The Digilent JTag uses FT2232, but its configuration EEPROM contains secrete data needed to be recoginzed by Xilinx ISE/Vivado. The following method only works on linux (tested on Ubuntu16.04), but the patched FT2232 doggle also works on Windows. Since WSL1 does not provide USB device access, the following method will not work for WSL1.
DONT use FT_Prog on offical Digilent cable, as it can trash the firmware! The offical eeprom contains secrete data that cannot be handled correctly by FT_Prog.
Here are steps to create a Digilent-like Jtag that can be used in Xilinx ISE and Vivado
- Install softwares:
sudo apt-get install libftdi1 ftdi-eeprom - Create a file "flash_digilent.conf" with the following content: flash_digilent.conf:
vendor_id=0x0403
product_id=0x6010
flash_raw=true
filename="digilent_jtag_uart.bin" # Filename, leave empty to skip file writing
- Backup the original content of the EEPROM:
sudo ftdi_eeprom --read-eeprom flash_digilent.conf, then rename and move the digilent_jtag_uart.bin to a safe storage location. - Generate a firmware for Digilent Jtag with a UART interface:
echo -n -e \\x01\\x08\\x03\\x04\\x10\\x60\\x00\\x07\\x80\\x2f\\x08\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x9a\\x12\\xac\\x34\\xe0\\x1a\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x56\\x00\\x01\\x00\\xc7\\x92\\x6a\\x35\\x51\\x01\\x80\\x30\\x4a\\x74\\x61\\x67\\x53\\x6d\\x74\\x31\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x44\\x69\\x67\\x69\\x6c\\x65\\x6e\\x74\\x20\\x4a\\x54\\x41\\x47\\x2d\\x53\\x4d\\x54\\x31\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x01\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x12\\x03\\x44\\x00\\x69\\x00\\x67\\x00\\x69\\x00\\x6c\\x00\\x65\\x00\\x6e\\x00\\x74\\x00\\x34\\x03\\x44\\x00\\x69\\x00\\x67\\x00\\x69\\x00\\x6c\\x00\\x65\\x00\\x6e\\x00\\x74\\x00\\x20\\x00\\x41\\x00\\x64\\x00\\x65\\x00\\x70\\x00\\x74\\x00\\x20\\x00\\x55\\x00\\x53\\x00\\x42\\x00\\x20\\x00\\x44\\x00\\x65\\x00\\x76\\x00\\x69\\x00\\x63\\x00\\x65\\x00\\x1a\\x03\\x32\\x00\\x31\\x00\\x30\\x00\\x32\\x00\\x30\\x00\\x33\\x00\\x38\\x00\\x35\\x00\\x39\\x00\\x32\\x00\\x38\\x00\\x39\\x00\\x02\\x03\\x00\\x00\\xfb\\x6a > digilent_jtag_uart.bin
- Flash the firmware to FT2232's EEPROM:
$ sudo ftdi_eeprom --flash-eeprom flash_digilent.conf

How did I patch the second interface to make it a UART
Compile (gcc xxx.c -o xxx) the following code and run it. It will patch the EEPROM file (digilent_eeprom.raw) and recalculate the checksum. After patching, follow mentioned procedure to flash the patched EEPROM. Now interface A is JTag (Digilent & Xilinx compatible) and interface B is UART which can be used for debug purposes.
Changes: byte0x01: 0x01 -> 0x08, byte0xFE: 0x7B->0xFB, byte0xFF: 0x6E->0x6A
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>
int main()
{
uint8_t buf[256];
int size = sizeof(buf);
unsigned short checksum, value;
FILE * pFile;
pFile = fopen("digilent_eeprom.raw", "rw+b");
fread(buf, 1, 256, pFile);
buf[1] = 0x08;
// calculate checksum
checksum = 0xAAAA;
for (int i = 0; i < size/2-1; i++)
{
value = buf[i*2];
value += buf[(i*2)+1] << 8;
checksum = value^checksum;
checksum = (checksum << 1) | (checksum >> 15);
}
printf("%02x, %02x\n", buf[size-2], buf[size-1]);
buf[size-2] = checksum & 0xFF;
buf[size-1] = (checksum >> 8 ) & 0xFF;
fseek(pFile, 0, SEEK_SET);
fwrite(buf, 1, 256, pFile);
fclose(pFile);
return 0;
}
