[Moved] How to avoid using PLatform Cable USBII to burn fpga builds on FPGA boards

[ameynaik1989@gmail.com]

Hi All,

I have xilinx fpga boards, To burn an fpga build image on both, I have to manually connect and disconnect platform cable usb II.
Is there a hardware available in market (a switch) to avoid manual connection/disconnection on Xilinx platform cable USB II?

Thanks

The Platform Cable USB II uses JTAG so...

Have all the boards powered up and daisy chain the JTAG to a new jtag header (or the flying lead set). This won't perform as fast so you might have to run it at <6 MHz but the Xilinx tools will work with such configuration, you just have to enter the chain information.
