UART FTDI chip

[yassinema2018]

i tested a uart verilog design working great on the zybo at 9600 bits/s, i can communicante with externel MCU's, now i want to send and recieve some data from my laptop. for that i want to use the onboard ftdi chip on the zybo, is it possible to access to MIO pins and write uart data the chip inputs ?

thank you

P.S.: have to correct myself. Appearently you can use the central interconnect for that.

UART are connected to pins that cannot be accessed by PL. You could use a USB-TTL chip. 

As a side note, I am missing the reference to the FTDI on the zybo_sch.pdf... or at least a reference to connector J11. Took me a while to find the uart pins

o.O

Okay it seems i can't connect directly 

 

thank you
