Note: This feature is currently unsupported. You can view
multi-cable or multi-device setups in the target
connection view. However, you can use the command line
to establish connections with multiple cables or devices and debug using XSDB
commands.
This feature of the AMD Vitis™ environment allows you to run and debug application projects, program the bitstream/PDI, and program the flash using multiple JTAG cables or multiple devices on a single JTAG chain. The main use cases are as follows:
- Multi-cable
- In this use case, assume you have more than one board connected to the
system and you want to work on all of the boards. The following is a
multi-cable target connection view. Regarding target connection, please
refer to Target Connections
- Multi-device
- In this use case, assume you have multiple devices in a JTAG chain and you want to work on all of the devices. The following is a multi-device target connection view. Regarding target connection, please refer to Target Connections

Debugging an application with multi-cable or multi-device
- Navigate to the debug launch configuration file (refer to Launch Configurations for details).
- Click Select beside the
Device field.Figure 2. launch.json tab
- Deselect Auto Detect
Figure 3. Select PL & PS Device Screen
- Select the PS and PL device in this dialog according to your requirement.
- Click Select and Start to start debugging.
Programming a Device Using a Multi-Device/Multi-Cable Setup
- Go to →
- To select a device from the multiple cable or multiple device setup, click the Select button to the right of the Device field to open the device selection dialog box.
- Choose the appropriate device or cable from the drop down menu
and click Program to program the FPGA/PDI file.Note: If the device status is Auto Detect, the Vitis tool automatically picks up the first device or cable from the list.Note: Use the same method to choose the PS and PL device when programming a flash.
