Re: reconfiguration VirtexE via JTAG (full or partial)

Aug 04, 2003 3 Replies

Does it mean that figure 6. in xapp139 (Device configuration flow diagramm) has error? The "Reconfigure path" trough "Shundown sequence" is available or not?



under "shutdown sequence" i mean the process described on p14 XAPP139



[ from XAPP139
  1. Load the CFG_IN instruction into the JTAG instruction register. Next, go to the SHIFT-DR .... COR (Configuration Option Register) with the SHUTDOWN bit = 1 .... ]

the described process does not need access to PROG

Thanks. Sergey.


I am sorry for my verbosity. Let me explain. I did find "TAP debug" dialog in iMPACT. But it is extremely dificult and time-consuming to enter commands bit-by-bit. Is there a way to perform the comands in batch mode or place them into bitstream file? In my prev. message i ask about tools doing this.

get JAM player, write some JAM functions and talk to the JTAG port anyway you wish.

you can as example use BSCANVIRTEX and connect it to ICAP and reconfig or use use normal JTAG config commands or send commands to your custom JTAG functions/register (USER1, USER2 commands)

Sergey,

The JSHUTDOWN command will do just fine. If your design has dll and/or ram, you may want to make sure you reset them.

You can automate the shutdown sequence with the XSVF player. Generate an SVF file with iMPACT or by hand, then convert the SVF fiel to XSVF file and play the XSVF file with XSVF.

Please take a look at XAPP058 for the XSVF player and converter and XAPP503 for detailed format on SVF.

Regards, Wei
