USB JTAGScan - Sample Project

Overview

This sample project demonstrates using FTDI’s FT2232C I.C. device Multi-Protocol Synchronous Serial
Engine ( MPSSE ) controller to do JTAG routines for scanning in, scanning out, scanning in and out, and
getting the data. The executable application and full project code ( in Delphi ) are provided.

The project code only demonstrates using 32 bits, but can be extended up to 64 KByte. The GetData routine
in the example shows how to collect data. For this type of application the FT2232C’s read buffer latency
timer should be left set to 16 ms ( the default value ). The routines in this project use the Send Immediate
command to send any outstanding data.

Requirements

This project is designed to run on Windows 2000 or Windows XP PC, and requires FTDI’s FT2232C drivers
to be installed.

Running the Sample Application

Run JTAGScan.exe. The following dialogue window will be shown. Use the Device name drop down menu
to select the MPSSE device that you want to talk to. This application is designed to be run with a Texas
Instruments SN74BCT8244A JTAG Scan / Test device, but the source code could be modified to allow it to
be used with almost any JTAG device. Obviously, the hardware configuration, and thus the application will
vary depending on which device the FT2232C is being interfaced with.
