Antti,

I'm really shocked you would post a URL like this
to this newsgroup. I urge everyone to avoid
visiting this ridiculous site.

Is there any "administrator" who can remove the post?

On the contrary, this is not spam.  It is on topic (fpga's) and isn't
selling anything.

I am curious.  Do you object to:
1.  Posting schematics for download?
2.  Charging a fee for downloads (there is a free option)?
3.  A website that just sells disk space and bandwidth?
4.  The advertisement on the website?
5.  Reverse engineering?

That site just really bugged me. So much stuff on it,
and the thing you want is like finding a needle in a
haystack. Then you figure out you've got to enter a
3 letter code based on a picture, and when you do that...
it says "sorry, try again." I posted the complaint after
the first failed attempt.

I tried a 2nd time and got the file.

I think my complaint isn't any of 1-5 specifically, it's
just how this particular site functions.

Hi Alan,

first :) - tnx.
I am very technical person, so the SPAM thing didnt even occour on my
mind. really. I had found something that I think is of interest - the
schematic is essentially what is missing in the Spartan3e starterkit
schematics, e.g. it is what belongs on that empty page there.
To what i know that is of interest to several people who want to use
the FX2 on s3esk board.

There is some reasoning for the style of initial posting, and secondly
I was really busy today with tasks like scarving ships out of skin of
wood and making panncakes. So i had not much time. The children are in
listening mode now (evning fairy tale reading) so here is the direct
and hassle free download link to the same schematic.

You haven't understood the purpose of this site. Maybe because it's only in
German... It is NO spam! Rapidshare is a sort of "free web space" provider and
quite popular.

To download the file, you have to choose the "Free"-button at the bottom, enter
the chars you see in the funny image, click "Download" and you get the file. Not
really convenient, but for usable for a quick file exchange without an own server.

BTW: The file is really a PDF with a schematic...

Antti, thanks for sharing this schematic.
A little too late for me although. I connected FX2 to external
connector of s3esk - better option. If I used the platform cable HW
instead I would loose on-board JTAG and there are not any IO pins
connected to Spartan.
Courious: why the FX2 on the schematics does not have any external
EPROM?

Cheers,

Guru

I suppose only the relevant FX2 <> CPLD wires are included,
e.g. the standard stuff is not drawn (this is my guess)
the schematic is not intended to be full schematic

Hi Antti,

I agree the original post wasn't SPAM, but that website is simply NASTY!
and though I went through its rigmarole five or six times, it kept on
saying the download session was invalid...
Perhaps it only works with Internet Explorer or something.

so...

Thanks for the direct link!

And thanks for all your generous contributions to comp.arch.fpga.
