Hooking Up the Peripherals (PMODs)

VGA PMOD

Hook up Diligent's VGA PMOD to PMOD ports JB and JC. Connect a VGA display.

MicroSD PMOD

Hook up Digilent's MicroSD PMOD to port JD and insert an SD card into the card reader.

Audio PMOD

To make space for the keyboard and mouse, I moved the audio PMOD to the ChipKit header of the Arty A7 board. Hook up Digilent's PMOD Amp2 as follows:

Audio PMOD Pin	Arty A7 Board Pin
1 AIN	ChipKit Header IO0
2 GAIN	ChipKit Header IO1
3	Not Connected
4 ~SHUTDOWN	ChipKit Header IO3
5 GND	ChipKit Header GND
6 VCC	ChipKit Header 3V3

USB Host PMOD

I'm using the following PMOD from Machdyne:

The Machdyne USB host dual socket PMOD.

Hook up the PMOD to port JA and connect a keyboard and/or a mouse.

RTCC PMOD

The Real-Time Clock and Calendar PMOD is from Digilent:

There aren't enough PMOD ports on the Arty A7 to accommodate all BoxLambda peripherals. Instead of using a PMOD port, I hooked up the RTCC PMOD to the I2C pins of the ChipKit Header:

RTCC PMOD Pin	Arty A7 Board Pin
1 SCL	ChipKit Header SCL
2 SDA	ChipKit Header SDA
3 GND	ChipKit Header GND
4 VCC	ChipKit Header IOREF
