Programming CPLD using xc3sprog and FT232H freeware s/w

[anshumantech]

Hello,

 

Is there anyone here, worked with xc3sprog freeware s/w?

I have made a PCB module using FT232H IC. I want to program my FPGAs like Spartan 3, Spartan6 and CPLD.

I found "xc3sprog" on internet which is freeware and it help me to program my Spartan 3 and Spartan 6 successfully. Now I want to program CPLD XC95108 and FPGA XC3S50AN but this "xc3sprog" failed in this.

Is there any idea or solution for this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @anshumantech,

Normally I would recommend the Digilent Adept software and an associated programmer like the JTAG HS2, but as noted in the JTAG HS2 reference manual, https://reference.digilentinc.com/reference/programmers/jtag-hs2/reference-manual#supported_target_devices, 9500 series CPLDs are not directly supported as per UG908.

I'm not certain why the Spartan 3-AN chip was not able to programmed; the best resource I can point you towards in terms of programming it would be UG332 from Xilinx, https://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/user_guides/ug332.pdf.

Thanks,
