Modifying Xilinx ML605 for Direct JTAG Access

Using ML605 without USB-JTAG Bridge
While the board is modified for use via a JTAG connector, the USB-JTAG bridge is not functional. This is not
a problem for TRACE32 because it uses the JTAG connector.
For using the Xilinx tools (iMPACT, ChipScope, ...) you can either use a Xilinx Platform Cable connecting to
JTAG (e.g. Xilinx Platform Cable USB) or alternatively use the TRACE32 debug interface as backend for the
Xilinx tools. The latter avoids constantly swapping the cable at the JTAG port when switching between
debugging and configuration.
For doing
JTAG accesses with the Xilinx platform cable
, you can use the adaptor “JTAG Converter to
Xilinx Target Adapter 14” (LA-3731) which is included with TRACE32 for MicroBlaze, the adaptor “JTAG to
Xilinx ML605”, and a 16-wire ribbon cable as shown in the image below.
For information on setting up the Xilinx tools for using the TRACE32 debug interface for JTAG access,
please refer to the application note “Using TRACE32 as backend for Xilinx tools”.
