  1. This has been resolved. I had placed channel A in opto isolation to use a JTAG connector and channel A appears to be mapped to the RX/TX lines rather than channel B. Seems backwards from the hardware pin-out, but it works.
  2. Hello, I have a very simple project programmed into the FPGA and I am monitoring all of the I/O directly through ChipScope. Currently, I am experiencing some issues with implementing a UART. At this point, all I am really doing is monitoring the RX line (pin 101) for any edge triggers. Through the FT Prog tool, I have verified port B is setup as a virtual com port and as an RS232 UART. The com port shows up in device manager as expected. I've disabled chan A, so I am confident that I am picking the correct com port. When I open putty or tera term and try to send some random data over this line, I do not see any activity on chipscope. Chipscope is clocking because I can trigger on other signals. Tomorrow, I will look at the FPGA and USB-to-UART chip (U3) under a microscope and see if I can see any loose pins or solder joints. I will also check the continuity between the sets of pins to rule out trace problems. If I can get my hands on one, I will probe U3 with a scope and verify I have chipscope setup to reflect reality. I may not have access to one this week though... which is the reason for my question: is there anything else that I may be overlooking in initial setup? Jumpers, etc? Appreciate any additional insight. Thanks!
