Xilinx Virtual Cable server written in python connecting Xilinx with different JTAG adapters

Short description

Xvcd Server is a program which interfaces Xilinx with JTAG adapters using the Xilinx Virtual Cable. This is achieved by starting a TCP server listening for xvc commands which are sent out to a jtag adapter.

Usage

Start xvcd_server.py

Where is one of the adapters under the adapters folder. Either ft2232h, ft4232h, ft232h, papilio_one or xula. xula still uses the old GPIO method whereas the others use FTDI MPSSE mode.

This server listens to TCP port 2542

In Xilinx iMPACT, Cable Setup choose "Open Cable Plug-in" and enter

"xilinx_xvc host=127.0.0.1:2542 disableversioncheck=true"
