XC9500: How to create a single SVF file from multiple SVF files for
devices in a single chain?



Problem Description:
Keywords: xc9500, svf, single, mulitple, eztag, jtag programmer

Urgency: Standard

General Description:

The EZTag software is not capable of generating a single svf file for multiple d
evices in the
chain. It creates a different SVF file for each device in the chain.


Solution 1:

To get around this limitation, concatenate all the svf files in to one file and
name it
something else with a .svf extension.

Note: The SVF files created using this flow will not work with the HP3070 tester
. Refer to
http://www.xilinx.com/techdocs/3255.htm for the HP flow.



Solution 2:

Upgrading to the M1.x JTAG Programmer software will solve this problem.
