Title: ARM-USB-OCD-H to load bit file to spartan-6 fpga?
Post by: nikhil naik on November 26, 2013, 11:08:43 AM
Can I use ARM-USB-OCD-H to load bit file to spartan-6 fpga?

If not, can I use any of the other Olimex Jtag adapters?

Can anyone please give me the required steps and .cfg file?

Thanks
Nikhil

Hello Nikhil,

Generally, ARM-USB-OCD-H can program EVERYTHING - ARM, MSP430, PIC, FPGA, etc, etc. However, it requires a lot of dedication to write the required software support. Because of that most people use it for programming targets that already have ready-and-tested support (like ARM Cortex, LPC boards, etc...).

We use XILINX FPGA programmers and iMPACT software for the OLIMEX boards that have SPARTAN FPGAs (like MOD-VGA).

Best regards,
Lub/OLIMEX

Well, I have put bits of .cfg file together (I could from internet). Now I am able to read JTAG tap from fpga.
I need commands to halt, load the bit and resume.
The ones mentioned in OpenOCD user guide do not help.

Can someone please help me move forward in this project.

Thanks
Nikhil
