    In DE2 board, how to use a program on PC to send control signal from the program to the FPGA and receive data from the FPGA to the program?

    Basically, you can use any of the DE2 provided PC compatible interfaces (Ethernet, USB device, RS232) to do so. Also JTAG through on-board USB Blaster would be an option, but it misses a documented interface at the PC side.

    There are some demonstrations dealing with the PC interfaces, I think. To answer a possible follow-up question in advance: I'm not using the DE2 Dev Kit and don't have any ready to use examples of PC communication. Other forum members may have.
