6.3TeraTerm blast extensions

As an alternative to the jtag executable, Boundary Devices has also pro- duced an extension to the TeraTerm open-source terminal emulator with support for the Blast￿R protocol.

It has the following benefits over the use of jtag:

Does not require Cygwin and ioperm

Because it’s a Windows￿R graphical application, it’s a bit simpler to use and has a file-chooser dialog.

The drawback is that it does not support the jtag hardware connection or any of the associated features (can’t force a hardware reset, can’t recover a machine with a trashed flash).

We recommend its use only for non-development needs, or when cabling the jtag is inconvenient (e.g. during production).

It can be downloaded here.
