11 years ago --- Quote Start --- Does it have a 100-mil header for GPIO? Buy an FTDI UM245R module from Digikey for $20 and it'll give you a USB-to-Serial interface to the board. The FPGA interfaces to the UM245R via an 8-bit parallel FIFO mode (8-bits data, and 4 control signals for the FIFO). MATLAB can then talk to the board like its a serial port. Cheers, Dave --- Quote End --- Hi Dave, I want to plot the graph in Matlab from the results displayed on the Terminal Windows of Altera Monitor Program, I don't know how to start, I came across your post here. I have the USB-to-Serial interface module that you mentioned here, could you please tell me how to get started and could you please link me to the relevant resources as I really need it? I assume I would need to do something like iord_altera_avalon_uart_rxdata(uart_base) but I could not find further info. I wanted to do in C code. Thank you very much.
