Title: Help : newbie wants to learn CPLD
Post by: samira on April 08, 2011, 09:11:41 pm
I am a newbie in CPLD area, currently auditing digital logic class at the local community college( reading : professional student == senior citizen) .

I plan to use your XC9572XL board since it can tolerate 5 volts.
I would like to use this board in conjunction with my arduino board.

I hope the learning curve is not too steep.

Quesion :
What kind of programmer hardware ( connecting cable) do I need ?
BusPirate ?

Please advice as to which programmer I should use.

thanks.
samira

Hi samira,

You can use the Buspirate to program the XC9572XL board. The directions are here: http://dangerousprototypes.com/docs/Bus ... SVF_player (http://dangerousprototypes.com/docs/Bus_Pirate_JTAG_XSVF_player)

An other option is the busblaster, but the buspirate is a more versatile option.

the buspirate: http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/bus-pi ... ?cPath=174 (http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/bus-pirate-v3-assembled-p-609.html?cPath=174)
busblaster: http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/bus-bl ... ?cPath=174 (http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/bus-blaster-v1-jtag-debugger-p-776.html?cPath=174) (there should be an v2 anytime soon :))

Please post your projects!
