Xilinx Platform Cable USB II

First unplug the Beetle board. In order to flash the different firmwares into Alibava’s FPGA we use a board called Xilinx Platform USB Cable II. We must install a Xilinx’s software called iMPACT and the proper drivers. Once iMPACT and the drivers are installed, the led in the Platform Cable should change to green once the Alibava’s board is powered. To flash a firmware follow the instructions given in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNzgzbvjPLA
