For FTDI devices to be recognized as a USB-to-JTAG interface in AMD JTAG software tools such as XSDB or the AMD Vivado™
Hardware Manger the EEPROM on the FTDI device
must be programmed. Programming the FTDI is accomplished by using the
program_ftdi utility included in the Vivado install. Once programmed, the FTDI device is
recognized as a valid programming cable in Vivado.Note: For on-board implementation details
including FTDI connectivity, reference the AMD VCK190 Schematics available in XTP610 on https://www.xilinx.com/products/boards-and-kits/vck190.html. Ensure that FTDI connectivity (including
ADBUS0-7) matches the VCK190 implementation.
Note: The
program_ftdi utility configures
Channel A to be used as a USB-to-JTAG interface. If the device has multiple
channels, such as in the case of FT4232H, these channels are configured to the
default RS232 UART mode. If the default RS232 UART mode is not desirable, it is
possible to use the FT_PROG EEPROM utility provided by FTDI to change the port
configuration for any of the unused channels without impacting the ability to
recognize the FTDI device in AMD JTAG
software tools. The program_ftdi utility supports the following
FTDI devices:
- FT232H
- FT2232H
- FT4232H
The following is the command reference.
