Hello, I have one general question concerning the FPGA supported configuration mode. I am using Xilinx ISE iMpact to program Spartan-3. I use the JTAG Cable-IV to download the bitstream to the Spartan-3. Meanwhile I set up the configuration jumper on board to JTAG mode (i.e. M0,M1,M2=0,1,0). That works fine. But if I set up the jumper to MASTER-SERIAL (i.e. M0,M1,M2=1,1,1) mode, I can sti...

Hello! Is there any hardware documentation to RISCWatch of PPC405 in Xilinx devices? I look for waveforms describe the signals of the interface. Is there any JTAG vendor specific commands used to debug the processor? Thanks!!! krzysiek

I am starting a new design using V4FX parts. I have only one JTAG connection so far. Is it possible to simultaneously run the debugger and a chipscope session so I can debug problems between the micro and the fpga fabric? If not, do I need a second JTAG and how do I wire it? Thanks, Clark

Hi, I've a question regarding in-system programming of prom devices using the JTAG (ieee 1532) protocol. I implemented a programming algorithm based on the JTAG TAP controller state diagram (i.e. shown in xilinx app. note XAPP503). The implemented command sequences (i.e. for erase, program, read-prom, etc.) are taken from SVF files generated by the XILINX Impact tool and the corresponding BS...

Hi all, We have to do a FPGA-to-ASIC conversion with JTAG chain insertion. The design was tested on spartan-II and was converted to ATMEL MG2 successfully via Leonardo Spectrum (functional test and sdf timing). Now we have to use MENTOR DFT Suite for the JTAG insertion and test coverage. The documentation from MENTOR is very complet, and/or maybe a bit too complet. My question...

Does anyone know where to find the XC9500 Jtag programming instructions? I have one for the XCR3000 (cool runner) and looking for the equivalence for XC9500 The XCR3000 jtag spec has detail info down to the TMS/TDI/TDO level. I am sure there is one for XC9500 somewhere. I can't even find the XCR3000 on xilinx's web anymore.

I have a Spartan-3A DSP 1800A development board which comes with no cable. I understand that Xilinx makes a cable for $150 that works with iMPACT. There is also a 6 pin JTAG conntector on the board. I already know that the Digilent JTAG-USB cable will NOT work with either iMPACT nor Adept. Communication with Digilent indicates that they may support this FPGA in the future, but it is cu...

Hi I have a board with Spartan-3e with SPI-interface. i am using the JTAG interface to program the SPI-flash. all JTAG connections are correct. when i connect chip-scope it is not detecting any device in the JTAG chain. tried using iMPACT tool also, there also i am not able to detect the FPGA in the chain. am using Parallel cable III. and the cable is OK as we are using the same cable ...

Hello all, I use Xilinx Foundation 1.5 and VHDL for a SPARTAN XCS-10 . I have to use the JTAG-Pins as I/O-pins (TDI, TCK, TMS = I/O, TDO=O). How to do? The data-sheet give me not enough information... Thanks Frank smartie@snafu.de

I am trying to program my FPGA board without a Xilinx Parallel Cable. I would like to able to program the FPGA using the Serial Cable and Serial Port (DB9). Also I am not sure if I understand JTAG correctly, but is there a way to implement the JTAG interface on serial cable, the way the Xilinx XChecker Cable does. Isnt JTAG simply a translationof voltage logic levels. I was not able ...

I want to write data to a register in the FPGA via jtag. I use the BSCAN_VIRTEX4 and write a tcl to write the data. But it did not work. This is the first time that I use the tcl and jtag. I don't know why? The promblem is the tcl part or the verilog part? The following is my code, I want to write data to the "mux_reg". module jtag( output wire o_tdo); reg[2:0] ...

Hi everyone! I'm new to the group and quite a beginner in FPGA business. I have this very general question on BSDL files and JTAG - is there any possibility to include any internal signal (not connected directly to the output pin) in the scan register? Chris

Hello All, Does anyone know if there is a cheaper alternative to the Xilinx USB JTAG programmer. ? The price of $300 from avnet is rather expensive in my opinion (and for my budget..). I've been using xilinx cable IV, but it's not really working as reliable or fast as one could wish for. Another problem is that my laptop doesn't have a parallel port which is very annoying. Than...

Dear All, We are planning to design a board with four FPGAs to emulate X86 CPU. The FPGA=92s JTAG ports are serially chained together. My problem is that whether the Xilinx=92s ChipScope can support debugging multiple FPGAs via a single JTAG chain at the same time? So we can set different trigger conditions to different FPGA chips at the same time and watch the sampled data from ChipScope....

I am trying to achieve something that probably thousand have done before me. I want to program a sram module that is attached to my fpga (xc2s300). I have a parallal cable programmer that is compatible with imPact. Now i am wondering what do you use (software/hardware) to program ram by jtag. There must be an easy way !? Michel Bieleveld.

Hi, I read a lot of stuffs on JTAG and SVF file, but I still can't figure out how to read back multiple memory spaces or multiple registers via JTAG. I used BSCAN_SPARTAN3 and USER1 Register, but that only allows you to read back one register. I need to read back at least 10 registers or memory spaces via JTAG. Is it possible to do this at all? Thanks, AL
