2015

First year an Xilinx 7 series based product or Zynq based product passed into semifinals for the

 

HackdaDay prize

Trip To Space

 

A small step for those on the way to

All Programmable ...

... world?

Overview

The DIPFORTy1 "Soft Propeller" is based on the Xilinx Zynq-7010, a System on Chip which contains a FPGA and a Dual Core ARM A9+ processor with enough logic gates to become a Propeller. The board also has 16 MByte of Flash used for configuration and everything fits on a Propeller-compatible DIP 40 pinout.

DIPFORTy1 "Soft-Propeller" is the lowest cost Zynq-based module ever made and the first ZYNQ module that can use existing bases and project boards (Parallax Propeller chip compatibility). All this in a compact 1.8 x 5.1 cm form factor, at the most competitive price.

Only PCB Revision 01 is Open Source.

JTAG Header

TE0722 JTAG Connector J2 -TOP view

Use XMOD - Programmer

XMOD Programmer can be used as JTAG-Programmer and UART Interface.

JTAG header pinout using "alternate" mapping for XMOD-FT2232 JTAG adapter. This mapping, if needed can be changed by reprogramming the XMOD-CPLD. Connect XMOD on the top side of the PCB (Side with FPGA and module name). Use XMOD Pin 1 to 10.

If TE0722 is powered via XMOD (max. ~ 100mA), use XMOD DIP-Switch:

POSValue
1ON
2OFF
3ON
4ON

If TE0722 is powered with external 3.3V, use XMOD DIP-Switch:

Use other JTAG - Programmer

For example Xilinx Platform Cable USB2 or Digilent XUP USB-JTAG Programming Cable.

If you use a other programming cable than XMOD, TE0722 need a external 3.3V power supply. Use following connection:
