Bus Blaster JTAG debugger / Re: Bus Blaster V3 TDO stuck at 1 Continued...
Hi joefitz,

I assembled a makeshift cable and tried it out. Everything is working 100%, things are a bit faster than usual but I suppose I will have to get used to that :D

Thank you very much for getting to the bottom of this, it is very much appreciated!

Bus Blaster JTAG debugger / Bus Blaster V3 TDO stuck at 1 Continued...
I finally got some time to look at this issue again.

In order to verify my setup I invested in a Flyswatter.

. Linux 64 bit, 12.04 LTS
. Latest SVN of urjtag
. Make sure usbserial.ko will not load.
. Configured urjtag: ./configure  --without-ftd2xx
. Connected to my target using the Flyswatter all good, chain detected.

Note:
I could not get the urjtag to properly detect my target if I used the official ftd2xx (1.2) library.

Started investigating the Bus Blaster again.

. Compiled some libftdi examples, verified that I could read out the correct chip type on the BB V3
. Created a cable suitable for my target
. Connected all together still get:

> cable ft2232 pid=0x6010 vid=0x403 interface=0
> detect
warning: TDO seems to be stuck at 1

. Installed the SVF file (bbv3.zip) that Will posted in the previous thread, same result.

Questions:
. Is the BB V3 compatible with the V2 ?
. What is the correct bitstream to use for the V3 board ?
. If the BB is JTAGKey or KT-Link compatible why does it have to be detected as a generic ft2232 ?
. When will you create a proper package for BB V3 like the one which exists for V2 ?

Thanks for the links tayken!

[quote author="tayken"]I thought the only difference was board placement but after checking out the schematics, I saw that some connections have changed. There should be a bitstream in the forum that Ian published. I'll have to check it out later as it's getting pretty late here.[/quote]

Thank you very much, I'll wait for Ian's reply to make sure I program the correct bitstream.

[quote author="tayken"]Just to be sure, please load the latest bitstream to the CPLD.[/quote]

I can do that, do you have a link to where I can find the latest bitstream and instructions to do the download please ?

I have a V3 so I guess it has a different bitstream than V2 ?

Bus Blaster JTAG debugger / Bus Blaster V3 TDO stuck at 1
I recently bought a bus blaster v3. My operating system is: Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit.

I have pulled the latest version of urjtag from the SVN configured with: --with-ftd2xx --without-libftdi

The bus blaster is not powering the target, the jumper is open.

If I connect the bus blaster to my machine without any target connected I get this:

Code: [Select]
jtag> cable ft2232 pid=0x6010 vid=0x403 interface=1
Connected to libftd2xx driver.
jtag> detect
IR length: 8
Chain length: 1
Device Id: 00000110111000011100000010010011 (0x06E1C093)
  Manufacturer: Xilinx (0x093)
  Part(0):      xc2c32a-vq44 (0x6E1C)
  Stepping:     0
  Filename:     /usr/local/share/urjtag/xilinx/xc2c32a-vq44/xc2c32a-vq44

I am assuming that channel 1 goes to the CPLD itself and channel 0 is for access to the JTAG header.

Connect the cables to my target and power on target:

Code: [Select]
jtag> cable ft2232 pid=0x6010 vid=0x403 interface=0
Connected to libftd2xx driver.
jtag> detect
warning: TDO seems to be stuck at 1
jtag> detect

Now I get: TDO seems stuck at 1.

The most baffling part is that this works with an Altera byteblaster using urjtag.

Anyone have any suggestions to what I might be doing wrong ?
