4. Procedure

1. Connect the Santa Fe board to the JB1 port of a Nexys 3 development kit as

shown in

Figure 1

. Power up the Nexys 3 development kit. The Santa Fe board is

completely powered from the Nexys 3 development kit and no external power is
required.

2. Download the latest RD5V01_00.ZIP file at

www.maximintegrated.com/AN5561

. All files available for download are

available at the bottom of the page.

3. Extract the RD5V01_00.ZIP file to a directory on your PC. The location is

arbitrary but the path prior to where you extract the .ZIP file must not exceed 82
characters due to the Windows 250-character total path limitation. For example,
this 90-character preceding path would be an example of a path that would be
too long:

C:\0123456789\0123456789\0123456789\0123456789\0123456789\0123456789\
0123456789\0123456789\0123456789\RD5V01_00.ZIP

(This path is too long.)


In addition, the Xilinx tools require the path to not contain any spaces.

C:\Do Not Use Spaces In The Path\RD5V01_00.ZIP

(This path has spaces.)


For the purposes of this document, it will be C:\designs\maxim\RD5V01_00\.
