This article describes specifics for the Syntacore SCR1 Arty SDK.

J-Link support

Hardware requirements

Please note that a current J-Link model is needed for RISC-V support: Overview

Software requirements

J-Link software V6.44 or later is required to support the Syntacore SCR1. Older versions will not work.

Example projects

Please refer to the Syntacore SCR1 article to see what sample projects are available.

Preparing for J-Link

Initially, the Arty board does not run any Syntacore SCR1 core, so the FPGA on it needs to be configured first. For instructions how to do this, please refer to

The Syntacore SCR1 Arty SDK does not come with a standard debug connector but populates the debug JTAG signals on a custom connector. Therefore, it needs to be manually wired in case J-Link shall be connected to it.

In the following, it is described how the pins of connector JD on the ARTY board needs to be wired to J-Link. All pins of the J-Link side refer to the standard 0.1" 20-pin connector of J-Link.

Wiring connection
Pin JD (ARTY) Pin J-Link Description
3 3 nTRST
4 9 TCK
7 13 TDO
8 5 TDI
9 15 nRESET
10 7 TMS
11 4 GND
12 1 VCC/VTref

Note: The pins on the JD connector are numbered as follows:

6 5 4 3 2 1
12 11 10 9 8 7
