JTAGWhisperer: CPLD and FPGA programing with Arduino

in firmware by DP | 2 comments

JTAGWhisperer turns an Arduino into an JTAG programmer for CPLDs and FPGAs. It uses the same Xilinx XAPP58 [PDF] XSVF programmer we ported to the Bus Pirate. Mike has successfully programed a XC9572XL CPLD breakout board, but it should work with many JTAG targets. Python and pyserial are required.

CoolRunner-II and XC9572XL CPLD breakouts are available for $15.
