Hello all,
I have a Spartan 3A starter board.
I would like to know which one of the below 2 ethods will be a better way to interface it to my laptop (No RS-232) fro debugging.
1.Use an RS-232 to to USB covertor and connect to laptop.
I hope that the convertor will have a Virtual com port driver and so I can use Hyperterminal.
2.User an UART to USB PMOD from digilent on the 6-pin expansion connector with hyperterminal and VCP drivers.
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers
