JTAG library for FT232H on Pikes Peak / Storey Peak FPGA Boards - on Windows

This driver allows using the on-board FT232 chip as a JTAG interface in Quartus for the Pikes Peak and Storey Peak FPGA accelerator boards.

This is a Windows specific driver, which is based on this driver, which can build under Windows but isn't Windows native (it's a hassle to setup the toolchain).

Installation

Install pre-reqs: install the latest version of MS Visual Studio Community Edition (tested up to VS 2022).

Build: open the solution file and build everything.

To install, copy jtag_hw_ft323h_lib.dll to your quartus bin64 directory (eg. C:/intelFPGA/22.1std/quartus/bin64).

Initialization

Before using this driver, change the USB drivers from FTDI to WinUSB. This is easily done using the Zadig tool.

Then run OpenOCD to initialize the FT232H:

openocd \
    -f interface/ftdi/um232h.cfg \
    -c "adapter speed 2000; transport select jtag; jtag newtap auto0 tap -irlen 10 -expected-id 0x029070dd; init; exit;"

To initialize the interface at different clock speeds, change the adapter_khz parameter.

OpenOCD prebuilt binaries can be downloaded from https://github.com/xpack-dev-tools/openocd-xpack/releases.

Current state

JTAG scan chain and programming of the FPGA works
Initialization of the MPSSE is not implemented --> run OpenOCD once to init the device
