• Bit2Asm.exe. This stand alone executable formats a bit file into a Texas
instrument’s asm file. Then you can embed it in your application’s object file at
linking time. As a result, the FPGA bitstream is downloaded with the
application into the DSP module’s memory which provides a faster FPGA
configuration process than the standard way. See
TIM CONFIG.
• You can find detailed information about the DSP software routines in:

JTAG/Boundary Scan
JTAG Programmer (iMPACT)
The JTAG Programmer software is a standard feature of the Alliance Series ™ and
Foundation Series ™ software packages. JTAG Programmer is a part of Web Pack,
which can be downloaded from the following site:
Xilinx JTAG programmer
ƒ Configuring with the parallel cable III or IV
The JTAG chain is composed of the CPLD and the FPGA.
The CPLD is pre-programmed by Sundance.
Do NOT try to reprogram the CPLD without SUNDANCE approval
Figure 6: JTAG Chain on the SMT398
When accessing the board using JTAG, the CPLD can be bypassed and you can
configure the FPGA only.
