The embedded USB-Blaster II in the MAX II CPLD EPM570GT100C3N normally
masters the JTAG chain.
Figure 2–3
illustrates the JTAG chain.
The JTAG chain control DIP switch (SW3) controls the device connection. To connect a
device or interface in the chain, their corresponding switch must be in the OFF
position. Slide all the switches to the ON position to only have the FPGA and MAX V
CPLD 5M2210 System Controller in the chain.
A Cypress EZ-USB CY7C68013A device in a 56-pin VBGA package device is used to
interface to a single type-B mini-USB connector. This device has an on-board 8051
CPU used in conjunction with embedded MAC logic to translate USB data into other
formats for use by the FPGA. This CPU uses internal RAM and a small external serial
boot ROM.
