4. Procedure

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

shown in

Figure 1

. Power up the Nexys 3 development kit.

2. Connect the +7V power supply to the EXT_V+ connector. Connect the -6V power

supply to the EXT_V- connector. Connect the ground terminal of the power
supplies to the GND2 connector.

3. Download the latest RD6V01_00.ZIP

file located at

www.maximintegrated.com/fremont

. All files available for download are

available at the bottom of the page.

4. Extract the RD6V01_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\RD6V01_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\RD6V01_00.ZIP

(This path has spaces.)


For the purposes of this document, it will be C:\designs\maxim\RD6V01_00\.
