Power-ON the Development Platform
Connect the 12V power supply plug to the power connector
(J10) of the Development platform as shown below and switch ON the power supply.
Once power is applied to the Development platform, the power LEDs in Virtex UltraScale+ FPGA SOM and Ultra High Speed Carrier Board will glow as shown in the below image.
Warning:
1. Do not try to connect any other power supply other than supplied along with the Development platform.
2. Do not plug or remove the Virtex UltraScale+ FPGA SOM from carrier board with live power.
3. Contact iWave if any LEDs are not glowing
Test Environment setup
Once power is applied to the Development Platform as
explained in the previous section, boot messages being displayed in the debug terminal of the PC/Laptop which is connected to the Development platform. Press any key in terminal immediately to see the command prompt of the Boot loader or wait until OS boots.
After OS boots, Login prompt being displayed in the debug terminal.

JTAG Connection
iW-RainboW-G47D Virtex UltraScale+ FPGA SOM Development platform Support JTAG interface in Carrier Board for FPGA and CPU Programming.
In the carrier board Config Switch (SW6.2) is provided for selecting the JTAG device between FPGA and CPU.
FPGA JTAG Connection to Carrier Board
After changing Config switch and selecting the JTAG device as FPGA, Power on the board connect the JTAG cable to the carrier board as shown below.
Example JTAG Cable which is tested with this Platform is mentioned below.
JTAG-HS2 Programming Cable
Part Number: 410-249 from Digilent
CPU JTAG Connection to Carrier Board
After changing Config switch and selecting the JTAG device as CPU, connect the CodeWarrior® TAP to carrier board via custom made JTAG cable provided from iWave.
Connect the CodeWarrior® TAP to the PC through USB and Power on the board.
