Regarding communication data on hyperterminal in NEXSYS A7 board

[Dr. VM]

Dear 

I want to communicate data on HyperTerminal from NEXSYS A7 board. As no serial port is available  nowadays on the Laptop/PC and also not on the FPGA board. How we send data to HyperTerminal.

Hi @Dr. VM,

I presume you are just wanting to communicate with the Nexys A7 over a serial terminal. You can do this through the on-board USB connection (J6, near the power switch, more details in the reference manual here: https://digilent.com/reference/programmable-logic/nexys-a7/reference-manual) and send data to and from board over your preferred serial terminal (HyperTerminal, Putty, TeraTerm, etc).

As the Nexys A7 is an FPGA, you'll need to configure it to process or send the UART data. Both the Nexys A7 GPIO demo, https://digilent.com/reference/programmable-logic/nexys-a7/demos/gpio, and the Getting Started with Baremetal Software guide, https://digilent.com/reference/programmable-logic/guides/getting-started-with-ipi, set up the Nexys A7 to send data over the serial terminal when an event occurs (usually a button press). 

You can of course also set up some external UART loopbacks, such as mentioned here https://forum.digilent.com/topic/25288-looking-for-a-uart-programmable-logic-example-project-for-arty-s7-with-vivado-20222/#comment-75095, where you can take a character from the host computer and have it sent out over an external Pmod pin as well as being able to take external UART data coming into Pmod pins and send them back to the host.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
