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



Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description:

The EZTag software is not capable of generating a single svf file for multiple devices 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/2.1i JTAG Programmer software will solve this problem.
