How to program the MIDI chip

When you've constructed the circuit and got the SYNC24 side working you can follow these instructions to download the MIDI chip:

Get the programming tool by following the instructions I've provided.
Install the device programming tool following the on screen instructions.
Assuming you have selected the default Start menu position for the tool, select 'Start, Programs, Xilinx WebPACK, Device Programming'.
The Xilinx JTAG Programmer will now start to run.
Select 'Edit, Add Device'
In the browser you need to navigate to the .jed file you downloaded from my web site. Open the file.
Now select 'Output, Cable Setup'
Make sure there is a 'straight through' printer cable connected between your DJ device and your PC. Select 'Parallel' in the dialog box and chose the printer port you connected to. Apply the settings.
Turn the power on to the DJ device.
Select 'Operations, Get Device ID'. If everything works you should get some dialog boxes telling you about the logic chip used in the project - a Xilinx XC9536.
If you get error messages then something has gone wrong. Try 'Output, Cable Reset' and try again. If not check your circuit connections.
If it worked go for gold and program the chip. 'Operations, Program' does that - but make sure you select 'Erase before program' in the dialog that appears before proceeding.
If the test LED light was on it should now go out. When the chip is programmed the light should definately come on. The software will bring up some information telling you about how it all went. Hopefully there were no problems as you managed to get the ID info.
Close the software
Try it out!
