12 Firmware Upgrades

Much of the SMT310’s control interface is achieved using CPLD’s. Sometime
customers require slightly different interface protocols (i.e. SDB interface), 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 SMT310’s
header. The image below shows the location of pin 1 of the JTAG connector J21.
This connector is a 2x3 2mm pin header.
