Setting up the ACX-BRD-HD1000-100G Development Board
Depending on your requirements, choose either the standalone mode or the in-system (plug-
in) mode of operation for the board. This guide will discuss both modes.
Standalone Mode
You need to connect the development PC and supply power to the board using an external
power source. The connections are shown in Figure 6.
Connecting the Development PC
The development PC is connected to the board using a JTAG ribbon cable that connects to the
USB port on the PC and the JTAG header on the board. The cable (bitporter cable) is
provided with the kit.
Connecting the Power Supply
Although the individual components on the board use different voltage levels, each of these
is generated on the board using a single 12V power supply input.
