Virtex 2000T Supported by JTAG HS3?

[LariSan]

Hello, I have a question from a customer on our website and could use assistance.

 

 I have a few questions regarding the JTAG programmer cables that you have in stock. My research group is using the JTAG-HS3 programmer cable to program our Xilinx Virtex-7 690T FPGA (XC7V690T). Using the Adept software, we were able to program the FPGA. However, when we tried to use the same software to program the Xilinx Virtex-7 2000T FPGA (XC7V2000T), while the Adept software could recognize the JTAG-HS3 device, it could not identify the 2000T FPGA, listing it as UNKNOWN. Is the 2000T FPGA supported by your Adept software? If not, is there any software that you have that supports the Virtex-7 2000T FPGA that works with the JTAG-HS3 programming device to program an FPGA?

Hi,

I personally don't know if it supports that particular board, but I've asked some of our applications engineers who will get back to you here on the forum.

Thanks,

Hi Larissa,

Based on my research on the Xilinx site, the Virtex -7 family is supported by Xilinx iMPACT. The Digilent JTAG-HS3 programmer is compatible with Xilinx iMPACT according to their documentation. So based on that Xilinx iMPACT should work. According to this forum post, you can submit a request to download iMPACT here.

So far, the software I am using to program the Xilinx XC7VT2000T FPGA with the JTAG HS3 programmer is Adept. Is iMPACT another alternative to programming an FPGA similar to Adept? Is it available in linux through the command line interface?

Hi Jsyschan,

According to this tutorial, it appears as though you can. Hope that helps!
