4) JTAG Initialization

The status of the board JTAG chain is checked using Xilinx Tools (Hardware Manager in Vivado).

To check to see that the JTAG chain is initialized correctly, follow this JTAG Initialization Test Case:

1. Remove any FMC cards from ZCU102.
2. Set the mode switch SW6 for JTAG mode (0000), which is ON ON ON ON for the ZCU102.
3. Power up the ZCU102 on the bench (not in a PC chassis).
4. Connect the Digilent USB A-to-micro B cable to the ZCU102 (through the Digilent onboard USB-to-JTAG configuration logic module - U21 - through header J2).
5. Check that the Digilent device shows up in the Device Manager.
6. Ensure Xilinx tools (Vivado 2016.4 or later - preferably the latest version of tools that support the ZCU102) are correctly installed.
7. Launch Vivado Hardware Manager - is the cable identified correctly? 

• If not, see section 3) Cable detection above.
• If yes, but Vivado Hardware Manager did not discover and display the JTAG chain, slow down the cable speed (Output > Cable Setup).
• If yes, but Vivado Hardware Manager did not discover and display the JTAG chain and slowing the cable speed does not resolve the issue, see the following (assumes Digilent USB A-to-micro B cable is plugged into USB-to-JTAG configuration logic module U21 through J2): 
  

If following the above steps does not allow you to initialize the JTAG chain, please disconnect the Digilent USB A-to-micro-B cable from the board and PC.

Connect the Platform Cable USB to header J8, and connect to your PC.

Ensure Xilinx tools (preferably the latest version of tools that support the ZCU102) are correctly installed.

6) Quad-SPI configuration

Booting from the dual Quad-SPI non-volatile configuration memory is accomplished by storing a valid Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC boot image into the Quad-SPI flash devices connected to the MIO Quad-SPI interface, setting the boot mode pins SW6 [4:1] = QSPI32, then either power-cycling or pressing the power-on reset (POR) pushbutton.

The Vivado Hardware Manager can be used to indirectly program the dual Quad-SPI flash device on the ZCU102.  

A bitstream programmed into the dual Quad-SPI flash is used to configure the Zynq UltraScale+ FPGA U1.  If you have loaded a .mcs file into the SPI flash on the ZCU102, and subsequent SPI configuration of the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC device fails, the following points should be checked:

a) If the .mcs file is correctly loaded, you will see the selected FLASH device added to the JTAG chain.

By clicking on the flash device, you will see the MCS file successfully loaded.

If you do not see the FLASH device attached to the ZU9EG device, see the Vivado Design Suite User Guide: (UG908) Programming and Debugging, or the latest version of the document available on Xilinx.com

b) Verify the mode switch settings for QSPI32 configuration:

QSPI32 Mode Pins[3:0] = 0010 (on, on, off, on)

c) In Vivado Hardware Manager, select a lower cable frequency and re-attempt configuration.

d) Pulse the PS_PROG_B (SW5) push button on the ZCU102, to attempt to reload the FPGA with the configuration image.

e) Review (Xilinx Answer 34904) - Xilinx Configuration Solution Center.  The Configuration Solution Center is available to address all questions related to Configuration.

If the above steps fail to enable SPI configuration, please review the Support Webpage for your available Support options.
