Welcome to the bases to board overview.

00:10.840 --> 00:15.550
If you're using the bases to board for this course I'm going to go ahead just give you an overview of

00:15.550 --> 00:17.040
what to expect when you get your board.

00:17.110 --> 00:18.200
How to test it.

00:18.250 --> 00:20.270
And just a few things on the board.

00:20.500 --> 00:23.400
So your basic keyboard should come in a box.

00:23.410 --> 00:24.530
It looks something like this.

00:24.550 --> 00:30.190
If you buy it from the vigilent Web site the length is provided and if you open it up you'll see the

00:30.190 --> 00:32.750
picture we just have a picture of the bases to board.

00:32.920 --> 00:39.440
When you open it up you should see the bases board itself and us be table.

00:39.490 --> 00:44.390
And this is what we use to power the board as well as program the bases to board.

00:44.390 --> 00:51.220
So let's go ahead and take the base just to board out of our box and take the USP cable in order to

00:51.220 --> 00:52.660
test that.

00:52.660 --> 01:01.990
What we want to do is you'll notice that we have a little jumper up here and the top top of your top

01:01.990 --> 01:03.010
right corner.

01:03.190 --> 01:06.370
And there's two different sections you can go between.

01:06.430 --> 01:11.600
It will be either there's a PC in Iran in order to test this.

01:11.740 --> 01:18.400
You want to make sure that the jumper is selecting the ROM and the middle pin and what that will do

01:18.400 --> 01:25.420
is that's going to say that the configuration file loaded on flash memory on the board.

01:25.480 --> 01:28.310
So when you powered it up it'll come off from the ROM.

01:28.580 --> 01:34.180
And ladies should light up your 7st display should be flashing just let you know that your board is

01:34.180 --> 01:35.100
working.

01:35.100 --> 01:37.210
So let's go ahead and power this guy up.

01:37.590 --> 01:45.310
He is going to plug here us be table in and then plug it into us B which you can just plug it in your

01:45.310 --> 01:48.310
computer or if you have a wall wart or something.

01:48.340 --> 01:52.730
It's just a standard US be 5 volt power.

01:53.160 --> 01:56.840
Go ahead and plug it in.

01:57.750 --> 02:00.460
And now we go ahead hit our switch.

02:00.570 --> 02:04.950
Turn that on and you'll see our board is powered up.

02:04.950 --> 02:09.810
So we've got our lady here telling us that the board is powered up and working correctly.

02:10.110 --> 02:16.280
We've got our seven segment display which is displaying counting and hacks from 0 up to half.

02:16.550 --> 02:22.810
And we've got push buttons and switches we can hit we going see that the LCD is turning on.

02:23.100 --> 02:27.350
So that's good that's telling us that all our ladies work the boards working and everything's OK.

02:27.370 --> 02:29.880
Which This should factor this already tests.

02:29.910 --> 02:36.500
But just a quick way for you to make sure that your board is working and so on the board we have this

02:36.500 --> 02:39.330
small little chip kind of directly in the center.

02:39.440 --> 02:45.510
And if you look really close at it on yours you'll see has a Xilinx symbol and it'll say Spartan and

02:45.510 --> 02:52.890
that is because it's a Xilinx chip and it's a Spartan series FPGA and we've got a few other peripherals

02:52.920 --> 02:53.720
we have.

02:54.150 --> 02:58.630
As you can see here the USP port which is used to program empower our board.

02:58.890 --> 03:03.410
We've got all the switches which we'll be using in the labs throughout the course.

03:03.570 --> 03:12.050
We've got these push buttons which we'll use as well you can see when I hit them it unlikes the selected

03:12.060 --> 03:20.100
segment on the 7 segment splay and then we've also have several these different clumpy mods through

03:20.100 --> 03:23.250
digital and Web site and essentially what they are they give you access.

03:23.250 --> 03:29.130
You can take wires plug wires into the air and stick them in a breadboard which we do in our RC servo

03:29.430 --> 03:37.380
lab and it just gives you access from the outside taxi access pins on that FPGA and they do sell little

03:37.380 --> 03:42.080
pea mods connectors you can stick in there and do other cool things with.

03:42.090 --> 03:47.400
So this is kind of an overview of what the bases to board looks like will be what we'll be doing and

03:47.460 --> 03:53.280
we're going to be working with the Ltd's seven Sigma display the pushbuttons and we will work with the

03:53.280 --> 03:56.100
Pimas RC servo.

03:56.100 --> 04:01.110
So that is kind of what you can expect and I hope you're ready to learn.
