Use a iMX based SOM to configure Xilinx FPGA

[Maher]

Hi,

I plan to use JTAG-SMT2 on my FPGA board. My question is can I use an IMX SOM (ARM QUAD A9) to configure the FPGA via the JTAG-SMT2?

I know that I can use the Xilinx programmer to configure the FPGA via the JTAG-SMT2. I need to use the SOM for field upgrades.

 

Thank you,

Maher

Hi @Maher,

None of us here at Digilent have used an SOM to program an FPGA through a JTAG-SMT2. Depending on what FPGA you are using, you may be able to use Digilent's Adept 2 software to program the FPGA, though Adept 2 does not have built-in support for every FPGA, such as the Xilinx Ultrascale and Ultrascale+ parts. I would recommend contacting the manufacturer to see if they have a recommendation or an existing setup that you could modify to target the board of your choice.

Thank you,
