1. Running an Example Project

For this example, you can download the example program demo.ise, linked at the bottom of the page. To run a project, connect the USB cable to the NI Digital Electronics FPGA Board, apply power to the board, move the power switch to the ON position, and complete the following steps.

1. Launch Xilinx ISE.

2. Select File»Open Project and navigate to the location of demo.ise. Click OK.

3. In the Processes pane of the project window, expand Configure Target Device.

4. Double-click Manage Configuration Project (iMPACT) , as shown in the following figure.

2. Verifying the Onboard Flash PROM

For this example, download the example program prom.ise, linked at the bottom of the page. You can use this example program to learn how to verify that a program works before programming the onboard serial platform flash PROM on the NI Digital Electronics FPGA Board. To verify this program, connect the USB cable to the Digital Electronics FPGA Board, apply power to the board, move the Power Switch to the ON position, and complete the following steps.

1. Launch Xilinx ISE.

2. Select File»Open Project and navigate to the location of prom.ise. Click OK.

3. In the Sources pane of the project window, double-click main - Behavioral (main.vhd). The main.vhd code will open in the main pane, as shown in the following figure.

prom.ise Project Window (main.vhd)

You can scroll down the main.vhd pane to find the following example program.

entity main is

Port (

btn : in STD_LOGIC_VECTOR (3 downto 0);

led : out STD_LOGIC_VECTOR (3 downto 0));

end main;

architecture Behavioral of main is

begin

led(0) <= btn(0);

led(1) <= btn(1);

led(2) <= btn(2);

led(3) <= btn(3);

end Behavioral;

4. In the Sources pane, double-click ElvisFpga.ucf (ElvisFpga.ucf), the UCF file associated with prom.ise.

5. In the Processes pane, expand User Constraints, then double-click Edit Constraints (Text).

The ElvisFpga.ucf file contains the following declarations in the Processes pane:

NET led<0> LOC = 'C11' IOSTANDARD = LVTTL SLEW = SLOW DRIVE = 8 ;

NET led<1> LOC = 'D11' IOSTANDARD = LVTTL SLEW = SLOW DRIVE = 8 ;

NET led<2> LOC = 'B11' IOSTANDARD = LVTTL SLEW = SLOW DRIVE = 8 ;

NET led<3> LOC = 'A12' IOSTANDARD = LVTTL SLEW = SLOW DRIVE = 8 ;

NET btn<0> LOC = 'C13' IOSTANDARD = LVTTL PULLDOWN ;

NET btn<1> LOC = 'D12' IOSTANDARD = LVTTL PULLDOWN ;

NET btn<2> LOC = 'C12' IOSTANDARD = LVTTL PULLDOWN ;

NET btn<3> LOC = 'C10' IOSTANDARD = LVTTL PULLDOWN ;

6. Select File»Save All.

3. Testing the Program on the FPGA

Download

To ensure that the program runs well on the FPGA, complete the following steps.

1. In the Sources panel, select the Sources tab, then select main - Behavioral (main.vhd).

2. In the Processes pane, expand and double-click Configure Target Device. This updates all question marks, , with checkmarks, , indicating the successful configuration and generation of files and associated devices.

The Transcript pane of the project window displays the configuration progress. The compilation takes several minutes.

The iMPACT - Welcome to iMPACT window will open.

NOTE If the iMPACT - Welcome to iMPACT window does not open, launch iMPACT by selecting Start»Programs»Xilinx ISE Design Suite»ISE»Accessories»iMPACT.

3. Select Configure devices using Boundary-Scan (JTAG) andAutomatically connect to a cable and identify Boundary-Scan chain (these should be selected by default). Click Finish. The Assign New Configuration File window will open.

4. Select the main.bit configuration file in the Assign New Configuration File window. Click Open.

You have the option of selecting additional configuration files. Because you do not need a new configuration, click Cancel. The Device Programming Properties window will open.

5. In the Device Programming Properties window, select Device 1 (FPGA, xc3s500e) to program Device 1. xc3s500e refers to the Xilinx XC3S500E Spartan-3E FPGA on the Digital Electronics FPGA Board.

6. Click OK. The Boundary Scan pane will open in the project window.

7. Right-click the xc3s500e main.bit icon and select Program.

After the FPGA successfully programs, the Boundary Scan pane displays Program Succeeded. The FPGA application is now executing on the board.

8. Select File»Close Project, and save all changes.

4. Formatting the PROM

Before generating the PROM file, you must create the FPGA bitstream file. The FPGA provides an output clock, CCLK, when loading itself from an external PROM. To format the PROM, connect the USB cable to the NI Digital Electronics FPGA Board, apply power to the board, and move the power switch to the ON position.

1. In the Processes window, select the Processes tab.
