I recently have bought 3 of these cables to enable the JTAG programming for a graduate project at BYU. 3 It works for me after I fix the heat shrink.

The only restriction has to do with no flexible ribbon cable to connect to FPGA board. No issues programming Zunq FPGA or debugging my ‘C’ code in SDK. Applied all the fixes that were recommended and still not recognized by Xilinx SDK. Posted by Digilent Customer on 17th Jun 2020ĭoesn't work with Windows 10. Used with Vivado 19.2 Hardware manager and Vitis IDE SystemDebugger Launched On Hardware, works as expected :-) Posted by Paul Brinkerhoff on 29th Apr 2021 The Digilent support rep sent me an exe file to restore the HS3 but that did not work either. I had saved the previous contents and tried to restore it but Vivado would not recognize it. Recently I was using FT_PROG and I accidentally erased the eprom on the HS3 that configures the FTDI chip on the module. I consider debug cables to be consumables so I like to have several laying around. The Digilent JTAG-HS3 works as well or better than the more expensive USB debug cable from Xilinx. Worked great for the project we completed Note: This cable is not needed for Digilent FPGA boards as our boards are designed with integrated programming circuitry. * This is a unique programming header and is not compatible with the 1圆 MTE Digilent JTAG Connector.

The HS3 is small and light, allowing it to be held firmly in place by the system board connector. The JTAG bus can be shared with other devices as the HS3's signals are held in high-impedance, except when actively driven during programming. When connected to a PC via a standard A to micro-USB cable, the JTAG HS3 receives its power from USB and can be recognized as a Digilent programming cable, even if the HS3 is not attached to the target board. It can be attached to target boards using Xilinx's 2x7 connector*, and is compatible with all Xilinx tools, including iMPACT™, ChipScope™, and EDK. The HS3 builds on the successful JTAG-HS1 by adding an open-drain buffer to pin 14 allowing for the debugging of Xilinx Zynq-SOC processors. The JTAG-HS3 is an affordable high-speed Xilinx ® FPGA programming solution.
