Configuring with MultiLINX
The Mutilinx cable can be used to configure the FPGA via JTAG.
See board header pinout in Table 9: JTAG.
The MultiLINX cable set is a peripheral hardware product from Xilinx.
For additional information on the MultiLINX cable set, go to the following site:
Xilinx MultiLINX cable
Using MultiLINX /Parallel cable III or IV
The JTAG header is provided to enable device programming via suitable software.
Typically, this will be Xilinx iMPACT.
Xilinx iMPACT supports both the Xilinx MultiLINX™ and Parallel Cable III download
cables for communication between the PC and FPGA(s). The MultiLINX cable
supports both USB (Windows 98 and Windows 2000) and RS-232 serial
communication from the PC. The Parallel Cable III supports only parallel port
communication from the PC to the Boundary Scan chain.
The JTAG header on the board was designed to mate directly with the 2mm
ribbon cable provided with the MultiLINX Cable IV. BE SURE TO ATTACH
THE RIBBON CABLE WITH THE ALIGNMENT PIN FACING AWAY FROM
THE BOARD!
