| The KCU-105 board requires some additional setup steps to be compatible with the DPGDownloader software. A Micro-SD card that contains the FPGA image used with DPGDownloader is included in the evaluation kit. Before powering on the KCU105 unit, this Micro-SD card should be inserted into the appropriate slot on the bottom right-hand side of the KCU105 evaluation board as shown in Figure 1. In order to boot up the KCU105 board using the image from the Micro-SD card, ensure that the DIP switch settings on SW15 are set according to Figure 2 below. | The KCU105 board requires some additional setup steps to be compatible with the DPGDownloader software, and these steps only need to be done **once** to properly configure the FPGA for future use with DPGDownloader. Before powering on the KCU105 unit, insert the Micro SD card with FPGA image into the appropriate slot on the bottom right-hand side of the KCU105 evaluation board as shown in Figure 1. Be certain to verify that the Micro SD card clicks into place when inserted. In order to boot up the KCU105 board using the image from the Micro SD card, ensure that the DIP switch settings on SW15 are set according to Figure 2 below. |

| Once these steps are complete, the KCU105 board can be powered on and plugged into the USB ports on the host PC. This step only needs to be done once in order to set up the FPGA board properly for any future use with DPGDownloader software. | Once these steps are complete, the KCU105 board can be powered on and plugged into the USB ports on the host PC. After powering on the KCU105, wait approximately 10 seconds so that the KCU105 has adequate time to load the FPGA image. If the KCU105's LEDs begin flashing immediately after power on, then the FPGA image has not been loaded correctly. In this case, remove the Micro SD card, confirm that the appropriate files are stored on the card, and repeat the above procedure. Be sure to verify that your Micro SD card is not being encoded when you write the FPGA image to it. Proper FPGA image programming can be confirmed by looking at the 3 LEDs near the KCU105's power switch--these 3 LEDs should be toggling in a heartbeat pattern. |
