xupv2p

Helllo, Does anyone know about transfering data between two xupv2p boards, that is from one board to another? I appreciate your help

I did this by defining my own MGT protocol and connecting the board with a short SATA cable. It took a little bit of learning and then some coding but once I was done it worked with no problems. The corgen makes it pretty easy to setup. The hardest part is setting up the physical constraints.

Dear Nana Nmichou, You could display the data on a monitor driven by the XSGA port of one board, and use a USB webcam to read the data back into the other board. HTH, Syms.

Gee Symon, why not drive a paper tape punch with one board and then run the tape through a paper tape reader to get it into the other one.

I don't think this board has a paper tape reader/punch interface. I guess you could implement your own by emulating a PC parallel port, but that would require work while the video/USB interfaces are available as IP.

Exactly. Thanks Rick! At first, I was going to suggest writing the data to a DDR SDRAM DIMM and then swapping the DIMM _really_ quickly to the other board. But that's obviously daft. ;-)

I didn't realize the board had the usb and XVGA interfaces on it. since it has USB, you could write to a USB flash.... :^)

I agree, that is *obviously* daft! SDRAM DIMMs are getting expensive.
