Virtex-6 FPGA GTH Transceiver - AC JTAG, 1149.6 design considerations
描述
The IEEE Std 1149.6 (AC-JTAG) test function is not available for the GTH transceivers when the FPGA is not configured with a design. This answer record discusses how to correctly instantiate the GTH transceivers for use with IEEE Std 1149.6
Applies to: Virtex-6 HXT devices and only the GTH transceivers (GTX Transceivers are NOT supported)
解决方案
Work-around:
All the GTH transceivers utilized in AC-JTAG testing must be instantiated and initialized in an FPGA design before starting the AC-JTAG test. The recommended procedure is as follows:
1. Configure the FPGA with a design in which all of the following are implemented within the FPGA design: a. All the utilized GTH transceivers are instantiated. b. All the utilized GTH transceivers are initialized. For proper initialization of the GTH: i. The reference clock of the correct frequency must be provided ii. The DCLK must be provided iii. The initialization sequence must be performed as specified in (Xilinx Answer 37412).
2.Wait for the configured FPGA to complete its GTH initialization sequence.The GTH initialization sequence is indicated by the internal GTH Quad Port GTHINITDONE signal. One solution for ensuring the GTH initialization sequence is complete is for the FPGA design to route the GTHINITDONE signal to a pin that the boundary-scan test tool can sample after the completion of the FPGA configuration procedure. An alternate solution is to wait after the completion of the FPGA configuration procedure for a minimum time. For example, a wait counter of 256,000 TCK cycles can be used as the wait time before starting the AC-JTAG test. The recommendation of 256,000 cycles assumes that the FPGA design is implemented with an internal DCLK of 50 MHz and that the TCK clock of 50 MHzis used.
