the flash before writing data to it. 

 

The Control Panel provides users a USB monitoring tool which monitors the real-time status of a 

USB mouse connected to the DE2-70 board. The movement of the mouse and the status of the three 

buttons will be shown in the graphical and text interface. The mouse movement is translated as a 

position (x,y) with range from (0,0)~(1023,767). This function can be used to verify the 

functionality of the USB Host.

1.  Choosing the USB tab leads to the window in Figure 3.8. 

2.  Plug an USB mouse to the USB HOST port on the DE2-70 board.   

3.  Press the Start button to start the USB mouse monitoring process, and button caption is 

changed from Start to Stop. In the monitoring process, the status of the USB mouse is 

updated and shown in the Control Panel’s GUI window in real-time. Press Stop to 

terminate the monitoring process.
