The MAX II Development Board obtains power from either the USB or
PCI interfaces. The three-pin jumper J8 controls whether power is
obtained via USB or PCI. The board ships with the power control option
set to USB (the shunt on J8 connects pins 1-2). To power the board from
the PCI Edge Connector, the shunt should be moved to pins 2-3.
To use the board outside of a PC chassis, you must connect the USB Type
A-B cable (included with the kit) from your PC to the board. The first time
you connect to your PC, the operating system will notify you that it
“Found New Hardware.” Windows XP automatically installs drivers for
you, while Windows NT and Windows 98 do not. The drivers are only
necessary if you are planning to use your PC to transfer data to and from
the MAX II development board. For more information, refer to
“Reference Design 1: USB Reference Design” on page
ByteBlaster II Cable
The ByteBlaster II cable is used to download new programming files to
the MAX II device. The board supplies power to the ByteBlaster II
download cable. Connect the ByteBlaster II cable’s 10-pin female plug to
the MAX II device JTAG header on the board (J2) and connect the other
end to your PC to configure the MAX II device directly using a POF file.
