X300 dongle: Revision 4


X300 dongle

JTAG

I took picture of both sides of board, corrected it using perspective tool in gimp and added layers with VCC (5V and 3.3V) and GND (checked with unimer continuity test).

JTAG pinout doesn't match silkscreen designation of pin 1 (it's rotated). It also doesn't have VCC pin connected, so you need to supply 5V power via other means (I used PS/2 connector).

VHDL to toggle pins

Toggle pins on all four sides of CPLD and create additional two images with all one and all zero for easy test where pin is

dongle1.vhd

Then I connected logic analyzer on pins and tried different svf files (all-0, all-1, left, bottom, right, top) to locate which pin change depending on image loaded. To isolate pins I used EXTEST and toggled pins.
