12 Firmware Upgrades

Much of the SMT300Q’s control interface is achieved using EPLDs. Sometime
customers require slightly different interface protocols, which can be catered for by a
firmware upgrade. To upgrade firmware Xilinx JTAG programming software is
required together with a lead to connect to the SMT300Q’s header. The image below
shows the location of pin 1 of the JTAG connector J21. This connector is a 2x3 2mm
pin header.
