Chipscope with Microzed USB-JTAG

ghalady over 9 years ago

Was wondering if the PL logic can be debugged using CHipScope and USB JTAG through the USB cable provided with the Kit

Since there is no USB-JTAG circuitry built onto the MicroZed, the answer is no. The simple microUSB cable provided with the kit is only good for UART communications.
An external USB-JTAG cable like the HS1, HS2, or Platform Cable USB give you the JTAG capability for configuration and debug, including ChipScope or Vivado Analyzer.

Hi Girish,

If you are super-deperate to see what is going on and you don't have a JTAG cable then have a look at Cheapscope (http://hamsterworks.co.nz/mediawiki/index.php/CheapScope).

It has none of the features of ChipScope, but I have successfully used it to debug an SDRAM controller on a Spartan 6 connected to a Raspberry Pi.

It might need a bit of work - maybe replace the RS232 interface with with something else.

Having this up and running on the MicroZed, including the terminal program, would be a pretty cool way to troubleshoot designs in situ.
