PC parallel port interface and configuration sources for free

Feb 25, 2004 0 Replies
´dlk´ sources available for free now (non-commercial use or evaluation).

The ´digital logic kernel´ (´dlk´) is an easy applicable system construction kit for developing FPGA based digital systems. For development and production of ´dlk´ based FPGA systems no programming devices, pre-programmed or special parts are needed. The system includes a standard interface to the PC for fast communication and comfortable administration purposes.



included sources:


  • PC interface (FPGA based, via parallel port, including SPP, PS2 and EPP mode)
  • JTAG (Xilinx Parallel Cable III, DLC5) emulation in FPGA for CPLD or FPGA programming
  • CPLD logic for boot process and FPGA configuration from bytewide standard FLASH memory
  • software for systems administration
  • device driver for Windows operating systems
  • demo board schematic with application examples and MCU software
