Connect Ethernet Ports Between Units

Use the Ethernet cable provided (P/N T00-0748, 7 feet [2.1 m] cable) to connect port LAN2 (enp38s0) port at the back of the OP5025XG simulator to the Ethernet port #1 at the front of the OP4810-IO.
This link is used to flash the bitstream stored on the OP5025XG in the OP4810-IO FPGA when a model is executed.
