System shall response with BASIC xy and OK promt
- S1 push button Reset
Prototype circuit with Keyboard can be powered by Tang USB-C connector from PC or a Power Supply Adapter.
Source code can be synthesized, fitted and programmed with GOWIN IDE Windows or Linux.
see pin configuration in .cst configuration file
- PS/2 keyboard has to be connected to 3.3V tolerant FPGA via level shifter to avoid damage of inputs ! Use e.g. 2 pcs SN74LVC1G17DBVR 5V to 3V3 level shifter. My Keyboard has internal pull-up resistors to 5V for Clock and Data Signals so didn't needed external ones.
- Tang Nano 5V output connected to Keyboard supply. Tang 3V3 output to level shifter supply.
