PMOD GYRO

My dear friends
HELP!!!!!!
I will cry
Could you teach me how to connect and receive data from pmod between UART, designing with vivado. The explanation must be dummy level :) THAAAAAAAANKS

    I have used the MAX3232 PMOD and it works fine with the ZedBoard.

     

    First, recognize that the MAX3232 is only a logic level to RS232 converter. You will need to convert the 'raw' data from your FIFO into ASCII format if you want it to be displayed correctly in the Putty or TeraTerm terminal window on your PC. Then you will need to 'serialized' the data using a UART type function.

     

    Once you have your serialized ASCII data, select one of the PL based PMOD connectors on the ZedBoard. Then, in your Vivado Block Diagram, connect the serial output of your UART to the PMOD pin 2. Connect the serial input of your UART to PMOD pin 3. You can do this by connecting the signals to an input and an output port and then generate a constraints file (.xdc) to let the Vivado tools know which phyical pins you want to connect the signals to. The ZedBoard Concepts, Tools and Techniques tutorial has a good example of these steps. It can be downloaded here: http://zedboard.org/support/design/1521/11

     

    You could also start with the ZedBoard master constraints file posted here: http://zedboard.org/support/documentation/1521
