Xilinx SmartLynq Plus

Chapter 7
JTAG Target Interface
The JTAG target interface uses a standard 14-pin connector. Xilinx recommends using the
provided 6-inch ribbon cable or 6-inch ying leads to connect the SmartLynq+ Module to the
JTAG interface on the target board, as shown in the following gure.

To take advantage of the ribbon cable, a mang connector must be incorporated into the target
board, as is implemented on Xilinx evaluaon boards. This connector is normally installed only
during prototype development. When the producon hardware is funconal and the JTAG
devices can be congured from alternate sources, the connector can be eliminated from the
board cost. Maintaining the footprint for this connector is recommended if space permits.
