First time user ZEM4310

Hi
i am a first time user on the “ZEM4310 Opal Kelly”
and i am a bit disappointed. i know that 98% of your device is based on XILINX,
but there is one device of Altera (ZEM4310 ) so i assumed there will be some guide that guide
you step by step .

some examples :

  1. were it is written that i need to download *.rbf file ?
  2. were it is written that i need to configure the device as “fast passive parallel” ?
  3. were it is written that i need to add license to the ?
  4. and there is more

and for the Crown jewel, the PCB revision 20121218 have reversed clock
(n is connected to the P and vise versa), this problem can burn the FPGA,
i have a little experience with that.
i ordered the ZEM4310 a couple of weeks ago and i got the 20121218 revision,
instead of the fixed 20131031 revision.

i don’t think that i missed something because i read the :
a. Getting Started Guide
b. ZEM4310 User’s Manual
c. FrontPanel User’s Manual

a few word a bout myself i have experience over 10 years in HDL (XILINX/Altera /Actel)
in Image processing / high speed closed loop system /communication ( modified tcp/ip etc) projects

can someone please clarify this ??
may be there is a document that i forget to read

Hi Oded–

I believe all your initial questions are answered in the README file in the Samples folder. Have you reviewed this?

N/P reversal will not burn the FPGA. It simply inverts the input signal.

The 20121218 PCBs are still in production due to existing inventory.

Hi okSupport
thank you for the fast response,
