-===== How to...  ===== 
  
  
-==== 1. Generate the Project ==== 
  
->1.1) Download the repository linked in the download section and place it in the location of your choosing.  
  
->1.2) Generate the **GPIO** project in the Projects folder by following this guide before continuing: [[vivado:github|How to Generate a Project from Digilent's Github]] 
  
-==== 2. Build the Project ==== 
  
->2.1) Click **Generate Bitstream** on the left hand menu towards the bottom. Vivado will run through both Run Synthesis and Run Implementation before it generates the bitstream automatically.  
-> 
->Note: If you want, you can click each step by itself in the order of **Run Synthesis**, **Run Implementation** and then **Generate Bitstream**.

-==== 3. Program the Board ==== 
  
->3.1) Once you have generated your bit file, Click on the hardware manager and connect to your board by choosing the local server option. +===== Download and Launch the Arty GPIO Demo =====

->3.2) Click program to load the project onto your Arty. 
  
-==== 4. Run the Project ====+>1.) Follow the [[:learn:programmable-logic:tutorials:github-demos:start:|Using Digilent Github Demo Projects]] Tutorial. This is an HDL design project, and as such does not support Vivado SDK, select the tutorial options appropriate for a Vivado-only design. When prompted to return...

 +>2.) To see the UART communication channel, open a terminal program on your computer set to 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity bit and 1 stop bit. Choose the COM port that your ARTY is connected to (To determine what COM port your Arty is connected to, open up Device Manager on your machine. Under Ports (COM & LPT) you should see something like 'USB Serial Port (COMX)' where the X is the number of the connected COM port). Then return to the Github Project Tutorial to finish programming and running the demo.
