<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi All,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Iam following the lectures of Kirk; very good!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>He placed the mercury and ozy code using the nwire connections on the
web.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Now iam trying to program the mercury via JTAG; resulting in the
message <FONT face=Arial size=2>"Can't access JTAG chain"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Iam using a clone USB programmer (link to ebay from
the hpsdr reflector).</FONT></DIV></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I tried the JTAG debugging option which results in
:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Uncertain JTAG chain</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>info: Detected 1 device(s)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>info Device 1: EP3C25</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The programmer detects the device but seems not
able to program via JTAG the FPGA.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Programming the prom is working correctly.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Also the programming of OZY using JTAG worked.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Are there other using the clone USB blaster and having problems programming
the Mercury FPGA and solved the problem?</DIV>
