Abstract

Virtex Series FPGA are used for establishing communication to the other sub units of an system. In order to establish the link, RS232 is used. The objective of this work is to establish link betwee n simulator board and RS232. The work is broadly segregated into two major steps . In step I, a Graphical User Interface (GUI) is designed and developed based on Visual C++/Vis ual Basic Platform which enables the selectivity of data . The selected data is en coded and coded data is sent to the simulator board using an RS232 serial link. Step I is processed using PC. In step II, the coded data is decoded to identify t he corresponding parameter data and it finally generates the required data. This generation of data is carried out by developing a code using VHDL language. The Step II is processed by using Power processor. The two steps are finally integrated and the out put is seen at the GPIO (General Purpose Input Output) pins.
