=== How can I connect a ethernet to the EVP6472 ===

It's possible to connect an [http://store.sundance.com/product_info.php?products_id=79 SMT562E] to the EVP6472.  There is a header (RJ1) on the DSP board that has connections ready for this.


=== How can I connect the Xilinx JTAG to my board?  ===

There are two methods of connecting Xilinx JTAG to your SMT372T board.  There is the small header JP4, but the method we recommend is to use the [http://store.sundance.com/product_info.php?products_id=171 SMT568VC1] cable / connector.  If you bought your SMT372T as part of a system, you should have this cable / extender already.  The red wire plugs directly into your Xilinx pod.


=== How big is an EVP6472 system?  ===

The base system is around 120mm x 90mm x 50mm.  

The height of the system (around 50mm) depends on the exact configuration.  For specific information please contact us.
