USB104 A7 Standalone ?

[petarv]

Hello

I am new with the Digilent products. 

I have a question about the USB104 A7. Can the board function standalone without a pc, just on a power supply?

 

Thank you !

Hi @petarv,

Yes, but you would have to create and load a configuration into the device's flash memory (for either an all HDL design or with a bootloader if you implemented a processor into the hardware design) and have the pin1 of Switch 1 (SW1) be set to the QSPI side.

What you can then do with the board while in standalone mode entirely depends on what you configured the FPGA to do, though you would only be able to reconfigure the device to do something different after reconnecting it to a host PC.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
