xc2c64a eval board CPLD and JTAG3

[S.P]

Hello evreyone,

i want to ask which cable should be used for "Cmod C2: Breadboardable CoolRunner-II CPLD Module" . I am novice with Digilent, so I dont know what mean JTAG3 cable?(the only explanation in reference manual with this Module). Is that JTAG-HS3, JTAG-HS2, JTAG-USB Cable or some ohter(section programmers on the DIgilent Web site)?

Regards

Hi @S.P,

Any of those cables you mentioned should work; if you're not certain, each of those programmers reference manuals (JTAG HS3 reference manual link as an example) has a list of supported target devices, on which the Coolrunner-II CPLDs are listed.

Thanks,

Hi JColvn,

many thanks for your answer, could you please tell me about basic learning material "Cmod C2: Breadboardable CoolRunner-II CPLD Module", how should I start? I am a novice in this field.

Hi @S.P,

Our Coolrunner-II CPLD is retired, so we don't have a lot in terms of active support. All of the materials that we do have for the Coolrunner-II can be found on it's Resource Center here: https://reference.digilentinc.com/reference/programmable-logic/coolrunner-ii/start. It looks like Xilinx may have some additional information (though perhaps not for this board specifically) on their website as well: https://www.xilinx.com/products/silicon-devices/cpld/coolrunner-ii.html.

Thanks,
JColvin
