I've used the Nexys 3 board for some time and I've found the adept 2 utility to be very useful! I used the utility to write data to my Nexys 3 board and also read back results to my PC after running some tests. As long as my FPGA code could access the memories properly, I knew I could transfer results to and from my PC.
I'm now looking into moving to one of the Artix-based boards. But Adept doesn't work with them. I've read the documentation and I don't see any replacement for this capability. On one of the Arty boards, how does one transfer data with a PC? I suppose Ethernet could be used but wouldn't that require lots of software? Perhaps I'm missing some basic concept. Thanks for any help!
