ARM V2C-DAPLink for DesignStart FPGA¶
Overview¶
The ARM V2C-DAPLink for DesignStart FPGA shield can be used to provide DAPLink debug access to the ARM DesignStart FPGA reference designs implemented on the Digilent Arty.

In addition to DAPLink debug access, the V2C-DAPLink shield provides the following hardware features:
QSPI NOR flash
Micro-SD card slot
Programming¶
When using the V2C-DAPLink shield with the Cfg
jumper (J2
) open, the CPU
will boot from ITCM and flashing can be performed automatically. The console is
routed to USB connector J10
on the Digilent Arty. For example:
# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b arty_a7_arm_designstart_m1 samples/hello_world -- -DSHIELD=v2c_daplink
west flash
When using the V2C-DAPLink shield with the Cfg
jumper (J2
) closed, the
CPU will boot from the V2C-DAPLink QSPI NOR flash. The console is routed to USB
connector J1
on the V2C-DAPLink. Flashing needs to be done
manually by copying the resulting zephyr/zephyr.bin
file to the USB mass
storage device provided by the V2C-DAPLink shield:
# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b arty_a7_arm_designstart_m1 samples/hello_world -- -DSHIELD=v2c_daplink_cfg
