JTAG Connection

iG-G36D Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC (ZU5/4/3T/3/2/1) SOM Development platform Support JTAG interface through Debug and JTAG Type-C Connector (J8) in Carrier Board for MPSoC/FPGA Programming and debugging. JTAG-SMT4 Programming module in carrier board supports both JTAG and Debug UART functionality.

JTAG Connection Zynq UltraScale MPSoC ZU5 4 3T 3 2 1 Development Platform

Powering ON

Connect the 12V power supply plug to the power connector (J2) of the Development platform as shown below and switch (J2) ON the power supply. Once power is applied to the Development platform, the power LEDs in Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC(ZU5/4/3T/3/2/1) SOM and REN Carrier Board will glow as shown in the below image.

Powering ON Zynq UltraScale MPSoC ZU5 4 3T 3 2 1 Development Platform

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 Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC (ZU5/4/3T/3/2/1)SOM from carrier board with live power.
  3. Contact iWave, if power LEDs are not glowing or PS Error status LEDs are glowing.

Boot Screen

User must go through “Software User Guide” and get familiar with software section of iW-RainboW-G36M-Zynq-UltraScale+MPSoC-SOM

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.
