Xilinx Virtual Cable

Xilinx Virtual Cable (XVC in short) technology is based on fact that the JTAG communication is send across TCP/IP network. On the other site there is program which is sending JTAG command to the connected interface. Network protocol is documented and it is directly supported in ISE and ChipScope development SW. So it is easy to integrate own JTAG interface fully integrated into development SW.

XVC_FT220X01A	Xilinx Virtual (JTAG) Cable with FTDI FT220X chip XVC JTAG programming cable for downloading and debug projects with XILINX FPGA/CPLD device. It is directly supported by ISE design software (and Chipscope as well). The design software sends commands across network to the computer with this cable attached to it and supporting software sends data to JTAG interface. This XVC cable is based on a cheap FTDI FT220X chip.	WebSVN Wiki		XVC_FT220X01A.cs.pdf XVC_FT220X01A.cs.html
