Configuring The Fpga - Xilinx Virtex-7 FPGA VC7215 Getting Started Manual

Configuring the FPGA

This section describes how to configure the FPGA using an SD card included with the
board. The FPGA can also be configured through Vivado Design Suite using the .bit files
available on the SC card or online (as collection rdf0294-vc7215-ibert-2014-4.zip)

Insert the SD card labeled IBERT #1 provided with the VC7215 board into the SD card
reader slot located on the bottom side (upper right corner) of the VC7215 board.
Plug the 12V output from the power adapter into connector J2 on the VC7215 board.
Connect the host computer to the VC7215 board using a standard-A plug to Micro-B
plug USB cable. The standard-A plug connects to a USB port on the host computer and
the Micro-B plug connects to U17, the Digilent USB JTAG configuration port on the
VC7215 board.
Select the GTH IBERT demonstration with the System ACE™ SD controller SYSACE-2
CFG switch, SW28. The setting on this 4-bit DIP switch
to configure the FPGA. A switch is in the ON position if set to the far right and in the
OFF position if set to the far left. For the Quad 115 GTH IBERT demonstration, set
ADR2 = ON, ADR1 = OFF, and ADR0 = ON. The MODE bit (switch position 4) is not
used and can be set either ON or OFF.
