This section covers using InterConnect
Studio to configure a TPLD1201 using a pre-built demo circuit.
When the TPLD is temporarily
configured, removing power from the device causes the TPLD to reset and the
configured circuit to be erased. The TPLD can be reconfigured multiple times without
needing to be reset between configurations.
- Open InterConnect Studio on the
computer to which the TPLD-PROGRAM is connected. Under Design, select
TPLD1201. Under Part:, select Default. Under
Package:, select RWB (X2QFN, 12).
- Search for TPLD1201 EVM
Demo and select the demo from the list of pre-designed circuits, or
select Empty Design to build a custom circuit.
See Section 3.3 for more details about the demo.
- InterConnect Studio opens the
chosen circuit.
- Select CONFIGURE TPLD1201
in the top left corner of InterConnect Studio to configure the TPLD in the
socket of the EVM with the circuit shown by InterConnect Studio. Select the
serial port connected to the TPLD-PROGRAM, then select OK.
- Some LEDs on the
TPLD1201-RWB-EVM flash during the programming sequence, which is
normal.
- If the configuration
fails, check the connections between the EVM and the computer, make sure
SW3 is ON, check the connection between the TPLD device and the socket
contacts, and retry.
Once the programming sequence is
completed, the TPLD device on the board is temporarily configured with the circuit
built in InterConnect Studio. The configured circuit can be tested using the
buttons, potentiometers and LEDs provided on the EVM.
