JTAG Programmer
allows you to decide how you want to probe after you have down-
loaded your design.
The MultiLINX cable is compatible in supporting Readback & Verify
for all the FPGAs supported by the XChecker cable. Plus, the Multi-
LINX cable supports the XC4000E/XL, Spartan/XL, and Virtex
devices whose bit file size is more than 256K bits.
Note: Debug is not currently available with the MultiLINX cable.
You can use JTAG programmer to download, read back, and verify
design configuration data and to perform functional tests on any
FPGA or CPLD device. You can also use it to probe internal logic
states of a CPLD design.
JTAG Programmer uses sequences of JTAG instructions to perform
programming and verification operations.
You need to provide JEDEC files for each XC95000 device, BIT files
for each Xilinx FPGA device in the JTAG programming chain, and
BSDL files for the remaining devices.
JTAG Programmer supports the following Xilinx device families:
XC4000E/L/EX/XL/XV/XLA, XC5200, XC95000/XL/XV, Spartan/
XL, and Virtex.
There are two download cables available for use with the JTAG
Programmer. The first is an RS232 serial cable known as the XChecker
Cable. The second is the Parallel Download Cable which can be
connected to a PC’s parallel printer port.
There are a few advantages to be considered in selecting a cable:
•
•
•
Refer to the JTAG Programmer Guide in the online book collection for
complete information on the JTAG Programmer.
The XChecker Cable connects to the serial port of PCs.
The Parallel Cable has better drive capability. The Parallel Cable
can drive up to 10 XC9500 devices in a boundary-scan chain, and
the XChecker Cable can drive up to 4 XC9500 devices.
The Parallel Cable is at least 5 times faster.
