JTAGMaster - versatile programmer
What is the JTAGMaster?
JTAG (Joint Test Action Group) is a standard protocol which provides an access port to printed circuit boards (PCBs) and is
regulated by the industry standard IEEE1149.1. One of the purposes of JTAG is to allow hardware interfaces to transfer data
into the internal memory of devices whilst they are already on the PCB. Commonly, this is known as In-System Programming.
The JTAGMaster provides In-System Programming (ISP) via two standard headers based on the Altera and Xilinx models.
However, a wide variety of devices can be programmed using the JTAGMaster thanks to the configurable cable provided.
The JTAGMaster is not limited to ISP and is also capable of programming serial EEPROMs out-of-circuit. The protocols
supported by the JTAGMaster are SPI, I C and Microwire.
In-System Programming provided by the
JTAGMaster uses the JTAG protocol to send
programming, erasing and other testing
instructions to ICs on the printed circuit board.
The JTAGMaster supports all the devices released
by Altera, Xilinx, Lattice, Cypress, Atmel and other
manufacturers of devices that can be configured
in-system using JTAG.
The JTAGMaster supports the file formats used as
industry standards by PLD suppliers such as SVF
(Serial Vector Format) and JAM STAPL (Standard
Test and Programming Language).
Two interface headers are provided to allow ease
of connection to a wide range of standard
applications. Custom connectors can also be
accessed with the configurable cable.
Integration with your existing system
The programming capabilities of the JTAGMaster
can be easily transferred to an existing setup for
seamless and central operation. Individual
programming applications can be called up
using a standard command line tool.

SPI, I C and Microwire programming
The JTAGMaster unit is also capable of
programming EEPROM devices using external
adapters. Standard binary files are supported and
can also be modified in the device buffer window.
A wide range of EEPROM devices are present in the
library which can be easily updated by users.
The signals and power connections are
automatically mapped by the software depending
on the protocol used:
- Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
- Inter-Integrated Circuit (I C)
- Microwire (µWire)
