The Xilinx platform cable USB II Development Kit is more than just a simple USB cable. It provides integrated firmware (hardware and software) to deliver high-performance, reliable, and easy to perform configuration of Xilinx devices. It attaches to user hardware for configuring Xilinx FPGAs, programming Xilinx PROMs and CPLDs, and directly programming third-party SPI flash devices. Also, the cable provides a means of indirectly programming platform flash XL, third party SPI flash memory devices, and third-party parallel NOR flash memory devices via the FPGA JTAG port.
Features and Benefits
• High-performance FPGA and PROM programming and configuration • Includes innovative FPGA-based acceleration firmware encapsulated in a small form factor pod attached to the cable • Leverages high-speed slave-serial mode programming interface • Fully integrated and optimized for use with Xilinx iMPACT software • Intuitive multiple cable management from a single application • Easy to use • Intuitive multiple cable management from a single application • Automatically senses and adapts to target I/O voltage • Interfaces to devices operating at 5V (TTL), 3.3V (LVCMOS), 2.5V, 1.8V and 1.5V • Intuitive flyleads-to-cable interface labelling
