Options
-hardware_name
the JTAG chain. The name can be obtained from command: get_hardware_names.
Description
Retrieves a list of names of the devices on the JTAG chain to which the specified programming hardware is
connected.
The name of the device is in the following format:
device on the circuit board, 0x082000DD is the JTAG ID code for the device, and EP20K200C is the device
name.
Example
# List all available programming hardwares, and select the USBBlaster.
# (Note: this example assumes only one USBBlaster connected.)
puts "Programming Hardwares:"
foreach hardware_name [get_hardware_names] {
puts $hardware_name
if { [string match "USB-Blaster*" $hardware_name] } {
set usbblaster_name $hardware_name
}
}
puts "\nSelect JTAG chain connected to $usbblaster_name.\n";
# List all devices on the chain, and select the first device on the
# chain.
puts "\nDevices on the JTAG chain:"
foreach device_name [get_device_names -hardware_name $usbblaster_name] {
puts $device_name
if { [string match "@1*" $device_name] } {
set test_device $device_name
}
}
puts "\nSelect device: $test_device.\n";
# Open device

# Retrieve device id code.
# IDCODE instruction value is 6; The ID code is 32 bits long.
# IR and DR shift should be locked together to ensure that other

# will not change the instruction register before the id code value is
# shifted
# out while the instruction register is still holding the IDCODE
# instruction.
