Hello all, first time poster on EEVBlog here.
I just purchased the MachXO2 breakout board after viewing Mike's video on driving LED matrix displays. I've only had it a few days and am having much fun playing with it so far.
All the documentation I have read about it only talks about using the USB cable for programming. I am thinking, with some modifications, it should be able to be switched between programming and uart communications with a project running on the FPGA. I know I can get another FTDI USB to serial cable to use with a soft uart in the FPGA, but I would rather use the one on the breakout board.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I'm new here, but I'm not looking for someone to do this for me. Just looking for advice.
@Mike: Your video also touched on uart communications. How was yours setup?
