Arty A7 FPGA board: Access to pins BDBUS2 and BDBUS3 of FT2232H


HonzaMat

Question

Hello,

for my project, I would need to physically access pins BDBUS2 and BDBUS3 of the FTDI FT2232 chip on Arty A7 board.

I understand that the circuit part around the FT2232 chip is proprietary and not part of the released schematic. Is there any pin/pad on the board that would allow me to physically access these signals (i.e. solder there a piece of thin wire)? Or would I need to solder wires directly onto the pins of the FTDI chip?

Note: I do not yet have an Arty A7 board at my disposal so cannot investigate the physical connection myself.

Thank you, regards

Jan Matyas

@HonzaMat,

May I ask if there's something in particular you need to do for which you wanted these pins?  Perhaps there's another way to do it.  If it's high speed communication with a host, that can be done via the network.  The Arty does have a nice network port you can use.
