The following procedure describes how to set up the hardware required to run JTAG hardware co-simulation on a KC705 board.

For detailed information about the KC705 board, see the KC705 Evaluation Board for the Kintex-7 FPGA User Guide (UG810).

Assemble the Required Hardware

  1. Xilinx Kintex-7 KC705 board which includes the following:
    1. Kintex-7 KC705 board
    2. 12V Power Supply bundled with the KC705 kit
    3. Micro USB-JTAG cable

Set Up the KC705 Board

The figure below illustrates the KC705 components of interest in this JTAG setup procedure:
