XSUSB Interface Board V1.0 User Manual
How to install and use your new XSUSB Board
The XSUSB Board works only with the XSA-50, XSA-100, XSA-200, XSA-3S1000 and XSB-300E Boards. It is not compatible with any of the XS40, XS95 or XSV Boards!
The XSUSB Board gets its power through the USB cable. It does not require an external power supply! However, the XSUSB Board does not supply power to the XS Board it is attached to; you still need an external power supply for the XS Board. Even if you have experience with the XILINX software tools, please read this section on setting the FPGA bitstream generation options for the XSUSB Board
Installing the XSTOOLS Utilities and Documentation
XESS Corp. provides the XSTOOLS utilities for interfacing a PC to your XS Board through the parallel and USB ports. These utilities should be installed automatically when you insert the XSTOOLs CDROM into your CDROM drive. If not, then manually run the SETUP.EXE installation program on the CDROM.
Setting the Jumpers on Your XSUSB Board
There are four jumpers on the XSUSB Board and shunts should be set on them as shown below. A shunt should be on jumper JP2. There should not be any shunts on jumpers JP1, JP3 or JP4.
Connecting the XSUSB Board to Your XSA or XSB Board
Just push the male DB25 connector on the XSUSB Board into the female DB25 connector on your XSA or XSB Board as shown in Figure 1. The fit of the connectors will keep the XSUSB Board in place, but you can also use the mounting screws to prevent the boards from separating.
Don’t worry if the metal shell on the XSUSB DB25 connector is loose. The shell will be held in place when the XSUSB and XS Board are connected. Note that the XSUSB Board works only with the XSA-50, XSA-100, XSA-200, XSA- 3S1000 and XSB-300E Boards. It is not compatible with any of the XS40, XS95 or XSV Boards.
