How can I connect a ethernet to the EVP6472

It's possible to connect an 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 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.
