TEG2000 mounted on the TE0703

Overview

 This page showcases important details of the module-carrier combination TEG2000 + TE0703 and introduces the available script-based test designs to get the board up and running.

Requirements

HardwareSoftware
  • TEG2000 module
  • TE0703 carrier
  • Mini-USB cable
  • DC Jack cable
  • Cologne Chip recommended Software:
    • Yosys
    • EasyConvert Pace&Route

Getting Started with the TEG2000 + TE0703

The module TEG2000 has Cologne Chip GateMate FPGA onboard that allows you to create extensive digital hardware designs.

Most of the FPGA IOs are spread arround the carrier. The TEG2000 is assembled with a QSPI non-volatile Flash memory(128 Mbit) and plenty of IOs which enable great hardware expandability. For communication and configuration the carrier offers a JTAG/UART Interface.

Board Power-Up

 TEG2000 + TE0703 Hardware Setup and Power up

  1. Before connecting the Board to the PC, make sure to properly mount the module TEG2000 onto the carrier TE0703 via the B2B connector. It can only fit one way around.

  2. Check the Jumper settings. Bank Voltages to 1.8V. Caution! 3.3V setting could destroy the module. The description of the DIP-switches on the carrier can be found here.

  3. Use a Mini USB Cable to connect via USB to PC and a DC cable to connect to a power supply. The carrier TE0703 is supplied with 5V and 1A on the current limitation should suffice.
  4. Turning the board on, the LED D2 might be blinking if the module comes with a preloaded design. Otherwise the red DONE LED D3 would be ON if no FPGA design is loaded.
  5. The FPGA can be programmed with one of the example designs from cologne chip following the user guide ug1002 → Quick start. To be able to programm and communicate over UART with the board, you need to install the right driver for the FTDI device on the carrier with the zadig software.
    1. For the programmer to work you need the zadig software https://zadig.akeo.ie/
    2. Download the exe file
    3. Execute it and click on Options → List all devices. Then Options → Ignore Hubs or Composite Parents

    4. From the device list choose the Digilent USB Device interface 0 / TE0703 device interface 0. Then select libusb-win32 any version and replace the driver for one interface only!
    5. After that, you should see your device in the device manager as follows:

      You can return the device to normal by deleting the driver.
  6. If the QSPI Flash is loaded with our test design the green led should blink and you can connect to the board with a program like SmarTTY. Just open up SmarTTY and connect to with baud-rate of 115200. You may need to press the reset button to see the output.
