openocd-xilinx-loader

Some Python scripts to program Xilinx FPGAs using OpenOCD.

NOTE: Since the bugs in OpenOCD that caused me to write the load_fpga.py script are now fixed, you should use the native OpenOCD support for Xilinx FPGAs instead--it's much faster and also supports 7-series devices. For example:

$ openocd -f <interface config> -f cpld/xilinx-xc6s.cfg -c "init; xc6s_program xc6s.tap; pld load 0 bitstream.bit; exit"

Requirements

• OpenOCD
• Python 3

Usage

$ ./load_fpga.py your_bitstream.bit
$ ./get_status.py

Limitations

• Currently only works with Spartan-6 devices.
