WARP FPGA Board I/O

10/100 Ethernet

Intel LXT972A physical layer Ethernet transceiver

Three status LEDs. LEDs only work after the PHY is initialized by a MAC in the FPGA.

RS-232 UART

MAX3221 (from Maxim or TI).

FPGA board configured just like a PC- male DB9 connector, Tx on 3, Rx on 2, GND on 5. Null-modem (crossover) female-female cable required to connect to PC's serial port.

Digital I/O

There are 16-bits of unbuffered 3.3v I/O connected directly to FPGA I/O pins, routed to standard male 100mil header. The header has four ground pins in the corner positions. The 16 I/O signals are labeled at the header. Bits 0-7 are in the top row, bits 8-15 in the bottom, both arranged right-to-left. The FPGA pin mapping is below.
