# ixo-usb-jtag - Altera Bus Blaster emulation using Cypress FX2 chip

## General information

The code in this directory is for Cypress FX2 (e.g. CY7C68013A) and can be
compiled with the SDCC compiler (I tried version 2.6 as shipped with Ubuntu
6.10). Once I had a version that could be compiled with Keil tools (until early
2007), but switched to SDCC because I usually develop on a Linux host.

No logic beside the FX2 itself and only a few external components are required
for a basic JTAG adapter. I don't have detailed schematics available; my test
setup consists of a FX2 on a custom board where it's directly connected to a
Cyclone FPGA.

Similar boards are available from fpga4fun.com - the boards named "Saxo-L" and
"Xylo-EM" are pre-wired for use with an adapted version of my code, while
"Saxo" and "Xylo" can be used after soldering 4 extra wires:

There's a discussion thread in the fpga4fun forum about this firmware:

    http://www.fpga4fun.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=483


## Digilent JTAG-USB cable

This cable is supported through the usbjtag-dj_usb.hex firmware. the TDO line
is level-shifted through a single transistor, which results in the TDO signal
being inverted as it enters the FX2. The firmware takes care of the inversion
and returns the correct data.

Note that this only applies to the JTAG-USB cable, and not the JTAG-HS series.
The JTAG-HS is based on FTDI chips, not the Cypress FX2.


## Digilent Nexys 1 / 2 or Atlys Boards

Through a contribution by Sune Mai, this code can be used with the Digilent
Nexys / Nexys2 and Atlys boards.

    http://www.digilentinc.com/nexys/
    http://www.digilentinc.com/nexys2/
    http://www.digilentinc.com/atlys/

The hardware-specific code file is hw_nexys.c. Use the usbjtag-nexys.hex
firmware file.

Also, you may use the "nexys2prog" script by Andy Ross, available from the
same place this code is available from:

    http://ixo-jtag.sourceforge.net/


## Numato Opsis Boards

There is code to support running on the Opsis board from Numato.

    http://numato.com/numato-opsis-fpga-based-open-video-platform/

The hardware-specific code file is hw_opsis.c. Use the usbjtag-opsis.hex
firmware file.

More information about how the FX2 is configured on the Opsis board can be
found at https://opsis.hdmi2usb.tv/features/usb-peripheral.html


## Xilinx JTAG cable

There is code to support running in the "Xilinx Platform Cable USB". A firmware
for the XPCU will be built. I've tested this only with unmodified CPLD version
18 (0x12) on a Spartan-3E starter kit, as it was programmed by my WebPack 8.2i.
The code needs optimization; yet it is merely a proof of concept.

 * hw_xpcu_i: Access "internal" chain (the XPCU CPLD, IC3, itself)
 * hw_xpcu_x: Access "external" chain (the Spartan 3E, PROM, etc.)

## Adapting the code to your hardware

As is, the code assumes the following pin assignment:

 * Port C.0: TDI
 * Port C.1: TDO
 * Port C.2: TCK
 * Port C.3: TMS

Other assignments are possible. If you have your signals connected to
bit-addressable I/O pins (port A,B,C or D), I suggest you make a copy of
hw_basic.c and adapt the definitions and ProgIO_Init() in it to your needs.
The file hw_saxo_l is even simpler to adapt if you want only JTAG and no AS/PS
mode.  If your signals are not on bit-addressable I/Os (that is, you're using
port E), you could base your adaptation on the slower hw_xpcu_i.c.

The USB identification data (vendor/product ID, strings, ...) can be modified
in dscr.a51. The firmware emulates the 128 byte EEPROM that usually holds
configuration data for the FT245 and which can be read from the host; its
content (including checksum) is computed from the data in dscr.a51 as well.  

The WAKEUP pin should be high for the re-numeration to work reliably (thanks
Jean/fpga4fun!).
