JTAG - How to attach a pullup or pulldown resistor on the 4K TDO pin?  
 
 
Problem Description: 
General Description: 
How to access the pullup or pulldown in the TDO IOB in a XC4000 
series device if the TDO pin is being used as an output or OBUFT? 
 
 
 
 
Solution 1: 
 
It is possible to attach the pullup or pulldown to the TDO pin 
using MAKEBITS in the XACT 5.x, 6.x software. 
 
Run makebits with the following option: 
 
makebits -f TdoPin: Pullup | Pulldown <lca file> 
 
Note: It is not possible to access this feature via XDE. You can 
only see the TDO component, however not edit it. 
 
 
 
 
Solution 2: 
 
It is possible to attach the pullup or pulldown to the TDO pin 
using BITGEN in the M1 software. 
 
Run bitgen with the following option: 
 
bitgen -g TdoPin:Pullnone | Pullup | Pulldown <infile[.ncd]> 
[<outfile>] [<pcffile[.pcf]>] 
 
Note: It is not possible to access this feature via EPIC. You can 
only see the TDO component, however not edit it.
