13 years ago --- Quote Start --- You need to read the user manual for the board. You may have done a couple of things; 1) Disabled the device from configuring when the power comes on. I'm not sure what power-on configuration options this board has. You may have selected one that does not currently work, eg., it does not have a programming file to load the FPGA. For example, a flash device that is blank. 2) You may have erased the power-on configuration device. In this case, nothing will happen when you turn the power on, the board will be waiting for you to program the FPGA. If you download the example I gave you to the board using JTAG and it works, then you know the board is fine. Then you can figure out how to program this design into whatever the board uses for power-on configuration. The key to understanding the above comments is that there is a single design, and two possible methods for configuring the FPGA. (1) A configuration loaded over JTAG into the FPGA is volatile, it goes away when the power is off. (2) The design can be programmed into non-volatile memory and the FPGA will be configured from that memory when the power is turned on. Now that you know what you are looking for, you need to re-read the user manuals for this board. Cheers, Dave --- Quote End --- Thanks Dave.. Thanks A Lot.. Accomplished :D .....
