(1) Pluto-II JTAG signals are accessible but require manual soldering of 6 wires to the board. Common characteristics:
FPGA configurationSelect a bitfile, and click the 'Configure!' button in the provided application. The process takes 10 to 20 seconds. The boot-PROM can also programmed/verified/erased (with Pluto-II and Pluto-3 only, since Pluto doesn't have a boot-PROM). ![]() How to connect the boards to a PCThe Pluto boards connect to a PC's serial port.
The secondary connectorThis is a small connector found on one side of the Pluto boards. This connector has only 4 pins (2 for power and 2 for IOs) so only serial peripherals can be attached. For example:
Here's Pluto-II connected to a color graphical LCD through the secondary connector. ![]() JTAGJTAG is optional and allows using Quartus-II's built-in support, including SignalTap II logic analyzer. To use JTAG, a separate JTAG adapter cable is required. FlashyThe Pluto boards are compatible with the Flashy ADC daughterboard (Pluto-3 is also compatible with FlashyD=two channels).
