Acquisition of data from FPGA

[dsravitheja]

Hi guys,
I need to know how actually is the data transferred between FPGA and the PC or how to acquire the data from FPGA?
Any links to it is also good. Plz do help

Data is transferred electrically from an FPGA to a PC. There sometimes can also be other parts besides the FPGA that help out with that transfer.

K-J, you forgot to add links to back up your claims.
I think this article may help:

You could also use RF or IR to transfer data...

Or a servo actuating a blanket for smoke signal modulation. Maybe dsravitheja could be a bit more precise in his question?

I agree with the previous contributions.

To transfer data between a FPGA and a PC, you'll usually want to utilize interfaces, that are provided by a usual PC or can be easily attached. The FPGA is able to implement nearly any interface that's used in data communication.

Interfaces that are often used for FPGA to PC communication:
- JTAG (usually through the same vendor specific adapter that's used to configure the FPGA)
- UART
- USB
- Ethernet
- PCIe
