 +====== Connecting the Kintex to the computer ======
 +Is possible to communicate with the Kintex FPGA using a ethernet connector.
 +The ethernet connector has to be plugged directly in the computer ethernet bus, without using an external hub.
 +By default the board address is 192.168.10.16.
 +To be able to communicate create a network with the following settings:
 +
 +   IP Address: 192.168.10.10
 +   Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
 +   Gateway: 0.0.0.0
 +In UBUNTU you have to define this network in the file
 +    /etc/network/interfaces
 +And you can add it (if it is not already there) as
 +   # The primary network interface
 +   auto eth0
 +   iface eth0 inet static
 +      address 192.168.10.10
 +      netmask 255.255.255.0
 +      gateway 0.0.0.0
 +After that use the command
 +    ifdown eth0; ifup eth0
 +And check if the board is there:
 +    ping 192.168.10.16
 +
 +   
 +====== Kintex firmware installation ======
 +Get the right firmware here **[[https://gitlab.cern.ch/silab/bdaq53/tags | tag]]**
 +If not already installed, install the **[[https://www.xilinx.com/products/design-tools/vivado.html | VIVADO ]]**software then:
 +
 +  * Connect the KC705 with the computer through JTAG connector.
 +  * Open Vivado and Go Open Hardware Manager-> Open Target-> Auto connect
 +  * now the KC705 should appear if it is properly connected.
 +  * Right click on the card and go to add configuration memory and follow the steps indicated in the **[[ https://gitlab.cern.ch/silab/bdaq53/wikis/Hardware/fpga-configuration | bdaq53 twiki]]** to program using flash memory (I recommend this method because even if you turn off the FPGA permanently programmed) .
