Hello.

Sorry for asking,
TMS570LS31 can be programmed using the USB-Blaster download cable company Altera?
Contact jtag connect properly.
Sorry for bad English.
Regards,

Vladimir

    Vladimir,

    Thank you for using our forum.

    The TMS570LS31xx uses a standard JTAG interface.
    Our download tools will not work with the USB-Blaster from ALTERA.

    Are you using a Texas-Instruments development board or are you designing your own PCB to use the part?

    Hi,

    Thanks for the answer.

    I do not have development board.  I need to program the TMS570LS31 on my board for the scheme:

    PC or μC -  USB interface – FPGA – JTAG TMS570LS3137.

    What should be the algorithm of FPGA?

    Regards,

    Vladimir.

    Vladimir,

    If I understand your question correctly, you have designed your own board.
    In your JTAG scan chain you have an ALTERA FPGA and the TMS570LS3137.

    To program your FPGA you are using the ALTERA USB Blaster, and want to be able to download your application in the TMS570LS3137 flash.
    The USB Blaster is connected to your PC via USB port.

    This is not the easiest thing to do.

    First you need to develop a new driver to be able to communicate with the TMS570LS3137.
    This include knowledge of the SCAN access of ARM Cortex R4. In addition, on our Micro-controller we have a TI IP (ICePick) that has to be configured in order to access the ARM Core.

    When this communication is working, you will have to use our Flash API code to execute the algorithm necessary to program our embedded flash memory.

    Please let me know if this is the direction you want to go.
