The thing im most stuck on is connecting the 6 jtag points to the parallel 3? The parallel 3 i have has a 2.54mm DC3-10PIN on the end.I connect the 6 jtag points on the coolrunner via flexi wire to there corresponding points on the paralell 3s 2.54mm DC3-10PIN using this image... ①TCK ②GND ③TDO ④VCC ⑤TMS ⑥NC ⑦NC ⑧NC ⑨TDI ⑩GND and obviously im left with 4 unused pins from the 2.54mm DC3-10PIN It breaks my bloody heart because virtually every other design available from various ebay sellers has just 6 wires or 6 points,so why do i get lumbered with 10 pins! Im positive i have wired the power up correct so im thinking its a noob thing? Am i missing something because Impact only sees the parallel 3 and not the device attached. HELP!!!
Ok perhaps this might make things a little clearer,my parallel 3 programmer has a 2.54mm DC3-10 PIN Male yet the coolrunner boards programming points equal 6? I now figure that i connect the 2 with female flex cable but 10 does not go into 6 so which pins get the 6 points. I did warn you i new!
Thanks Ian that would be really kind of you,i realise what i am asking is way down there in the tedious for most of you lol but i appreciate your patience,its really hard to bridge the gap between complete caveman and competent human,with not even knowing how to attach the parallel 3 programmer to the board etc! Its hard being a beginner of the site also as any outside url is assumed to be spam,im sure you have your reasons but is there no way for me to post my images.
Hi guys,just started a course and have got myself a Coolrunner 2 and seperately i have purchased a "parallel 3" programmer. Ok like i said im a beginner so you have been warned lol! This is a picture of what i have.Obviously theres a coolrunner 2 pictured and a 20 pin but the rest came with the parallel programmer and i have no idea how i am meant to connect it to the necessaery points on the board? What are the female to female flex breadboard cables for? The board has no header pins,just the 6 holes for vcc etc whilst the programmer has 10 pin ribbon. Whats the easiest way i can connect all this together,i feel i must be missing something,maybe that solders to the coolrunners 6 points to make it able to accept the plug? I have no instructions so i really could do with some help if you guys are willing to humour an idiot for a minute!
Sorry,as a new member it states i cannot post pictures so i dont know how i can get help?!,if the mods could host the image i would appreciate it. Its merely ap picture of the parts i received which i then uploaded to imageshack. Again im sorry for my noobnes!
