12 years ago --- Quote Start --- But I would like to know if I don't have USB-to-serial adapter cable, are there other ways to convert it in software ? sorry I am beginner in FPGA. --- Quote End --- Why don't you start by telling me what type of FPGA board you have. Most FPGA boards have a JTAG connector that you can use to program them with. If you have a sufficiently recent FPGA, then you can also use JTAG to communicate with logic inside the design. You can learn about that method here http://www.alterawiki.com/wiki/using_the_usb-blaster_as_an_sopc/qsys_avalon-mm_master_tutorial Cheers, Dave
