Chain Offset of Target

bitstream chain offset

Specifies the offset of the target
device on the JTAG scan chain for
multi-device chains. Setting this to 0
selects the first device on the chain, 1
selects the second device on the
chain, and so on.

IR Bits Before Target

bitstream preir padding

Specifies the total number of
Instruction Register bits on the JTAG
scan chain prior to the target device
Instruction Register. This option is
used for multi-device scan chains in
order to pad the IR chain properly
with 1s to put other devices in
bypass mode.

IR Bits After Target

bitstream postir padding

Specifies the total number of
Instruction Register bits on the JTAG
scan chain after the target device
Instruction Register. This option is
used for multi-device scan chains in
order to pad the IR chain properly
with 1s to put other devices in
bypass mode.

Description

Connection Type

download connection

This option specifies the connection
type (single or multiple) for the
Bitporter pod used during FPGA
download. If ”single” is used, it is
assumed that only 1 pod is connected
to the system. Therefore, the pod
name is not used and the first pod
found will be used for download. If
”multiple” is used, then the pod
name must be specified since there
are multiple pods connected to the
system.

Pod Names

download pod names

Specifies the Bitporter pod(s) for
programming. Pod names are listing
with comma delimitation, for
example,

usb12345, net10234

.

This option does not affect pod
