My design has a DVI board on the HSMC, is there something I can buy to share that HSMC with the DVI? found5520@yahoo.com Thanks. --- Quote End --- Well, I just took that USB module and connected it to HSMC (through HSMC debug header). I assigned appropriately input, output, inout pins on FPGA with those on USB. Potential issue here is voltage levels on both sides. USB has 3.3V pins and FPGA 2.5V. USB recognizes 2.5V inputs, so that's fine. 3.3V inputs to FPGA also is fine, I just turned off clamping diodes on FPGA inputs to protect them. I am not sure about DVI, you need to understand voltage/current levels to not to burn pins on chips
