Configuring the FPGA

This section describes how to configure the FPGA using the SD card included with the
board. The FPGA can also be configured through the Vivado Design Suite software using
the .bit files and .ltx probe files which are available online (as collection

Insert the SD card provided with the VC7203 board into the SD card reader slot located
on the bottom-side (upper-right corner) of the VC7203 board.
Plug the 12V output from the power adapter into connector J2 on the VC7203 board.
Connect the host computer to the VC7203 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 U8, the Digilent USB JTAG configuration port on the
VC7203 board.
