JTAG Chain
Four devices (the System ACE chip and three XC5VLX50T-FFG1136 FPGAs) are connected via a JTAG chain on the Virtex-5 FPGA ML561 Development Board. The order of the four devices in the JTAG chain is System ACE chip (U45), FPGA #1 (U7), FPGA #2 (U5), and FPGA #3 (U34). The DONE pin of the FPGAs in the chain are tied together to a single LED (D28). Each FPGA in the JTAG chain must be programmed for the board to be configured properly. To program FPGAs in the JTAG chain that do not need functionality, a blank design with no logic implementation can be used to compile to generate the corresponding configuration bitstream.
Three different sources can be used to drive this JTAG chain:
•JTAG Port
•Xilinx Parallel IV Cable
•System ACE Controller
JTAG Port
The Virtex-5 FPGA ML561 Development Board provides a JTAG connector (P114) that can be used to program the Virtex-5 FPGAs, and program and/or configure other JTAG devices in the chain.
Parallel IV Cable Port
The Virtex-5 FPGA ML561 Development Board provides a Parallel IV Cable connector (P64) to configure the Virtex-5 FPGAs and program JTAG devices located in the JTAG chain.
System ACE Interface
The Virtex-5 FPGA ML561 Development Board provides a System ACE interface to configure the Virtex-5 FPGA. The interface also gives software designers the ability to run code (for soft processor IP within the FPGA) from removable CompactFlash cards.
Refer to the DS080, System ACE CompactFlash Solution for detailed information on creating System ACE compatible ACE files, formatting the CompactFlash card, and storing multiple design images.
