bitstream and programming the FLASH. This port can be used as a debug port using
JTAG and ChipScope, but cannot be used as a standard USB device port.
The other USB port (labeled USB UART) is a USB-to-UART bridge that can be used as a
serial communication channel.
(see below). The other expansion port provides 8 I/Os configured as two rows of VCC,
GND and 4 I/Os. This port has gained an ecosystem following and a number of small
daughter cards called Peripheral Modules (PMods) can be found at:

consortium of companies ranging from FPGA vendors to end users to provide a standard
mezzanine card form factor, connectors and modular interface to an FPGA located on a
base board, also called a carrier card. Decoupling the I/O interfaces from the FPGA in
this manner simplifies the design of the I/O interfacing modules while maximizing carrier
card reuse.
