`program-xc9500`¶

CLI reference¶

glasgow run program-xc9500¶

Program, verify, and read out Xilinx XC9500 series CPLD bitstreams via the JTAG interface.

It is recommended to use TCK frequency between 100 and 250 kHz for programming.

Some CPLDs in the wild have been observed to return failures during programming, possibly because they are taken from the rejects bin or recycled, see [1]. The “program word failed” messages during programming do not necessarily mean a failed device; if the bitstream verifies afterwards, it is likely to operate correctly.

Supported devices are:

XC9536
XC9572
XC95108
XC95144

-h, --help¶: show this help message and exit

-V <spec>, --voltage <spec>¶: configure I/O port voltage to SPEC (e.g.: ‘3.3’, ‘A=5.0,B=3.3’, ‘A=SA’)

--tck <pin>¶: bind the applet I/O line ‘tck’ to PIN (default: ‘A0’, optional)

--tms <pin>¶: bind the applet I/O line ‘tms’ to PIN (default: ‘A1’, optional)

--tdi <pin>¶: bind the applet I/O line ‘tdi’ to PIN (default: ‘A2’, optional)

--tdo <pin>¶: bind the applet I/O line ‘tdo’ to PIN (default: ‘A3’, optional)

--trst <pin>¶: bind the applet I/O line ‘trst’ to PIN (optional)

-f <freq>, --frequency <freq>¶: set TCK frequency to FREQ kHz (default: 100)

--scan-ir-max-length <length>¶: give up scanning IRs longer than LENGTH bits (default: 128)

--scan-dr-max-length <length>¶: give up scanning DRs longer than LENGTH bits (default: 1024)

--ir-lengths <ir-length,...>¶: set IR lengths of each TAP to corresponding IR-LENGTH (default: autodetect)

--tap-index <index>¶: select TAP #INDEX for communication (default: select only TAP)

--slow¶: use slower but potentially more robust algorithms, where applicable
