-The iMPACT software application supports communication (including FPGA configuration) between a computer running the IMPACT application and devices on the WARP FPGA board configured in a "scan chain".  In such a chain, serial data is fed from the output of each device to the input of its nearest downstream neighbor.  The first and last devices in the chain are connected back to the PC via dedicated USB boundary scan circuitry on the WARP FPGA board.  Establishing communication via this link is a critical first step in utilizing the WARP hardware.
+In this section, you will verify the ability to communicate with the WARP FPGA board over the USB link established in the previous section.

-If the second device in the chain is not selected, click on it to select it.  You will now verify the ability to communicate via devices in the boundary scan interface by repetitively reading the ID code of a specific device.  From the Debug menu at the top of the main iMPACT window, select "IDCODE Looping...".
