For LX9 and Nexys-3

The remaining sections of this document are intended to serve only as brief outlines of and

introductions to the steps necessary to modify the hardware and software for this project. Detailed

instructions on these procedures and the design tools are beyond the scope of this document.

Modifying the Project C Code

This section provides detailed information on changing the project source code, recompiling, and redownloading.

1. Modifying the C code and recompiling

a. To modify the C code, navigate in the Project Explorer to the maximPMOD.c file.

b. Double-click on maximPMOD.c. This will open the file in the source code editor. The file maximPMOD.c

contains the main() function for the demonstration application. The main() function initializes several

board peripherals, then prints a menu to the USB UART on the host board. Each menu choice calls an

underlying menu function which allows functions of each peripheral module to be tested.
