos.

Installing the Software

The Xilinx Spartan-3A DSP FPGA Video Starter Kit includes a Xilinx Software

Development Suite DVD in the box, or you can download the software from the Xilinx

software registration site. In both cases, you must register the software as part of the

installation process. You cannot install the software until it has been registered.

Step 1: Accessing the Xilinx Electronic Fulfillment Site

This development kit comes with a full seat of ISE Design Suite: System Edition device

locked to a Spartan-3A DSP 3400A. This software includes System Generator for DSP and

the Embedded Development Kit (EDK) products.

You should have received an E-mail for the Xilinx electronic fulfillment site and already

may have had an opportunity to install the Xilinx software. If you have not done so, you

may register and install your Xilinx software now.

Note:

To determine the software you are entitled to (ISE Design Suite: System Edition device locked

to Spartan-3A DSP 3400A), please visit the Xilinx software registration and entitlement site:

www.xilinx.com/register.

To begin using the development kit software resources, the ISE Design Suite Software,

System Generator Design Suite, and the EDK Design Suite, you must first obtain

installation keys. To do this, you may register or download these products immediately on

the Xilinx Registration and Download Site at: www.xilinx.com/register

Step 2: Installing and Updating ISE, System Generator, and EDK Design

Software

If you still need to install the ISE Design Suite Software, this video starter kit comes with an

entitlement to ISE Design Suite: System Edition device locked to Spartan-3A DSP 3400A.

If you still need to install the EDK Design Suite Software, this video starter kit comes with

entitlement to a Full seat of the Embedded Development Kit Design Suite products. After

logging into the www.xilinx.com/register

site, select the check box for the Embedded

Development Kit (EDK).

If you still need to install the System Generator software, this video starter kit comes with

entitlement to a Full seat of the System Generator Design Suite products. After logging into

the www.xilinx.com/register

site, select the check box for the System Generator software.

Step 3: Register and Install Software

The System Generator Design Suite allows you to create DSP-specific designs, while the

Embedded Development Design Suite allows development of an embedded design, and

the ISE Design Suite Software allows you to place and route a design. An installed version

of System Generator, EDK, and ISE is needed before getting started. Any additional

software may be selected for evaluation for a period of 60 days.

After making the desired product selections, click Next. An installation code is presented.

Use this code to install the software from the Xilinx Software DVD in the Kit or use it with

the software that was downloaded from the Xilinx software registration and download site

www.xilinx.com/register

Insert the Xilinx Software Development Suite DVD that came with the kit or select and

install the Install image that was downloaded from the Xilinx registration and download

site. Follow the instructions included in the installation software.
